Do you notice the impact anxiety has an every facet of your life?
Maybe you're dreading the next panic or anxiety attack, or feeling constantly overwhelmed by daily stress.

Frustrated and overwhelmed by spiraling worry and non-stop thought
Tension and tightness in your body (you feel it in your head, shoulders, neck, throat, or chest)
The weight of responsibilities bearing down on your shoulders
PURE exhaustion everyday
