Beat Stress Using Neuroscience and Mindfulness Skills

Stress is not just a feeling. It affects the brain, the nervous system, the immune system, energy levels, and the ability to focus, regulate, and function in daily life. This is especially true for people navigating chronic illness or neurodivergence, where stress can compound existing challenges in ways that standard coping tools often miss.

This course teaches you what is actually happening in your body when you are under stress — the biology, the brain science, and the reason certain skills work when others don't. Understanding the why is part of what makes the learning last.

You will walk away with practical, neuroscience-based regulation tools you can use in everyday life — not just in calm moments, but in the real ones.

    Meet the Instructor

    Hi! I’m Dr. Monica Blied, PhD, she/her, founder of the Faces of Health app and online mental health-building courses. I combine my expertise as a clinical psychologist and neuroscience practitioner with my everyday experiences living with chronic illnesses and neurodivergence, to design tools that help people learn to live fuller lives.

    At Faces of Health, we believe that stress management is a key pathway to achieve optimal physical and mental health. Therefore, my team and I put our expertise & experiences to work and engage our communities to help solve problems caused by chronic stress for ourselves and for others.

    “Thank you so much for the opportunity to take your class. I was genuinely surprised that I would enjoy the training and be pulled in… most the time trainings are so mundane and the material is something I typically know. Even though a lot of the material I am familiar with, I was still excited, pulled in and much more based on the way you engage and presented it. I love your humor and I think you provided a lot of skills that people can use themselves and/or with clients. I believe your training is invaluable & will be so helpful for all people.”

    “The online course is well worth the investment! Dr. Blied expertly breaks down complex concepts in a way that anyone can understand. She gives you strategies that are easy to implement and that are evidence-based. Highly recommend!”

    “This masterclass is is beyond informative and reassuring to watch. It provides so much information from how gut health impacts our brain to ways we can calm our nervous system (like using the progressive muscle relaxation techniques). Dr. Blied provides context on each subject she brings up, and for each problem we may face she explores a solution. This masterclass encourages watchers to realize what their body is telling them; by taking this course, one is able to watch for signals in real life scenarios. I am beyond happy that I went through this masterclass….I have learned more about my mind, health, gut health and ways to prioritize my mental health.”

     "I am very passionate about our students who may be struggling in school because of messages they internalized about not being good enough — when actually they were undiagnosed or underdiagnosed with ADHD or autism, without being given any way to move  forward that might be accessible for them. What I appreciate about the modules in particular is both the psychoeducation and the strength-based approach, where students can work with their strengths instead of the lifelong challenge of trying to make themselves operate in a way that doesn't naturally fit. Especially for our BIPOC students, the messaging there — connected to social and community messaging — really matters. The other piece, relating back to our BIPOC students, is also that it's coming from you. They're getting to see someone who is not who they imagine as the person leading this.
    Your shared lived experience, seeing that you're sharing professionally and from lived experience — for a lot of our students who have academic and career goals, that was an additional strength for them. I would describe Faces of Health as user-friendly, well-informed, research-backed content aligned with very practical strategies and tools that are strength-based, and that highlight to the user how they are able to do things and use the strengths they already hold in ways that would be helpful for them. I would not say there is a resource out there that we have found to be comparable."
