iRest for Healthcare Workers
If you work in a high-pressure healthcare environment, iRest can help you deeply relax, sleep better, and become more resilient and focused every day.
Why iRest?
iRest is a simple 10-step protocol that is easy to learn and can be practiced anytime, anywhere. Its positive effects are supported by scientific trials, and many health providers share the steps of iRest with patients or clients who are experiencing chronic pain, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, PTSD, and other conditions.
iRest can be practiced in short sessions of 10 or 20 minutes, to induce deep relaxation and leave you feeling refreshed and alert. It can also be used before bed, to ease your body and mind into restful sleep, even if your work shifts or you are sleep deprived.
As an evidence-informed meditation protocol, iRest is being used at US Veterans Affairs hospitals, military bases, hospitals and clinics, hospices, homeless shelters, community programs and schools.
Please note: many of our events (especially Trainings) offer professional Continuing Education (CE) credits.
