Precision Stress Management Coaching

For high performers ready to embrace a work ethic and lifestyle that supports rather than sabbotages their goals

In today’s fast-paced world, stress isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a daily reality for millions. Whether you’re navigating high-stakes boardrooms, managing a young family, running a busy household, caring for loved ones or patients or juggling the demands of studying, STRESS, an insidious condition, can be sapping your energy, undermining your performance and damaging your health.

Unfortunately, we can’t remove stress from our lives, but by being more aware of how it is showing up for us, how it impacts our bodies and minds, we can apply important changes that allow us to build resilience and harness stress better so that we avoid chronic stress building up.

At Stress Ed. we provide 1-1 Coaching that is a clinical grade, scientifically-grounded, comprehensive approach that has helped hundreds of people harness stress, perform optimally, and build resilience in a individualised way.

Our coaching is for you if you have tried to push through, work harder, train harder, and simply give everything until you can give no more.

Our coaching is for you if you’re ready to adopt a different approach to your work and your lifestyle so that you can achieve ‘balance’ in your nervous system and therefore perform optimally – whatever that means for you.

PRECISION STRESS MANAGEMENT COACHING

We believe coaching should be client-centred, include the body and mind AND be grounded in scientific evidence. To achieve this, we use clinical-grade stress assessment and monitoring to identify biological demands and link these with life and emotional demands. From this information, we work with our clients to tailor support and advice to their body and mind within the context of their lives. Stress Management should be precise and personal – we look forward to working with you in a precise and personal way.

Client Testimonials

From start to end, I felt Bernie was straight talking and adept in knowledge and life experience. She is passionate about her field of expertise, helping people recover. She talked to my soul, which thus helped me reframe and make the long-lasting changes I desperately needed. I found her to be real, down to earth, motivating, uber supportive and a joy, brimming with all the good stuff. Seeking her help has been the best decision I’ve ever made for my health.

If you’re finding the combination of ‘training’ and work all too much, then I urge you to sign up with Bernie. She works with you and helps you gain skills that will improve both your life AND your running. I have learnt a lot about my personality that I become burnt out, not because I am weaker than others, but because I need different things that I was not giving myself

Anon Review

A year ago I was suffering from burnout and depression. Bernie helped me by giving me a more balanced insight into why I feel like I do. Chronic stress was a key part of us making changes to lifestyle habits that would help me manage this better. I really enjoyed the sessions with Bernie, who is caring but also very energetic and human. Her support was key to me climbing out of deep water – back up the hill. I am now ready to rebuild my life and have 30+ more good years ahead of me!

Peter
HR Manager

What can I say about Bernie! In the first 6 sessions she had changed my whole way of dealing with stress. No stone was left unturned to create the correct plan for me. She makes everything easy to understand and implement. I haven’t felt so free of stress since I was a teenager. I cannot thank her enough, and I’m really looking forward to continuing the journey.
