The Art of Slowing Down with Dr. Elizabeth Wade is an invitation to step out of “push through” mode and reconnect with your body.
In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll explore how chronic stress reshapes the nervous system—and why healing can’t happen in survival mode.
Blending science with practical tools, Dr. Wade (a clinician specializing in stress, trauma, and nervous system regulation) will walk us through how stress impacts:

  • Hormones + cortisol
  • Blood sugar + metabolism
  • Gut health + digestion
  • Sleep + recovery
  • Energy + mood

You’ll learn:

  • Why wellness routines often fall short without nervous system support
  • The difference between rest and true regulation
  • How to recognize when you’re in survival mode
  • • Simple, daily practices to support your body (rhythm, light, hydration, breath)
  • How to work with your body—not against it
  • You’ll leave with a deeper understanding of your stress physiology—and simple tools you can start using right away.
  • Slowing down isn’t passive. It’s intelligent.
