There’s a reason you feel wired but tired, find it hard to concentrate, or wake in the night with your mind racing. Behind the scenes, cortisol — your body’s main stress hormone — may be in overdrive. In small bursts, cortisol helps us stay alert and responsive. But when it stays elevated for too long, it can quietly wear us down.
In this 60-minute workshop, you’ll explore the deep connection between prolonged stress, elevated cortisol, and how that affects everything from your mood and memory to your digestion, sleep, and immune health. You’ll learn how the body’s built-in alarm system, designed for short-term survival, can become a long-term saboteur if left unchecked.
Through the lens of mindfulness, we’ll uncover how to soothe the nervous system and gently bring it back into balance. You’ll be introduced to simple, effective practices that can lower cortisol naturally — not just in theory, but in the real-life moments that matter most.
We’ll also explore everyday lifestyle choices that can make a difference: how the timing of your meals, the quality of your rest, and the rhythm of your day all contribute to restoring calm and clarity.
This is about coming home to your body — learning to feel safe, steady, and well again.
