LAKE COUNTY – Events of the world got you feeling frazzled?

Current methods of dealing with stress not working?

Want to make a change but don’t know how or where to start?

Sutter Lakeside Hospital and Center for Health invites you to attend the next session of the Stress Reduction and Relaxation Clinic beginning Tuesday, Nov. 4.

In this eight-week intensive, participants learn new patterns of response to stress and how to transition from being highly reactive to life events, to learning how to respond with calmness. In the small group classroom environment, participants gain support and learn from each other and the curriculum.

Participants will take a Health Risk Assessment and general wellness inventory to assess their current state of mental, emotional and physical well-being.

Through the use of diaphragmatic breathing, progressive relaxation, mindful meditation, gentle movement yoga and other strategies, participants will learn how to consciously and healthily cope with life stress.

The program begins Tuesday, Nov. 4, from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. and meets twice-a-week for eight weeks.

The program instructor will be Leslie Lovejoy, RN, Ph.D. Lovejoy has worked in the wellness, self-help and healthcare field for over 30 years. An educator, wellness coach, and Reiki Master, Lovejoy helps individuals access their self healing potential and return to a life of balance and harmony.
