About your instructor: Magda Tabac

12 years of corporate experience

Magda has over twelve years’ experience in multinational organisations in Brazil, Romania, the United Kingdom and Germany.

Went through burnout and long periods of stress

In 2017, after experiencing burnout and long periods of chronic stress, Magda decided to quit the corporate environment and build a new career as a trainer, making use of subjects that have always interested her, such as psychology and neuroscience.

She's on a mission 

Magda is now on a mission to help people lead better and more fulfilling lives, through increased self-awareness, better communication, and improved stress management. Magda is a NeuroMindfulness© Master Practitioner and a certified trainer in the Process Communication Model® and Emotional Assertiveness ®.

Understand your stress reactions

We have certain reactions when we are under stress. These can be physical, emotional, mental, and behavioural. We all react differently to stress. By observing and understanding your reactions, you can develop your awareness, ‘catch’ yourself entering into distress, and be better prepared to positively respond and move out of distress.

Build your resilience to stress

Would it be helpful to find a 'recipe' for managing your stress? To take the time to build your resilience so that ‘when the going gets tough, you will be tough enough to get going’? Building resilience takes time, however it is a trainable skill, and it can be achieved with practice. It's easier if you use this stress management training to help you build your resilience!

Habits to help you bounce forward

This course offers a significant number of practices to build resilience. They are based on three separate pillars: Body, Mind and Environment. You get to see which practices work for you and which don't, and you are encouraged to choose some of them and transform them into long-term, stress-busting habits and routines.

What an experience!!! I had the pleasure of attending the 'Neuroscience of Stress' course led by Magda Tabac, and it was truly transformative.  Magda's energy and passion as a trainer were inspiring, and her ability to present complex concepts in a clear, structured, and engaging manner made the experience enjoyable and impactful.  The practical exercises she introduced were not only insightful but have genuinely helped me manage my emotions differently and become more mindful of my thoughts and body.  This course provided me with valuable tools and a deeper understanding of stress, which I’ve already started applying in my daily life.  Highly recommended!

Deep, easy to follow and helpful in everyday life The training brought a lot of value to me. It helped me understand my and my team's reactions to stress and find ideas for managing stress. It was also ideal for raising awareness of how our emotions are happening, the “why” behind specific situations, and how to identify them. For me, it was great to have a self-paced training that allowed me to “digest” the received information and do the assignments. I really recommend it to any person who wants to learn more about stress and how to help others cope with it. The warm voice of Magda and so many real-life examples during the videos brought the magic ingredients for me :) Thank you so much!

Transforming Stress Through Science: A Practical and Empowering Journey with Magda I have thoroughly enjoyed taking this journey of exploring and gaining an in-depth understanding of the neuroscience of stress.  Magda has found a brilliant way to bring science closer using language and real-life examples so it’s effortless to follow, understand and relate. I loved the practical exercises, tools, and resources provided to help manage my emotions and stress going forward.  I highly recommend this to every busy individual, business owner, leader, manager or anyone needing to learn in an easy and very practical way how to improve the quality of life by reducing stress and gaining mental strength.  The course is self-paced and provides you with ample opportunities to really gain knowledge and understanding at your own pace and in your own time.  Thank you, Magda, massive value!

This Course Has Definitely Changed My View on Stress! I took Magda Tabac's Neuroscience of Stress course needing to understand why my brain kicks into overdrive, beyond just coping strategies.  I found her explanations of complex science – like the amygdala's alarm signals or the HPA axis function – clear and directly relevant to my own physical and mental responses.  Finally grasping the biological 'why' was the biggest change for me; it makes stress feel less random and more manageable. I now understand how practical actions, like specific breathing techniques, aren't just abstract but actively target the neural pathways discussed in the course.  If you want that clear, science-backed insight into your own stress without the fluff, I found this course effectively connects that understanding with actionable steps.

Clear and full of real-life examples, which made it easy to understand. Magda’s course helped me finally connect the dots between what I feel under stress and what’s happening in my brain and body. Her way of explaining neuroscience is clear and full of real-life examples, which made it easy to understand. What I liked most about this course are the small tools and techniques you can use on a daily basis and implement while still going through the course. If you want to not just manage stress but truly understand it, this course is the place to start. Thank you Magda, for sharing all this knowledge, definitely worth it!

This online course was inspired by:

The many books I’ve read (and I recommend several of them during the course) My two Applied Neuroscience certifications (with the NeuroMindfulness Institute in France, and The NeuroScience Academy in Australia) Two podcasts on neuroscience that I listen to regularly and strongly recommend: The Huberman Lab, created by Stanford professor Andrew Huberman, and Mind Architect, created by master trainer Paul Olteanu, and his team.  I have invested over 150 hours creating this stress management training, and hundreds (if not thousands) of hours in reading and training myself on this subject.  You will get to experience all this in 'just' five hours of training videos and over three hours of recommended practices.
