We love people.

Except when we don’t.

Let’s face it - sometimes we just downright prefer our pets. 

Some people devour our energy and drain our joy.  But here’s the thing - they don’t have to and there is ever-so-much that you can do about it. 

In this interactive, skill-building, strategy-laden, fun and dynamic workshop, we’ll work to uncover, understand, and work with the famously challenging -  the passive aggressive, the outright aggressive, the negativist, the complainer; the proverbial flies in the ointment.

Positive change is at hand - 

one interpersonal challenge at a time.

Essential information and empowering strategies for parents, caregivers and educators of children and teens

This workshop provides the opportunity to:

• Receive professional guidance and effective strategies for both home and school settings
• Discover common, well-intentioned mistakes you may be making and learn how to proceed more effectively
• Gain a solid understanding of how to implement the most empirically sound approach (C.B.T. & Mindfulness) to treating anxiety

So, you got a little carried away in your enthusiasm to be (and do) everything for everyone.

That’s okay.  I applaud your ambition.

Now breathe.

Drop your cape, and reclaim your life.

This is your invitation to "overhaul the overwhelm" and replace feelings of being overloaded and under-fulfilled with a tailored, deliberate and fuelling approach to life.

This inspiring and strategy-based workshop guides you through a series of insight-oriented activities to help you target areas for change (big or small), embrace your unique potential, and live in sync with what fuels who you truly are. Map a route to creating personal and professional lives that sustain rather than drain.

“Overhaul the Overwhelm” is a half-day workshop through which you will identify what "optimal living" means for you. Develop an individualized plan for change that meets your needs and comfort level and leave with a concrete framework to support and sustain attainable, goal-directed action.

Consider this your invitation to join me for a much deserved recharge at Tigh Na Mara Seaside Spa Resort.   After all your hard work, stay to enjoy the luxury and pampering of Canada’s #1 spa and resort.

Even Wonder Woman deserves a pedicure.

Hang up the cape and invest in yourself.   

You’re most decidedly worth it. 

*Participants enjoy exclusive discounts for room rates and spa treatments.
