If you are like most of the folks I meet, you probably did a bit of a double-take when you first saw the word stresswell™.   Talk about an oxymoron:  “stress” and “well” are two words that certainly don’t seem to belong together!

Basically, the whole point of  stresswell™ is its focus on being well, which takes us beyond our typical complacent focus on simply “not sick”.  And, since mismanaged stress lies at the root of nearly all instances of sickness, the play on words (i.e., allowing “stress” its double meaning here), the title of stresswell™ offers a playful (and concise!) definition of itself.

Now that I’ve gotten your attention, and you’ve been curious enough to read this far, let’s take a moment to explore why stresswell™ could actually be one of the best available holistic stress management and wellness programs.

  • Mary Elaine Kiener has created a unique program that will change how you handle stress.  Combined with her compassionate and insightful coaching and healthful products, this program is definitely a keeper! –  Bobbie Burdett, Authentic-Life Coaching.

Stresswell™ is a simple (yet elegant), intuitive,  process that will help you remain calm under pressure as you learn to use your strengths to respond (instead of react) to many different kinds of stress.  Then, as you begin to  transform stress into creative energy, you will discover a renewed vitality that makes you life worth loving again.

Typically, programs address stress management and/or wellness from an “outside-in” direction. At best, their primary focus is disease prevention, but more typically address management of existing disease (symptom management).   While these programs occasionally describe an “individualized” approach, they are still basically directive and prescriptive in nature.  You are being told what to do, as well as how and when to do it.

In contrast, stresswell™ provides an in-depth, cost-effective program designed with an “inside-out”, strengths-based, whole-person approach. It draws upon a foundation that addresses established linkages among stress, health, energy and performance.
