WORKSHOPS AND WEBINARS

EMPOWERING CARE GIVERS

With the knowledge and skills you need to Thrive!

My mission is to empower caregivers with the knowledge and skills they need to stay strong and compassionate. In my experience, the best way to do this is to provide you with information about how caregiving can lead to chronic stress and eventually result in a type of burnout that many caregivers experience called compassion fatigue.

​

In my workshops, webinars and eBooks, I teach how-to-do methods to identify the early signs of compassion fatigue and to discharge the negative energy of chronic stress to provide immediate relief. But we don’t stop there.

 

​

IT ISN’T ENOUGH TO JUST PROVIDE STRESS RELIEF.

WE CAN TRANSFORM COMPASSION FATIGUE INTO COMPASSION STRENGTHS!

The new science of Positive Psychology has provided a clear roadmap on how to thrive, even in tough jobs: Becoming more aware of and utilizing our strengths, talents and capacities. Learning to focus on and develop more positive emotions while embracing self-compassion. Increasing our resilience and becoming the best version of ourselves that we can. This is the path to: Thriving with Positive Energy!

​

Introduction: Thriving with Positive Energy

Thriving with Positive Energy is my signature workshop and webinar that provides specific tools you can utilize right away to help you FEEL BETTER NOW. In this program you will experience:

​

  • Deep relief by releasing the negative energy of chronic stress and compassion fatigue.

  • Greater sense of vitality by practicing positive energy replenishing exercises.

  • Inner safety and security as you learn to calm, center and connect with your inner self during times of stress.

  • Self-acceptance and appreciation through the transforming power of self- compassion.

  • Inner strength and resilience by embracing your intrinsic value and worth.

  • The activation of your best self as you open your heart and mind to the person you really are.

I will work with you to create a custom workshop or webinar that meets your needs and fits your budget.
