Stress Management
At Mobile Holistic Healing Services, we understand that stress is a significant factor impacting individuals’ overall health, exacerbated by life’s pressures such as gun violence, unemployment, trauma, and poverty. We believe in providing accessible and free positive outlets for stress relief. Studies have shown the healing benefits of these alternative therapies. Additionally, we offer resources for free or affordable counseling services.
How Stress Impacts Health:
When stress affects the immune system, the body can become vulnerable to infection. Stress can also manifest in physical symptoms such as shortness of breath and rapid breathing, as the airway between the nose and lungs constricts. Chronic stress can contribute to long-term problems for the heart and blood vessels. Moreover, stress is associated with changes in gut bacteria, which can influence mood. Ultimately, stress can increase your risk of anxiety and depression, affecting your everyday life.
We support mental and emotional health by hosting free community events including yoga, meditation, sound healing, and painting.
