Health and Wellness

Encouraging whole- person wellness mind, body, soul, and academics.

Stress is a part of our daily lives. Our ability to successfully manage it has significant impact on various aspects of our lives including our academic performance and work productivity.

Our aim is to provide resources that help enhance the stress response’s ability to balance, thereby encouraging whole-person wellness.

Cognitive Wellness Resources

What is it?

Cognitive Wellness Resources help keep our brains healthy and sharp. These can include tools like BrainTap®, a device that uses light and sound to help you relax and focus, and a Photobiomodulation helmet that uses NeurOptimal®, a special training program for the brain that helps the brain to self-regulate and tune forks or other frequency resources that use sound to improve your well-being. These resources also help calm the nervous system and bring us back into a peaceful emotional state. Using these can promote better thinking, aid in memorization, and make you feel calmer in your daily life.
