How attendees describe this talk

Thank you for your session. I feel like I’ve been stuck in fight or flight for years and have been doing meditation to help and have found it very helpful. To hear the background of the stress cycle was so helpful in understanding what and why this happens.

An overall awesome approach to basic stress management with accessible usable realistic tools.

This session approached ways to deal with mental health in a very tactical and realistic way.

Focusing on basic, actionable items that are relevant to all of us!

Very enlightening and informative for ways to reduce stress

It reminds you and expands on already known strategies for relaxation and mindfulness. Has worksheets that are helpful. Deep breathing with inhale exhale gif during presentation was good.

Helpful with the amount of stress everyone endures and strategies for sleep

Easy to digest and listen to. Comfortable. Accessible.

Discussion about how to deal with stress.


Feedback for Aileen and the event

This presentation was very timely for those of us affected by IGAN. I enjoyed this presentation and will employ these tools.

Soothing tone to her voice. Loved it

Great topic for SPARK 2023!

Given this was in the morning it might be helpful to “up regulate” the audience by doing a movement activity at the beginning. There could have been more opportunities for interactions either as a full group or within the table. The worksheet is great and sharing the PowerPoint. The content is good but the energy of Aileen when presenting it could be a bit bigger and engaging. Sharing Aileen’s story about her new baby and mother’s experience was very nice and appreciated. Thanks for being vunerable and finding a way to connect with the patients.

Perhaps an opportunity to pause between sections. Aileen has a nice soothing voice and without pauses it may feel a little too soothing!

Great session but please provide pens next time

Awesome job!

Thank you!

Great job!
