“Kathleen Brown provided an excellent workshop called D-Stress to my group of grade 4/5 students. She provided a very practical work booklet to guide us through personal stress awareness, the physical symptoms that can arise and strategies to move past the stress both physically (belly breathing) and mentally (not believing all your thoughts). This is incredibly important to help with day to day interactions when my students are beginning to know themselves. I highly suggest this workshop to revolutionize your perspective on stress.” Anna-Lise Hodgins, Saskatoon, Canada
