About The Stress Institute®: About The Institute
The Stress Institute was established to serve as a center for collection and dissemination of information on the impact of stress on our lives. Comprised of prominent physicians, professionals in a variety of stress related disciplines, and lay individuals we are interested in exploring the various effects of stress on our mental, physical and spiritual well being.

The Stress Institute evolved out of Wellness Solutions at Oak Haven. Wellness Solutions was founded in 1997 by Dr. Hall as a center to learn about the science of mind-body medicine, stress reduction practices and self care. After many years of working with patients and clients Dr. Hall discovered stress was at the root of most of the diseases and conditions that inhibited health and wellness in individuals' lives.

Dr. Hall has been working with individuals, patients and corporations for more than 15 years specifically with stress management and life balance. As the educator and group facilitator of a hospital based cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation and wellness program since 1998, Dr. Hall has become a world renowned expert in stress and work-life balance.

Scientific research reveals the catastrophic effect that stress can have on our mental, physical and spiritual health and well being.

The Stress Institute is not therapy, but rather is an educational facility that gives you a blueprint for a healthy lifestyle. We offer education and experiential training in the areas of stress and work-life balance. We teach individuals how to develop stress hardiness by creating their own stress management plan. We have created strategies and tools for healthier living for both individuals and corporations.

We provide education on how to embrace a healthy lifestyle. Our program scan help prevent and benefit a wide variety of conditions as well as optimizing health and wellness. You can improve the quality of your life by learning how to manage a chronic health problem.

Working with corporations we develop and implement integrative programs for wellness, stress reduction and work-life balance.

We maintain a constantly updated library of information on stress related topics from the Stress Institute's research, scientific and lay publications, as well as from the work of Dr. Kathleen Hall.

The Stress Institute does not provide clinical services nor are we able to respond to requests for assistance with personal problems other than to suggest resources that may be helpful when appropriate.
