“Balance is not something you find, it's something you create.”
Jana Kingsford
How's your cortisol?
Calm your nervous system, clear your mind, and rebuild resilience in ways that last beyond that weekend retreat.
(Even if you're in perimenopause... or the full 'pause.)
The Translation
-
"Stress" also known as your cortisol will come down
-
Sleep? What's that? You will remember how amazing it is!
-
You'll remember where you put your keys and your phone... and you'll remember the words that seem to fly out of your head as soon as you want to say them
-
You won't burst into tears because your coffee spilled... though tears release cortisol, so maybe cry anyway!
-
You'll feel like you can breathe again & your heart will stop racing
I felt curious, calm, and connected with nature. The data from my Oura ring and Garmin watch both confirmed the relaxation benefits I experienced. Sarah is a natural guide and offers gentle invitations to explore in a safe environment.
