The Relaxation Lounge

Finally. A Place to Exhale

Quick stress relief for busy women who are tired of running on empty.

Free. Practical. No hour-long programs.

Does this sound like you?

You are exhausted, overwhelmed, and running on fumes — and you cannot remember the last time you felt truly relaxed.
You snap at the people you love most because your nervous system is maxed out and you have nothing left to give.
You know you need to slow down, but you have no idea where to start — or when you would even find the time.

If you said yes, you are in the right place...

Hi, I'm Denise.

My doctor looked me in the eye one day and said, “Denise, you’d better slow down or else.”

I was a successful conference manager who wore burnout like a badge of honor. I was always on, always behind, and always giving everything to everyone else. Then my body said enough. My health suffered. My relationships suffered.

So I went looking for answers.

What I found changed everything. EFT tapping, breathwork, meditation, and simple nervous system tools helped me feel calm again. And I couldn’t keep it to myself.

I’m a certified EFT practitioner, life coach, and hypnotherapist. I host the Calm Your Daily Stress podcast, which ranks in the top 3% of podcasts worldwide. And I created The Relaxation Lounge for busy women like you, and like the old me, who need real relief without the fluff.

You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Denise

Calm Your Daily Stress Podcast

Every week I share simple ways to ease stress, along with guests who know the topic well. Think of it as a calm conversation with a friend who wants you to feel better.

When was the last time you blinked on purpose? If you spend your days on screens running your business, your eyes may be working overtime, and it could be adding to your stress without you even knowing it. In this episode, Dr. Pam Theriot shares simple, doable ways to rest your eyes, protect your energy, and feel calmer and clearer all day.

Dr. Pam Theriot is an optometrist who is committed to helping you understand why a yearly visit to the eye doctor is more important than brushing your teeth.

In this episode:

Pam shares why tired eyes can make your stress feel even bigger. When your eyes ache and your vision gets blurry, your whole day feels harder.
She explains why we blink so much less when we look at screens. She says we blink about 21 times a minute while chatting with a friend, but only about 7 on a computer and 5 on a phone. Wow!
She talks about how doom scrolling keeps your eyes wide open and your body in stress mode, and what that does to your eyes over time.
Pam shares three easy workspace fixes. Move your screen as far away as you can while still seeing it clearly, wear glasses made for screen distance, and take little breaks.
She explains her simple break trick. Stand up, sip some water, look across the room, and do five good, hard blinks to refresh your eyes.
She talks about reading glasses and why the style and fit really matter. The wrong pair can cause even more eye strain.
Pam shares three kind habits for your eyes. Blink more, take off your eye makeup every single night, and gently clean your lids and lashes.
She explains what to do about itchy eyelids, which can be a sign of tiny lash mites that tend to grow in number as we get older. There is a prescription eye drop that can help, so ask your eye doctor.
She shares quick Zoom tips, like putting your light above you and not behind you. She also explains why you should schedule an eye exam if it has been a while, and she offers a free workspace guide at www.pamtheriot.com/tedx
