Women's Wellness Reset: Release Stress, Restore Calm, Support Immunity

The holidays are supposed to feel magical, but for many midlife women they feel exhausting - with endless to-dos, family needs, work deadlines, and no real time to recover. When stress piles up, your body doesn’t just feel tired; it can weaken your immune system and make it harder to fight off colds, flu, and other infections. With an expected challenging 2025–2026 flu season ahead, this is the moment to protect your energy and immunity instead of pushing through on empty.

This intimate, in-person workshop is an invitation to press pause, exhale, and reset. You’ll learn simple, effective tools from a double-board-certified MD (Preventive Medicine & Integrative Medicine) that you can immediately weave into a busy life to support stress relief, sustainable energy, and immune resilience.

• Learn quick nervous-system “reset” tools to shift out of the stress response and into a calmer, more grounded state.
• Discover ways to boost steady energy without relying on caffeine, sugar, or stimulants.
• Understand how chronic stress affects immune function, inflammation, and infection risk—and what you can do about it.
• Explore key nutrients, herbs, and supplements that support immune resilience, including practical guidance on what to prioritize on a budget.
• Take home a beautiful Fire Cider kit—a potent, traditional immune-support tonic you can use yourself or gift to someone you love.

• A personalized Stress Reset Toolkit you can use during hectic days, family gatherings, travel, and back-to-back responsibilities.
• Clear ideas for small daily practices that build energy instead of draining it.
• A grounded understanding of how to support your immune system this season, in partnership with your usual medical care.
• A pretty, ready-to-infuse Fire Cider jar with instructions to finish it at home.

• You're a midlife woman who feels maxed out but still wants to show up well for the people you love.
• You keep telling yourself you’ll slow down “after the holidays,” but know your body needs support now.
• You want trustworthy, MD-level guidance that honors both science and integrative wellness.
• You crave connection with other local women who “get it” in an intimate, caring space.
