Highly Sensitive (Live-Online)

High sensitivity brings many wonderful strengths and can also lead to overwhelm, overstimulation, anxiety and other challenges.

This program will explore practical strategies for navigating both the challenges and gifts of high sensitivity.

Please note that, per Express Guidelines, the portion of the program cost for the 60-minute 1-on-1 coaching session is ineligible and will be the responsibility of the business to pay out-of-pocket. The total program fee, including all components listed above, is $850, with $750 in eligible program costs per Express Guidelines.
