Does Stress, Anxiety, or Overwhelm Hold You Back?

You know all the “right” things to do—breathe deeply, think positively, meditate. Yet, the overwhelm remains.

What I’ve learned in my 25+ years as a psychotherapist is that your body holds the answers, not just your mind. If we listen, it will guide us toward healing.

Join me in this free 1.5-hour workshop, where I’ll teach you foundational techniques to reset your nervous system, calm anxiety, and cultivate resilience—without complicated protocols or lengthy practices.

What You’ll Learn in This Workshop:

🔹 The science behind why you feel stuck in stress, anxiety, or disconnection

🔹 How to break free from the endless analysis loop in your mind

🔹 Why pushing through stress doesn’t work—and what actually does

🔹 Simple, effective techniques to shift your body from stress to safety

🔹 Practical somatic & mindfulness practices you can use anytime, anywhere

🔹 How movement, posture, and sensations shape your emotional state

This session combines cutting-edge insights from Western psychology (including the work of Dr. Stephen Porges, Dr. Peter Levine, and Dr. Gabor Maté) with the wisdom of Eastern traditions (Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta philosophy)

Meet Your Guide: Virginia Golding

With over 25 years of experience in psychotherapy, I’ve worked with adults and young people facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic illness. My background spans the foster care, homelessness, early childhood, and domestic violence sectors, giving me a deep understanding of how stress impacts every aspect of life.

My journey also led me to undertake degrees in eastern and western philosophy and psychology 30 years ago at university, and a little later began studying Advaita Vedanta and Tibetan Buddhism in Melbourne and in India under the guidance of the late Traleg Rinpoche and my current teacher Yangten Rinpoche. My work integrates the wisdom of eastern and western traditions incorporating the latest research from experts like Pat Ogden, Peter Levine, Van der Kolk and Gabor Maté.

Through this unique blend of science and wisdom traditions, I hope to help people heal at the nervous system level, so they can experience more ease, joy, and resilience in their daily lives.
