REMINDER: Tools for Managing Stress Program to be Held in Medfield

At its best, stress can make us stronger, more creative, and more effective in our lives – this is resilience. At its worst, stress can shut down the natural ability we all have to handle the challenges of our lives – it can even make us sick. 

The Medfield Holistic Wellness Center, located at 67 West St., will be hosting a workshop on May 17 and 18 for those who want to learn more about stress management. Come learn about strategies that can help you manage stresses and become more resilient. Meditation is an important tool in the resiliency toolbox. You will also learn about the power of meditation and how to start your own personal meditation practice.

These 1 1/2 hour workshops will provide a free overview of an upcoming four-week Mind Body Program at the Holistic Wellness Center, taught by Patricia Martin Arcari, PhD, RN. Other services offered by the Holistic Wellness Center staff will also be highlighted.

Martin is co-founder of Mind Body Health Consulting, an integrative health practice that helps clients develop strategies to cultivate resilience and manage the physical and emotional symptoms of stress. Services include presentations, workshops, retreats, facilitator training and individual coaching. Dr. Arcari is an associate at the Benson Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, an adjunct faculty member at the Boston College School of Nursing, and former Associate in Medicine at Harvard Medical School.

 The May 17th program will begin at 11 a.m. If you cannot make that workshop then head over to the Wellness Center on May 18th at 7 p.m.
