Spring 2010 Seminar Series

Stress Busters: Coping With Stress In Your Life

We all have stress, so while limiting stress in our lives is important, it is more crucial to learn how to cope with it.  Stress has been found to be one of the most common barriers to improving wellness, but the irony is that how we deal with it directly impacts our physical and mental well-being.  This seminar will present a variety of coping strategies to help us better process the stress in our lives.

Light, healthy bites and beverages will be provided.  The cost is $40 per class or $150 for the 5-class series.  Please visit www.thewellnesstrain.com or contact us at 602-820-8417 for more information or to register.
