New Book Focuses on Turning Stress into Bless
Theresa Crisci, founder and COO of Total-balance Life Choice, is excited to announce her newly released book, From Stressed to Blessed. Crisci, a corporate wellness consultant and massage therapist for 27 years and a licensed unity teacher for 1 ½ years, shares the tools she has used over the years to help thousands of people.
From Stressed to Blessed is a quick guide to choosing a new perspective during times of struggle, frustration, difficulty or just having a bad day. It reminds the reader these feelings are just the result of thoughts. At any moment we can change our thoughts; we just have to remember to make that choice. Choice is a function of expanded awareness and frees you from merely reacting to circumstances; it is your point of power! The key to living a more authentic life from the essence of your being is a courageous journey of self-observation and self-discovery. This book includes wisdom from the people who were Crisci’s greatest influences and then using that wisdom to create affirmations, writing prompts and visualization exercises.

At the end of May on May 27, Bringing Vision Boards into Clinical Practice will be held in the morning. Vision boards are concrete and creative outlets which provide visual cues and focus. In this hands-on training, you will explore visual goal-setting techniques that can be used with clients, the process of creating a vision board, and how various graphic models can be used in the clinical setting. Participants will also have an opportunity to create a vision board for themselves. Bring magazines and printed material that you best identify with imagery that reflect your personal interests.

Healing the Body: Health at Every Size, Intuitive Eating and the Ethical Healing of Bodies will be offered on May 28 from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. This training seeks to educate mental health and physical health professionals on health at every size, intuitive eating, and how to integrate both into their work.

Dr. Kerr Focuses on Women’s Health with Holistic Moms Network
With so much stress and environmental toxins around women these days, it is important to look at their impact on reproductive health at all ages. On May 18 at 7:30 p.m., join the New Haven County chapter of Holistic Moms Network on Zoom as we gather virtually as Dr. Nicole Kerr, N.D., L.Ac., touches upon fertility, period health and what different symptoms may mean concerning overall health.

Dr. Nicole Kerr, owner of Fertility Oasis, is a licensed naturopathic physician and licensed acupuncturist with more than 10 years’ experience treating women’s health concerns.

The mission of Holistic Moms Network, a nonprofit support and discussion network, is to connect parents who are interested in holistic health and green living. It welcomes people wherever they are on their own holistic path in an environment that does not judge. The monthly meetings, open to the public, are the third Tuesday of each month.
