A 2001 survey by the American Nurses Association reported that for 70% of the nurses the acute and/or chronic effects of stress were among their top three health and safety concerns. Stress not only affects wellbeing and health, it interferes with the capacity of a health provider to safely deliver care.
Having in mind that you nFrom a holistic perspective, the human body is viewed as a complex physical, emotional, mental and spiritual organism. Likewise, the effects of stress on the body vary from person to person due to factors going from nature (genetics) to nurture (environmental, nutritional, genetical).
This hands-on class will briefly review the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology of stress and its effects on perceptual field, attention span and learning. Practitioners will also have the opportunity to learn easy and effective techniques to counteract stress.
The class will also discuss the multidimensional factors contributing to prevent deleterious effects from stress.

She is certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists as a consulting hypnotist. The NGH is the world’s largest professional organization for hypnotists.
Linda’s background as an Advanced Practice Nurse (ARNP) with an MBA led her into setting up the first Wellness Center in New York City and bringing hypnosis for stress management, weight loss and smoking cessation to the centers she later founded.
