If you are relaxed, you can’t be anxious and tense. Relaxation is a technical skill anyone can learn.”– Joseph Wolpe, M.D.
WELCOME TO ANXIETY & STRESS CONTROL BY MARYLOU GANTNER
Scientific Relaxation is a trained skill, not counseling or therapy. Leading scientists today report that the chronic tension caused by anxiety and stress is cumulative and leads to physical and emotional symptoms, illness, premature aging and even death. Marylou teaches how to “be relaxed” in the midst of our everyday, busy and often challenging lives. Scientists report that we waste 30-60% of our energy when stressed. By reclaiming this energy, we are renewed with a vitality that allows for greater productivity, creativity and fulfillment in our lives.

Marylou studied with world renowned psychiatrist Joseph Wolpe and completed courses in her field at the University of Florida, Harvard University, the University of Central Florida, and Temple University. With over 40 years in private practice in Central Florida, she has helped thousands of clients regain their well-being. Using biofeedback, Marylou teaches the powerful skills of progressive and differential relaxation and proper breathing. Her approach is personalized to her clients’ needs.

Marylou is the kind of person who can change your life. She surely did mine 20 years ago when she told me that by learning to breathe deeply and relax my muscles I could be relieved of the anxiety sensation that never left me! Marylou cares deeply about her clients and her personalized approach makes all of the difference in the world. With a demanding career, a new baby, many health problems and huge list of responsibilities, the skills she taught me have been a life-line ever since. I strongly recommend Marylou without reservation!
My life changed so quickly and dramatically when I started learning these skills that I wanted everyone to know about them.
I have suffered from anxiety and stress for much of my adult life. Marylou taught me the importance of breathing correctly. I knew that I was a shallow breather and after practicing some deep, belly breathing with her I immediately felt the difference! I continued to practice this every day and the calming effects during my day to day activities are enormous. Recently I was hired for a new job and I know it was thanks to Marylou that I was able to stay calm and confident during the interview.
Marylou, I cannot thank you enough for giving me the inspiration and the tools to keep my life in balance. You have been a major force in my recovery from depression and anxiety. I have learned the importance of simply breathing. I have learned how to incorporate progressive & differential relaxation into my daily life. I will continue my daily practice for the rest of my life!
