Written by Denver 911 Health & Wellness Coordinator, Jessica Tresch:

“After an incredible success early this year, Director Dameron has invited first responder sleep specialist Jacqueline Toomey back for more! Jacqueline and husband (Denver Firefighter) Sean Toomey founded AXS Wellness together to help tackle the first responder sleep epidemic. This is an internationally taught program specifically designed for us!

Jacqueline uses trauma informed, science backed research from Harvard University, famous sleep scientist Dr. Matthew Walker, and the thousands year old practice of yoga nidra. Don't be concerned when you hear "yoga", this is very accessible to all levels of skill and preference. Jacqueline is very adept at ensuring your comfort throughout the class.  

This class was born from the desire to train first responders how to rest and recover, even when sleep isn't possible. They won't tell you to go to bed at the same time every night, because they know that's not how our lives work! They WILL tell you how to make realistic, effective, and easy changes to make the sleep you do get much more restful. This is open to all employees.”
