Eileen
For over two decades, Eileen has been helping people stress less within our community. More than twelve years ago, she opened Beverly Hypnosis and Wellness Center. Since then, she has been helping people overcome their challenges, feel better, and achieve their goals.
Seven years ago, Eileen's passion for stress management took a new form with the founding of the SRT Project, a stress management training initiative designed specifically for first responders. The project was born out of a transformative private session with an exhausted and anxious police officer who had received no stress management training. This encounter inspired Eileen to develop a comprehensive program that incorporates techniques such as mindfulness, resilience building, and stress reduction. Since then, the SRT Project has been instrumental in helping hundreds of first responders effectively manage their stress and improve their mental health.
