Lunch & Learn | Mental Health Matters.
Fridays 1:30pm-3pm PST
April 24th: Anxiety in our Body & How to Release It.
“Anxiety” sounds like a pretty extreme word but it’s something A LOT of us are dealing with. It is very well possible that the “thing” that is holding us back from reaching our body or productivity goals is the build-up of stress and emotions stored in our body! The more we unlock and RELEASE, the more we can overcome.
Tiffany Cooley, Acupuncturist & Chinese Medicine Practitioner based in San Diego, CA will talk us through how we hold anxiety, stress and emotions in our body and how to release the emotional tension. Get ready to get a bit science-y, but also to learn how to take control of your body and release stress yourself.
During the second half of this Lunch & Learn, Tiffany will show us Acupressure techniques for calming the mind, anxiety, stress relief and fear we may be holding onto. Get yourself set-up in a comfortable space, with your favorite scents (essential oils), music, and a cup of tea to experience this acupressure with us.
If you are a powerhouse that constantly has to prioritize your work, hold space and lead others, but have your own mental stuff to deal with, you’ve come to the right place. More specifically, if you’re also trying to reach some physical body goals (lean out, get toned and/or build muscle + strength while eating healthy), but are struggling with maintaining a positive relationship with yourself, these Lunch & Learn events are going to help you. A LOT.
“Mental Health” may seem like an extreme phrase, but it’s a real thing. According to the World Health Organization, mental health is “a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community”.
So whether you have tucked away your childhood upbringings and traumas, or are currently surrounded by different societal pressures (like looking “fit”, maximizing work efficiency, eating healthy or being better with your loved ones), we all experience some level of psychological and emotional battle in our everyday lives. Every week, we will be bringing in different practitioners in the health & wellness/fitness industry who are going to get REAL. They will be sharing their stories, and how certain practices will help with mental AND physical fitness, but also heal and nurture the relationship with yourself.
These Lunch & Learn events will be taking place virtually on Zoom so that you can experience them in the comfort of your own space. You get to choose to be a background listener, but you also have the opportunity to ask questions and get advice + feedback from the practitioners who’ve been through this themselves!
Your ticket includes a replay, so even if you are not available for the LIVE event, you’ll have access to the download of the workshop! The download will be sent to you within 48 hours of the LIVE event.
