Many of us have experienced feeling anxious in response to stress. Stress, whether good or bad, is an unavoidable part of everyday life. How we manage that stress is an important part of our self care and it can significantly affect our overall health and wellness. It’s important to note that there is a difference between those who suffer from an anxiety disorder and those who are experiencing feelings of anxiety secondary to everyday life stressors.

Here at Sparkle we encourage you to find the stress management recipe that works for you because the recipe is different for everyone. If you are managing your stress well, and it can take time and patience to find your recipe, it can make a world of difference in your overall health. When we are anxious, it can affect many other parts of our health such as sleep, diet, and even our relationships with others.

There are many active stress management strategies that can be explored during a health coaching session (see note below) and gradually implemented into your life. However, we also offer some wonderful passive modalities to assist you. In the office, we offer Infrared sauna sessions, PEMF(Pulsed Electromagnetic Field)Mat, Therapeutic massage, Reiki, and EFT (emotional freedom technique or “tapping”). Some are included in your plan and some are at an extra cost. If you are interested in learning more about any of these services, please feel free to call the office or send us a message in the portal.
