At Destressy, I offer three main ways to help you move toward a lighter, more fulfilling life. Whether you're looking to de-stress your body, mind or home I can help you make lasting changes. These online offerings provide a safe and supportive virtual space to begin.
Benefits of Muscle Relaxation
Our body's response to stress is to hold tension in our muscles. Anxiety and other similar conditions can leave us feeling so tense that we become unable to recognize what it feels like to be relaxed.
Guided muscle relaxation (GMR) retrains our muscles and our brain to recognize tension and purposefully release it.
I've developed a unique therapy approach integrating GMR with a blend of:
Therapeutic Self Soothing Touch - promotes relaxation, boost self-healing abilities physically, mentally, emotionally and gives a boost in the production of serotonin in your brain.
Diaphragmic Breathing - (also called deep breathing) is a practice that enables more air flow into your body while eliminating toxins from your lungs and helps calm your nerves, reducing stress and anxiety.
Lymph Stimulation - a touch therapy that is added to your GMR session to promote overall bodily function and prepare your system for other physical therapies such as those performed by a Lymphatic Enhancement Therapist.
When combined together the body is grounded, soothed and regulated during your workshop session. The thinking brain works better. The effects of depression, anxiety and stress are relieved. Blood pressure and fatigue are lowered, and it improves muscle function and increases the overall feeling of well-being.
Using color and shapes to process emotions, improve confidence, and create beauty from chaos.
My classes guide you in using color, shape and simple creative exercises to express feelings, release stress, and reconnect with yourself. These classes are about the experience - not the outcome- offering a safe space where there's no right or wrong way to create.
Whether you're moving through grief, seeking clarity, or just need a mental reset, A.I.M. invites you to slow down, breathe, and discover calm and confidence through intuitive, mindful art.
No art experience needed - just an open heart and a little curiosity.
Science Behind Mindful Art
Mindful art combines creative expression with present-moment awareness, engaging both the brain and the nervous system in a powerful way. As you focus on color, texture, or movement, your brain shifts from a stressed, overactive state (sympathetic nervous system) to a calmer, more balanced one (parasympathetic nervous system). This reduces cortisol levels (the stress hormone) and increases dopamine and serotonin - neurochemicals linked to mood, pleasure, and motivation. Studies show that even brief creative sessions can lower anxiety, regulate breathing and heart rate, and increase feelings of clarity and well-being. Mindful art helps interrupt mental loops of worry or overwhelm, offering a peaceful, grounded space to reconnect with yourself.
