A Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) group for women over 50 is forming in April. Sessions will be held at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Monrovia. The fee-based group will be facilitated by Dr. Jean Williams, a therapist with over 30 years’ experience in treating those suffering from stress-related problems and mood disorders. Dr. Williams notes that the program can be especially meaningful for women who have experienced a significant loss or been a caretaker of a loved one with a chronic illness.
“In the past 20 years, hundreds of studies have demonstrated that a brief program of mindfulness meditation can not only reduce stress, but enhance your immune system, relieve anxiety and depression, improve memory and concentration, and even reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke,” she says. “This group is designed to introduce a small group of participants to the basic practice.”
Space is limited. For more information, contact Dr. Williams at wjeanw90@gmail.com to arrange a free interview.
