Stayafloat Wellness is now excited to announce the Executive Funk Sessions beginning in 2021! Each week enjoy a podcast with your favorite musical artists or wellness experts as we explore wellness products and complete the SHIP executive function circuit.
People are drowning. Things are tough for many and we need a way to get ourselves out of a funk.
The goal of Stayafloat Wellness is to provide a diy approach to mental health through fun activities for all ages and abilities. By sampling products and practices known to promote thriving, improve communications or increase well being, we want to help you become your best self!
In 2017 the SHIP or Stayafloat Healthy Image Project was launched. Its mission is to discover and promote ways to naturally improve mental health using ancient to contemporary practices.
The following year the concept of executive function circuit training was developed. The basics of executive functions were described in the book You Are Your Captain published in 2019. We also presented at the Johns Hopkins Urban Health Institute 2019 Social Determinants of Health Symposium.
2020 was a difficult year for everyone. We started off the year working with Healing City Baltimore on the Elijah Cummings Healing City Act to identify ways to reduce trauma for children. We had lined up several group sessions beginning in March but due to covid have had to cancel and rethink. The need for inner strength has grown. The concept for group fitness classes has had to adapt to current situations. Musicians and wellness experts have found themselves unable to do what they know and love at a time when we need their healing energy more than ever!
We look forward to getting funky with you!
As a behavioral specialist and personal fitness trainer I have learned that small spurts of targeted activity can have a significant positive effect. Aboard the SHIP you will be directed through a series of executive functions using activities known to stimulate the frontal cortex.
We are all novices on this journey. I do not proclaim to be a therapist or professional in any of the areas we are practicing. The SHIP is our guide.
