Workshop on Stress Relief for Women


L


aurie Phillips, owner of Big Heart Coaching, in St. Paul, is offering a workshop to help women find healthy ways


to relieve the stress in their lives. The workshop will be held at her office from 1 to 3 p.m. on August 11. Phillips uses Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) meridian tapping to help clients clear stressful beliefs and patterns. EFT combines acupressure (tapping on certain points) with self-hypnosis (repeating simple phrases) to help people overcome issues in their lives, such as weight, money and stress. She explains that the combination of gentle tapping and simple phrases helps shut off the “threat detection” part of the brain, which can get stuck in the “on” position. EFT interrupts the pattern of behavior to allow new, healthy patterns to be established. Those unfamiliar with EFT can watch a video sample on Phillips’ website,

Cost: $25 before August 4; $35 thereafter. Location: 28 Benhill Rd., St. Paul. For more information or to register, call 651-225-0858, email Laurie@BigHeartCoaching.com or visit BigHeartCoaching.com. See ad on page 13.

p.m. on August 15. The event is open to the public. Doctored, by award-winning producer Jeff Hays


(On Native Soil), explores the monopolization of the medical system in the United States. Some of the ques- tions the movie seeks to answer include: Is much of what we “know” about modern medicine just slick marketing from companies that profit when we’re in pain (or by putting us in pain)? Why aren’t we being told about the successes of natural therapies? Why do so many people think chiropractors are “quacks”, nutritional supplements


are a waste of money and acupuncture is a fringe therapy? A question-and-answer session will follow the film, and refreshments will

diverse group of wellness practitio- ners have formed a cooperative to


offer a variety of complementary and alternative health and wellness ser- vices. The Circle of Healing Arts Co-op (CoHA) provides a variety of experienc- es for individuals looking for compli- mentary or alternative health care. “Educating, supporting and inspir- ing our clients is a major part of our mission,” says Sherri Anderson, certi- fied massage therapist (CMT) and co-op president. This cooperative enables CoHA


to better serve the community with an integrated healing and wellness not available from individual practitioners. “Our goal is to help people feel better in multiple ways,” says founder and CMT Paula Frost. “If one of us is not the right fit for a client, someone else in the group will be able to help them.” Some of the CoHA packages include smoking cessation, weight management, stress relief and an overall wellness sampler. Services include massage, hypnotherapy, Reiki, quantum touch, acupuncture, Oriental medicine, guided imagery, food and beverage fermentation, tuning fork ther- apy, reflective art journeys, shamanism, kundalini yoga, nutrition consultation, life coaching, mediation and archetypal tarot counseling, Young Living essential oils and various classes. The co-op also offers farm-direct food and is a drop site for community-supported agriculture (CSA).
