Boundaries, Self Care, and Meditation is a course born out of our own personal and professional struggles and our journey to having a life and a practice that we love and can sustain. The intention of this class is deep, personal and professional transformation through evidence-based information and practices.

It is broken up into two parts simply because we wanted to have time for you to process and implement one leg of the journey before undertaking the next steps. Both Part One and Part Two have a significant amount of pre-work to digest and practice before meeting together. This sets the stage for you to find your path to experiencing more joy, energy and balance.

Part Two continues your personal and professional growth. We dive deeper into mediation and self-care practices. Yoga is introduced as a means of mindful movement and energy balance. You will learn to identify unhealthy relational patterns in your patients and others, and skills on how to use language and boundaries to create shifts that keep you grounded and prevent excessive energic and emotional disruptions. There is a lecture on using essential oils for self-care and possibly patient care. Learning new strategies to preserve your own energy, wellness and passion while practicing appropriate self-care and boundaries will lead to helpful relationships with complex patients. In this weekend we dive deeper to understand our energetic relationships with others including our Higher Power. We refine what our life purpose, mission, and joy potential are in this life. You will walk away from this experience equipped with strategies to address both yourself and your patients with a mind, body, and spirit approach. Following the courses completion, participants will be invited to further collaborate with encouragement and sharing experiences through an online platform.
