Stress is a normal part of life, but when left unchecked, it can take a serious toll on our minds and bodies.
Join Naomi Barnes, a Registered Psychotherapist, for a practical and compassionate conversation about how stress affects us and what we can do about it.
In this talk, Naomi will break down the science of stress, explain how to recognize common (and often overlooked) signs in the body and mind, and share simple, effective tools you can start using right away to feel more grounded and in control.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or simply curious about how to build resilience, this event offers useful insight for anyone looking to better manage life’s pressures.
