Stress & Anxiety

What you may experience

• Difficulty switching off
• Tight shoulders and jaw
• Disturbed sleep
• Irritability
• Digestive changes

Lifestyle factors that may contribute

These are common contributors, not a diagnosis. Which apply to you — and whether something else is going on — is what the assessment establishes.

• Sustained work or financial pressure
• Irregular routine and poor sleep
• Caffeine and screen use late in the day
• Lack of physical activity
• No recovery time built into the week

When an assessment helps

Most people manage this on their own for a long time before asking anyone. An assessment is worth booking when any of these are true.

• It has lasted more than a few weeks, or keeps returning
• It is changing what you do — how you sit, sleep, work or exercise
• You have tried the obvious things and they have not held
• You are not sure whether it is serious, and would rather someone looked

An assessment is not a commitment to treatment. If we cannot help, we say so and you pay for the assessment only.

How we approach it

We work on the nervous system directly through therapy and breathing practice, while addressing the routine that keeps regenerating the load. Progress is measured on a standard stress scale, not by impression.
