Have you found that life & pressure has sped up faster than you know how to manage?
The fact is your genetic memories of dealing with stress, such as what to do when encountering a dangerous animal, can help you only up to a point and specifically with how to deal with physical dangers. People are now experiencing speed wobbles of increasing pressure that are creating modern day stress, as you are being invited to change, adapt and transform with increasing effectiveness. Many people are dealing with a dysregulated nervous system and so, you need to understand what stress is, you need to identify triggers in real time, you need tools to manage the stress response, and you need to become masters of transforming stress to create the life you desire.
Stress is also responsible for causing 80-90% of disease, and it is imperative you reduce stress in these unique times across the board to stay healthy and strong.
Whether you’ve had significant mental, emotional or physical trauma taking you into fight, flight, freeze or fawn responses at the drop of a hat, or not, the level of stress in society is high on average in our global world. Opening your inbox to see hundreds of new emails or realising you are double booked can trigger a stress response today that is appropriate for pure physical survival in the jungle but is not an appropriate reaction to an email or double booking!
Society at large is needing tools that are easy to do, and that don’t trigger a stress response itself through sheer overwhelm of things on your plate! Stress Rescue™ takes you back to the basics, introducing tools you need for managing your brain, and in a fun, relaxed and do-able way. These tools help you to:
- Identify your stressors in all areas of your life and expand your awareness of what is happening. This is the first step of empowerment for you to start taking back the reins, and how your brain functions.
- To apply tools to the stress response within the first 10 seconds of a trigger to arrest the stress response.
- To apply tools to stop the stress response after stress hormones have already flooded the system.
- To gently shift your approach to life and put you back in the driver’s seat, so you self regulate stress responses.
The tools work with amongst others: breath, effective body relaxation techniques, chi, movement, reflection, increasing left and right brain functionality (increasing rational and creative/intuitive brain processes), learning to control what you can let go of and what you can’t, acceptance, affirmations, tools to shift your life incrementally and consistently, enhancing intuition, and more.
Stress Rescue™ can be taught in multiple ways:
- A one-day training of 8-9 hours
- 5 x 1.5-2 hour workshops that allow for feedback of tools applied in previous training sessions
- 2 x half day workshops of 4-4.5 hours each. This also supports feedback of applied tools.
- Additional online support training is possible for the integration of some of the foundational tools.
With multiple solutions and stress management approaches in Stress Rescue™, each individual has the opportunity to choose which tools elevate you the most, apply those and get results, and then to explore additional tools as you progress and improve the stress levels in your life.

What other people have said about Stress Rescue™:
As a teacher of Stress Rescue™ and a Medical Doctor of over 30 years experience, I have many cases of anecdoctal evidence for the support I was able to give the general public.
The sessions include breathwork which directly impacts the stress response, lowering pulse rate and blood pressure. I have had a number of patients who were able to avoid medication for blood pressure symptoms and become self regulating in their stress response and who were able to reverse their early rise in blood pressure.
Further to this, Stress Rescue™ provides key information for participants in preventing the hormonal cascade in our stress response. With regular classes this becomes second nature to participants who put the advice into practice.
In managing work-life balance the course offers opportunity for reflection and self analysis.
I highly recommend this course and our teachers are trained to a high standard of delivery.
I’m happy to answer questions.

My journey with stress started way back when I was a child: I had no tools or ways to manage it and so it became something that continued into my teens and adulthood which affected my life hugely. I started yoga and breathing at the age of 17 and throughout my life, I tried many different techniques to control my stress levels. In that time, I had a successful career in TV & Film and then went on to open my own business and became an entrepreneur. The stress levels were so incredible that I started to have panic attacks – real ones where I couldn’t move or breathe. This propelled my journey to seek a life that was healthy and fulfilling. I studied many different modalities and eventually gained my PhD in Natural Medicine. Stress Rescue™ is the most effective program that I have found that can help any individual no matter what their belief system is, whatever their background is, and with no level of experience. Yet the most experienced in wellbeing will go much deeper than they have ever gone before. For me personally, I found the inner peace and stillness that I needed to make good decisions in my everyday life.
Because of these tools, I’m able to take a step back, stay calm and think about the decisions I want to make. I’m not in fight, flight or fright mode. Therefore I’m stronger in all areas of my life, which, of course, brings the peace that was missing.
I’m a huge fan of breathing correctly, everyone can do this, any age, any ability. It slows down the brainwaves, controls the stress levels and directly affects the physical reaction to something external.
When you are in a better work-life balance and not winging it from apathy or stress, we make better decisions down to our food and friend choices; we no longer react and therefore everything is in balance including the work-life aspect. I highly recommend Stress Rescue™ for any adult or teenager – it’s an incredible program that is all inclusive.

I found the techniques really beneficial especially the breathing and specific meditation techniques (something I had never done before). If something comes into me that triggers me into a pattern of stress and panic, I feel that taking time to connect to my breath and inhale and exhale really calms me down. The slightly longer technique for relaxing my body really helps with the stressors as I tend to hold tension in my shoulders and lower back. I find that relaxing the body parts redirects my stress completely. The technique of recognising what situations are beyond my control where I can do nothing about it, gives me the tools to make peace with it, instead of pushing for a specific outcome and forcing a situation beyond my control. Breathing, meditation and acceptance have been game changers.
In the workspace, I have gained greater awareness for when and how to break things down into bite-sized steps and know how I can intersperse small tasks with relaxation techniques. This has given greater clarity of mind, peace of mind and mitigates a state of overwhelm. Movement is key and some of the exercises really support the stress in the body. I really believe that if these strategies were recognised and people were allowed to do this in an office situation on a 5-10 minute break, it would help with greater productivity and ease, work satisfaction and healthier work environment.

I’ve done the exercises and it has helped me a lot with my mind patterning and way of reacting – I was always reacting. As a journalist, I was trained not to lose one second and every time I would go back to a new story with more balls and without any pauses inbetween. The tools helped me to switch to another mode because in television this stress response may have been helpful, but in my life and in business, it damaged my relationships as I was always reacting – throwing the ball back and never pausing. The exercises in Stress Rescue™ helped me to breathe within and do the inner work before getting an answer. It also helped me with my work as an entrepreneur, because my image as a journalist was to rush-rush-rush and I transferred that to how I worked as an entrepreneur. Stress Rescue™ uplevelled me into an ‘elevated entrepreneurial league’. As for my body, I don’t have freeze moments anymore as I know how to breathe through it, and I know how to get connected to my senses, my inner wisdom. In the past, I consistently had reactive answers where I then spent 3 days regretting what I had said and going over the words over and over in my mind, thinking about what I ‘should’ have said. Now I can get a response from within versus a reaction, and then there is peace of mind right there. This is a huge change for me.

I spent many years working for investment banks (Credit Suisse, CitiBank and CICC) and suffered two burnouts, many mental health issues, depression, anxiety attacks and Bipolar type II disorder. Stress management and Stress Rescue™ with Julia have helped me to regain control of my physical body, gain mental focus and enjoy life again. I have tried many things over the years but working with Julia has been very rewarding. She is an expert in this field, and I highly recommend her.
