While you may not be able to control the stressors in your life\, you can learn to better manage the stress response through completing the stress cycle. Together we will discuss the impact of mind body connection to address stress and burnout. We will identify the causes of stress\, locate sources of healing in the body\, start breaking down what gets in our way and explore ways to overcome those barriers.\n\n\n\nAbout Alyssa:\n\nAlyssa earned her master's degree in Human Services with a focus in Executive Leadership and a bachelor's degree in Community Health Education.
