Description

A health coach since 2014, Bee has coached hundreds of clients to better health. By understanding how humans change, why we need to change and by getting really clear about the goals with meditation puts you in the best position to move towards your meditation practice.What Bee knows for sure is that if you start too big, you're likely not going to still be doing that thing in 2 weeks or maybe 2 months. That is because for change to be sticky, you are best to approach it by first understanding why it will matter to you, know what might get in the way and then introduce the new practice gradually.Meditation can feel very inaccessible because of how we see it represented. Bee comes at it with a completely different approach - giving you both skills and permission to enter the pool very gradually. Coaching clients tell Bee how relieved they are to know that they can meditate and support their nervous system in ways that they hadn't considered to be meditation.This course is for you if:You know that stress impacts your health and happiness You want to meditate but it feels overwhelmingYou want to learn the skills of meditation You're interested in knowing more about how stress impacts your health
