School of Gratitude

The School of Gratitude, Orange County, is here to help humanity feel great
Read More
The School of Gratitude, Orange County, is here to help humanity feel great. This intentional mindfulness is scientifically proven, and holistically driven to reduce/eliminate depression, anxiety, screen dependency, codependency, and substance abuse. Stronger than some pharmacological solutions, it releases happy neurotransmitters & hormones including dopamine & serotonin. Unlike other therapies, gratitude looks forward. Yet, if we look back, gratitude re-frames past trauma into gifts of empathy, compassion, & forgiveness. It improves self-esteem, moods, sleep, pro-social behaviors, memory, and joy levels. All classes are multi-sensory, in circle, with storytelling, self-care, and cognitive behavioral tool creation.
A grateful mindset, creates peace, clarity, & well-being, mindfully above the touch of the world. Offering in-person evidenced based classes from Laguna Beach & Irvine. DM Instagram @schoolofgratitudeoc for more information.
