Bio-Feedback
 Chiva-Som stress management specialist Paul Emery has a new pioneering consultation called 'Bio-feedback Stress Management'. These are fun sessions that take you through a variety of stress management techniques, so you can assess for yourself which one benefits you most by way of instant feedback from the computer software that you are linked to via a simple ear sensor.
Paul first outlines the damaging emotional and physiological effects stress has on you, and then demonstrates several techniques that can transform that stress into a feeling of calm and serenity.
These stress management techniques that are easily performed lead to better overall health, reduced aches and pains and increased levels of the anti-ageing hormone DHEA in the body, so it helps you live a healthier, longer life. And, in day-to-day terms, at work or play, you'll start to notice the benefits immediately.
Anti-stress techniques lead to mental and emotional clarity, which means you're less prone to general anxiety, and quicker to recover when you do get stressed. You'll discover a new sense of inner control that helps you develop emotional balance and more patience with other people. Other benefits include more day to day resilience against stress and improved sleeping patterns.
As a therapist Paul Emery has forged an international reputation for helping people from all walks of life. He's appeared on the Australian TV show Celebrity Overhaul and been featured in many publications such as the Financial Times, Women's Health and the Sunday Independent.
