Michelle’s approach to teaching our group how stress affects both body and mind was a perfect blend of her scientific knowledge, and her warm, friendly manner as an educator. She created a comfortable, safe space for us to learn in, and share if desired. We learned many, simple to practice techniques that relieve stress. Meditation, guided imagery, focused breathing, yoga and more. Being mindful of negative self-talk and replacing it with positivity has been a life changer for me. It truly gave me a noticeable emotional lift, which led to taking better care of myself physically as well. I’ve been getting much better sleep, and I’m more calm and focused in stressful situations. I highly recommend the Stress Management and Resiliency Training program taught by Michelle Friedberg. Don’t wait.
