About me
Hi, I’m Dr. Alexis Kennedy. I can’t wait to help you recharge and achieve a more balanced life.
After 30 years of working with human trafficking victims, I was burning out and that emotional exhaustion was leaking into my home life as well. Working with some of the most abused children, I felt guilty that I was feeling sorry for myself. I threw myself into learning about the biology of stress and how it hijacks our thoughts and feelings. Once I learned more about it, I wanted to share it with as many people as I could.
Bounce back from stress.
Ā
If you understand the science of stress, you can learn to discharge that stress. You can teach your body to turn off the stress response.
How I can helpĀ
In addition to being a trauma researcher with a PhD in Psychology, I am a former attorney who is passionate about staying up to date on the latest science on the effects of stress on the body and mind.Ā
Some of my most recent certifications include:
- Certificate in Resiliency Strategies for First Responders (Langara College, Health and Human Services)
- Certified trainer on compassion fatigue & vicarious trauma (www.tendacademy.ca )
- Certificate in Mental Health Providersā€™ SyNAPSE Integrative Approach to Personal Wellness Training (with Dr. Joan Borysenko)
- Certificate in Trauma Recovery Yoga
- Certificate for the Professional Course in Positive Neuroplasticity with Dr. Rick Hanson
I did not learn about self-care and burnout in my prior professional degrees so I want to bring this information to as many people as possible. Burnout is reversible and it is possible to overcome overwhelm!
