The Stress Shift: A 5-Day Guided Series
Stress is part of being human. We may not be able to remove every stressor from our lives, but we can become more aware of how it affects us - and learn simple ways to care for ourselves before it builds.
The Stress Shift is a five-day collection of brief audio and video practices combining breathwork, somatic movement, self-touch, humming and mindful awareness. Each practice offers a different way to reconnect with your body and create a little more space around stress.
You can move through the series one day at a time or choose whatever practice feels most supportive in the moment. Everything is available as soon as you purchase, with lifetime access through your online account so you can return whenever you need it.
This collection may be useful when you’re:
• Moving through a particularly full or stressful season
• Looking for a brief pause in the middle of your day
• Carrying tension in your body
• Having difficulty settling at the end of the day
• Interested in recognizing your stress patterns earlier
• Building a more consistent relationship with breathwork and body-based practices
What You’ll Receive:
Six guided audio and video resources: Short practices using breath, movement, humming, self-touch and mindful awareness.
The Stress Shift Companion Booklet: A clear, accessible guide to understanding stress, noticing your early signals and how to move through the program.
A suggested five-day pathway: A simple structure to help you begin, without requiring you to complete the practices in a particular order.
Lifetime access: Receive the entire bundle immediately, track your progress through your online account and return to the practices whenever you need them.
