the art of stresslessness

Set within tranquil, subtropical gardens, Cumberland Resort and Spa is the premier stress free boutique accommodation resort in the South Pacific and Norfolk Island. Why stress free? Because we realized that with today’s hectic lives, people around the world have a growing need for inner peace. So we created a holiday sanctuary designed especially for rest, relaxation and tranquillity. So begin your journey to complete relaxation.

Everything at Cumberland was enhanced with this thought in mind.

Stress Management Sessions

The Stress management sessions will focus on how stress affects us in our personal and professional life, and teaches effective stress management techniques and self-care.

Through practical self-tests, clients will assess what causes them stress, how to recognize the psychological and physiological signs of stress, their competency in managing stress, and whether their personality type is prone to stress.

The sessions will also focus on identifying sources of work-related stress, ways of coping with stress on the job and reducing environmental stress, as well as looking at stress within relationships.

In addition to practical information and self-assessments, the use of cognitive-behavioral stress management techniques, visualization and relaxation exercises will be explored as effective stress and anxiety reducing techniques.

All sessions on Norfolk Island are conducted by one of the directors, a recognised specialist in stress management.
