Learn how herbal allies can provide a plethora of nutrients and medicine to restore and strengthen our nervous systems. This class is designed to give you practical tools to use to reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety; fear, panic attacks, racing heart, insomnia, depression and the “limbo” feeling that sometimes accompanies stress and anxiety.

Nature and simple daily practices of self care are part of the discussion and will leave you with tools to integrate into your life immediately.
