“A clear challenge in navigating anxiety is knowing what ‘not anxiety’ feels like in your body,” explains Barb Ryan, owner of Wisdom Sister Studio in southwest Edina. “The intensity and persistence of the anxious state eclipses self-connection and calm.”

Wisdom Sister Studio now offers a session to help with exactly that. Barb says, “So many clients lose their sense of true calm in the body because anxiety feels intense.  Anxiety overwhelms the nervous system which impedes this knowing. These sessions help clients achieve, recognize and guide themselves toward a calmer state.”

This new service is hands-on, gentle bodywork often combined with breathwork and visualization. A recent client said through tears, “I had no idea how far from calm I have been living. It’s been years since I have felt this level of relaxation.” Barb also recommends clients use her book, Sacred Self: Simple Tools for Self-Support, to cultivate calm outside of the sessions.
