Holistic Healing

Stress affects all parts of us – Body, Mind, Spirit

These resources address how to be aware what part of you is most affected, and how to heal the damage from chronic stress.

Calm Brain

When taking time to clear the physical, mental and spiritual tensions that stress brings, we calm our brain and slow down the Fight Flight or Freeze response which only leads to more stress.

Stress Relief

By becoming aware of how stress affects us personally, we can put systems into place that will help us to avoid the long term consequences of chronic stress.

I’m Mary

I am passionate about helping you find joy in your life and order in your home in spite of having a not-so-empty nest.

Hi, I’m Mary, the creator of What Empty Nest. I care for an elderly parent, have experienced my adult children moving back home and have done daycare for my grandchildren. Throughout these experiences I have learned much about navigating a not-so-empty nest and the unique stressors it brings.

At What Empty Nest? the conversation revolves around our not-so-empty nests and the situations that make them that way. We talk about stress, self-care, caregiving, adult children living at home, and many other topics that relate to a not-so-empty nest.

Looking for a glass half full?
