Print this page Stress Management and Biofeedback Program

Stress is part of modern life, and it can affect our wellbeing, health, sleep and quality of life. This friendly, practical course helps you understand how stress works in your body and mind, and gives you simple tools to manage it. Over four weekly sessions, you'll learn about the body's fight-or-flight response, map your own stress triggers and early warning signs, and practise guided breathing and relaxation techniques. In the final session, you'll be introduced to biofeedback, using heart rate variability (HRV) and EEG equipment to see how your body responds to stress and relaxation. The course combines evidence-informed stress management techniques with hands-on biofeedback to build self-awareness, resilience and healthy habits that last.

No previous experience is needed. Just bring your curiosity and an open mind.
