A Healing Journey Workbook
Healing Your Own Chronic Stress in Disease
Tools I used to heal myself — now yours to use too.

The healing journey
You don’t have to live like this.
✓ Do you constantly feel on edge, even when life seems calm?
✓ Do you struggle to truly relax?
✓ Does stress seem to worsen your pain or physical symptoms?
✓ Do you wake up exhausted despite getting enough sleep?
✓ Does your body rarely feel safe or at ease?
✓ Do you feel stuck in hypervigilance or survival mode?
If you said yes to even one, this workbook is especially for you.
“It was a perfect storm. For over a decade I had talked to my clients about the body–mind connection. Suddenly, I was facing a downward spiral that forced me to put every tool to the test.”
No matter how lost or hopeless you feel, I believe you can and will get better, even if it’s just one small step at a time. This workbook holds the exact tools that helped me heal my own chronic stress, so you can start using them today, at your own pace.
