Business Health and Wealth
More than half of our life is spent in our business environment yet most of the stress management practices we learn about are outside of the business environment. I'm here to change all of that. With simple solutions that easily integrate into the business culture, stress can be significantly reduced, productivity and purpose can shine, life and job satisfaction increases, health is improved, and the organization functions with greater cohesion and confidence.
Instead of reacting, or even guarding against what is next, I bring your team to a place that has them focusing their energy and attention on the present moment and task. With a fresh perspective to the conventional "work harder" approach, scientifically-validated methods of engagement are used to switch the sense of overwhelm and extreme pressure to calm presence and clear seeing. When your team is able to meet the challenges of their moments, they're able to meet the challenges of the ever-changing business needs.
Within the past 18 years, I've led over 4,000 workshops to 100,000+ people, offering trainings within a variety of organizations from Fortune 100 to local charitable organizations. Regardless of the size or structure, we have the desire to flourish, work hard at what we love, and feel a sense of pride in our work product.
If you are a businesses with positive leadership that sees your team members as a vital contributor to the organization, please see which of the program offered would further support your team. 8 limbs Holistic Health is a compatible collaborator with organizations that know that the business thrives when everyone thrives.
Create a distinct competitive edge that goes far beyond the bottom line.

Heart Mapping: A New Door for Decision Making

Reversing Stress with Relaxation
|
|

This session will awaken you to little things that add up to a great night sleep. Don’t be weary. A new sleep routine equals a happy you!

Not leaving the mind behind, heart mapping takes a "global perspective".
|

Effective Communication
Effective communication is a foundation of any healthy relationship. Without it, things fall apart quite easily, time and resources are wasted, projects get derailed, relationships fall apart, stress increases, and satisfaction is hard to find. Let's get back to basics and begin to deeply listen - not just to what's being said but what's not being said but communicated. Have messages be received and understood as they were intended with a positive connection even when agreement isn't present.
|
Power of Positive Thought
How we view a situation can directly determine the outcome. Is this mess in front of you a problem or an opportunity? How can we see the challenges we face through the lens of learning and growth, ones that will boost your self-confidence, reliance, courage, and future skill-set? Come and experience for yourself.
|
Mindful & Emotional Eating
An upsetting day can throw your healthy eating plan right out the window and boredom can lead to mindlessly consuming unwanted calories. Instead of guilt and shame, mindful eating replaces mental and emotional cravings with kindness and compassion. The health benefits become significant as you develop an improved and lasting relationship, not only to food, but also to yourself.

A Few Kinds Words From A Few Kind People
I feel like this series allowed me to take a much needed break during the work day and taught me how to stay grounded with my clients and my own personal struggles. Thank you for sharing. Danielle Frost, Center for Life Management
This was absolutely wonderful for me and I realized how much stress and anxiety I was feeling health wise. I noticed a change. Thank you!!
Martha Palmer NH Public Defender
I really loved this program. With so much work and life stress today, and a fast-paced lifestyle, this program really made me slow down and relax. As a result, I worked better, and felt more at ease throughout the day. It was great that it was first thing in the morning because it started the day off on the right foot. I wish we could have a quick mindfulness session to start off every day! SNHU Attendee
Thank you so much for this great seminar!! While I have struggled with my weight over the last 20+ years, I picked up some very touching and motivating points. Shanti Douglas not only addressed the mechanics about losing weight, which one can always hear, but the human side as well. Most helpful to me was her comments to approach my weight loss/ habit change with love, understanding, kindness and compassion. These are things that I often give to others, but not to myself! As true with all medical / physical challenges, the whole person must be treated! Great job. Fortune 100 bank, Attendee
Shanti demonstrates a high degree of knowledge and expertise with her presentations. Her presentations are engaging, welcome interaction, and aid meaningful learning. Shanti understands the unique needs and diversity of the various employer groups she works with. I am pleased to offer her services to my customers and recommend her.
