Dr. Patel speaking at retreat for mothers of children with disabilities

Family Network on Disabilities of Manatee/Sarasota, in partnership with Pave the Way Consulting, LLC is launching a project called Moms Away!™ . The purpose of the project is to offer mothers of children with disabilities tools to help them reduce stress, balance their hectic lives and set aside time to focus on their own needs and wellness. Participants will have the opportunity to totally escape their responsibilities for 24 hours in a stress free environment. The first day of the retreat will begin with a keynote presentation by Elaine M Lundberg, MA, a Humor therapist. Each participant will then have the opportunity to design their own vision board with the guidance of Dr.Vidisha Patel, a Stress Management Therapist. A spa treatment is included in the afternoon, followed by dinner and an evening session, which will include yoga and meditation. The next morning will begin with another session of yoga and meditation, brunch and a presentation by Dr. Patel on how to balance a very busy life.
