A 4 part course teaching stress management for better health and a happier life.

​Have you experienced any of the following symptoms:

  • Anxiety and constant over thinking
  • Feeling low, lack of motivation
  • Digestive problems
  • Headaches
  • Muscle tension and pain
  • High blood pressure and cardiovascular complaints
  • Sleep problems
  • Weight gain
  • Problems with memory and focus

If you have, chances are that some of these symptoms are the result of stress or a stressful event occurring in your life.

Whilst stress is a normal part of life – it helps us take action – it’s definitely not something that we should be overwhelmed by and yet this is too often the case.

Around 60% of Australians report experiencing stress in some form (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2023), and the growing body of evidence continues to link stress to various health issues. Conditions such as anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease, and gastrointestinal problems are increasingly recognized as being directly associated with chronic stress (Smith et al., 2023; Jones & Lee, 2023; Williams & Cooper, 2023). 

The Cultivating Calm course is your opportunity to take control of stress, learn techniques to build resilience and flourish in your life.

This proactive four part program has been designed to help you identify and manage stress to ensure a healthy, happy and productive you.

The Program covers:

Understanding good and bad stress, how to identify chronic stress and an introduction to Mind Body Therapies (MBT) proven to build stress resilience including yoga, mindfulness and strategies from the latest branch of evidence based medicine, Lifestyle Medicine.
The importance of movement in managing stress – understanding the role of the body in storing or releasing stress and trauma.
Understanding the nervous system, its role in the stress response and techniques to improve your vagal tone.
The gut-brain-axis:  Why good nutrition is key – healthy brains thrive in healthy bodies.
Cultivating and participating in supportive relationships and groups.
Strategies to improve sleep, a vital component of healthy stress management.

Who is this Program for?

Everyone!  Stress is ubiquitous in our modern world: The pressure to meet unrealistic ideals portrayed on social media, combined with the 24/7 news cycle, has exacerbated mental health issues, particularly symptoms of anxiety and stress (Johnson & White, 2023; Kross et al., 2023).  We are all feeling it!
 
Cultivating Calm is for anyone dealing with day-to-day stress and especially for those feeling overwhelmed by the stress in their lives.  This course will give you the tools you need to manage overwhelm and build resilience.  It won’t change the world, but it will allow you to respond differently – feeling calm and more in control.

If there were medals for navigating chronic stress, Rebecca would undoubtedly take home the gold. As a dedicated mother of six and a full-time event manager—ironically one of the most stressful professions—Rebecca’s journey has been anything but easy.

She has faced the challenges of divorce, moved more than 20 times, triumphed over cancer (nodular melanoma), and pushed her limits far beyond what most would consider reasonable.
 
However, with three decades of experience on the yoga mat, she embodies the transformative power of yoga for both body and mind.
 
In 2019, she took a significant step forward by becoming a yoga teacher and has recently completed her qualifications in yoga therapy. Additionally, she is a certified Bowen Therapist and Reiki practitioner, passionately running her own business in her spare time.
 
Rebecca is committed to leveraging her diverse skills and personal experiences to help others find relief from pain and stress, enabling them to embrace every day to its fullest.
