5 Ways to Naturally Relieve Anxiety in San Antonio

Veterans Support & Mental Health Care

Find your calm in the heart of Alamo City

In today’s fast-paced world, anxiety is an increasingly common struggle that can feel overwhelming. If you’re experiencing anxiety, the good news is:

  1. You’re not alone. The National Institute of Mental Health estimates over 30% of U.S. adults experience an anxiety disorder in their lifetime. 
  2. Anxiety management doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. 

At the Endeavors Wellness Center in San Antonio, we’ve brought a powerhouse lineup of natural wellness services under one roof to make building wellness into your life easier than ever. Led by our Endeavors team and our on-site wellness partners, every service is provided by trained and certified experts who support your journey toward a calmer, more balanced life.

1. Fitness Classes

Exercise is a powerful tool in the fight against anxiety. Physical activity releases endorphins, the body’s natural mood lifters, which can significantly reduce anxiety and improve overall mental health. The Anxiety and Depression Association of America reports that “one vigorous exercise session can help alleviate symptoms for hours, and a regular schedule may significantly reduce them over time.”

At the Endeavors Wellness Center, our fitness classes are designed to suit all levels and interests, from high-energy cardio workouts to more gentle forms of exercise like yoga and functional training. Classes like Everyday Warrior, Zumba, and BoomMind not only help manage anxiety but also build community. (Because, let’s face it, making new friends as an adult is hard!) The camaraderie and support found in group exercise settings can boost your motivation and make your workouts the best part of your day!

2. Meditation Classes

Meditation is a time-honored practice that has been proven to reduce anxiety and promote emotional health. Our meditation classes teach you to master techniques like mindfulness and deep breathing that will help you calm your mind, reduce stress, and improve focus.

3. Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. How does Reiki work? This gentle, non-invasive therapy “helps to restore the flow of [the body’s] energy by rebalancing the body’s energy centers, which can help to promote healing and well-being.” 

Reiki sessions are always conducted by our licensed Reiki Master, ensuring you are in the best hands possible. Literally.

4. Acupuncture

Acupuncture, an ancient Chinese medicine practice, involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to balance the body’s energy flow, or Qi. As acupuncturist Mathew Kulas, MA, RAc, explains, “acupuncture stimulates the body’s natural feel-good hormones and reduces the level of stress hormones like cortisol.”

At the Endeavors Wellness Center, the licensed acupuncturists of Alamo Acupuncture provide treatments for anxiety and its physical manifestations, such as tension headaches, insomnia, and digestive issues. The team at Alamo Acupuncture tailors each session to your individual needs because your anxiety is personal to you, and your anxiety treatment should be, too.

5. Alpha-Stim Electrotherapy

If you haven’t been to the Wellness Room at the Endeavors Wellness Center yet, you are missing out. The Wellness Room is a curated space where you can sink into private, personalized relaxation and rejuvenation. 

Choose from sound therapy, Pandora Star Deep Trance Meditation, and Alpha-Stim electrotherapy – a cutting-edge treatment that uses cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) to reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia. The non-invasive, pain-free device sends small, pulsed electrical currents to the brain, which can help modulate the brain’s electrical activity and promote a state of relaxation.

Many users of Alpha-Stim report significant reductions in anxiety after just a few sessions. This drug-free treatment is an excellent option for those seeking an alternative to traditional anxiety medications. Perhaps one recent client described it best: “It was like a massage for my mind! I felt like I was able to slow down, breathe, and really let my mind and body take a break. I’m looking forward to adding this to my monthly ‘me time’.”
