Life keeps us busy
Are you tired of living a chaotic life and experiencing relentless stress, worry, and anxiety?
Are you wanting to find ways to reduce your stress so you can feel calm and collected rather than burnt-out and run off your feet?
Are you frustrated that you can’t find strategies that help you slow your racing mind and manage overwhelming emotions?
I get it! Like you and other modern women, life keeps us busy. I’m not immune to stress and overwhelm either, but I have found simple and powerful ways of keeping stress to a minimum to live a more vibrant, harmonious life.
A STRESSFUL START
Around 8 years ago I was in the same position; looking for something, anything, to help me feel less stressed, less anxious, and happier somehow. I experienced daily stress, worry, and anxiety. I was easily stressed over little things, constantly worrying about the future, and feared things that mostly never happened. I was irritable, anxious, unhappy, and experienced anxiety attacks. I didn’t truly know how stressed I was because for me this was my ‘norm’ and from the outside everything in my life seemed okay.
Back then I found it hard to relax and sleep at night. I experienced ongoing tension and neck pain, I’d overeat when I was emotional, lash out at those close to me, and let my highly critical negative thoughts dictate my life! I was trapped in an inner world of conflict but kept it under control just enough that no-one really knew how I felt.
A BREAKING POINT
The tipping point was when I saw others doing the things I dreamt of doing and realised my stress and anxiety was holding me back in life. I decided that from then on, I wanted to enjoy life and find true happiness. At the same time, I came across yoga and mindfulness. I was given the opportunity to study mindfulness as a therapeutic tool while completing my counselling studies.
Things quickly started to change once mindfulness entered my life and I committed to a daily practice. I used mindfulness to make permanent, positive changes in my life. I also began practising yoga and meditation, changed unhelpful mindsets and thoughts, prioritised self-care, and started speaking up as my true self.
A TIME OF LEARNING
I experimented until I found the best strategies that worked to reduce my stress immensely and I learned how to set my life up in a way that was fully conducive to feeling happy, peaceful, light, free, and balanced. I made some big life decisions, but it was truly the small, simple, daily exercises that really helped me overcome chronic stress. I changed from being a stressed, anxious, on edge person to a happier, more relaxed, confident, and easy-going human being!
Now let’s be honest, I am not totally immune to stress; I still experience overwhelm and anxiety at times. However, I have a wide range of tools that make it easier for me to tackle challenges and not let stress consume my whole life. The frequency and intensity of the stress I experience is nowhere near the level I once felt it!
A NEW WAY TO BE
Mindful living is now the foundation of how I live my life and I believe it is one of the key factors that allows me to live with more peace, joy, and freedom than ever before.
I rarely ever experience overwhelming stress like before, nor have I had a single panic or anxiety attack in years. I sleep well nearly every night. Negative, fearful thoughts have lost their power and control over me, and now I’m in charge of my mind! These days I wake up eager for the day ahead knowing exactly how to set myself up for a productive day that flows, knowing I have all the tools I need to handle any challenge or stress that comes my way. The ripple effect of mindful living has improved my relationships, my health, my work, and my overall happiness!

Steph, I can't thank you enough for what you've taught me about mindfulness in daily life and the relaxing and enjoyable exercises we did in our sessions. I have noticed that I am sleeping better and I'm also feeling a lot happier and less stressed. I would love to join another of your group courses in the future and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to feel better, reduce stress and enjoy life more.

Stephanie is a brilliant teacher, kind, patient and knowledgable. She has great skill in teaching mindfulness; a skill that she clearly lives and breathes, because I came through her course with a greater respect for the art of living mindfully and some handy resources and exercises which I put into practice daily. I really enjoyed her classes, getting to know both the theory and practical aspects of mindfulness, and would recommend it to anyone wanting an antidote to the anxiety and worry that a busy life can sometimes cause. Thanks Steph!
