Groups

I am not currently offering a chronic illness therapy group; however, I recommend as a resource the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction group at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle. A brief description and contact information is found below and more information can be found on Swedish's website: Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction

Description of the 8 week program:
Mindfulness-based stress reduction offers you instruction in mindfulness meditation, gentle yoga and a range of strategies to manage stress and physical symptoms. This eight-week class is designed to complement your medical care.
Join instructors Carolyn McManus, P.T., M.A., and Peggy Maas, P.T., as they provide you with:
• Effective ways to manage stress, pain and illness
• Instruction in relaxation and mindfulness meditation
• Gentle stretching exercises that enhance mobility and
build mind-body awareness
• Specific tools to integrate class material into daily life
• A supportive group for sharing experiences and feelings
about illness and healing
