What if effective self-care only took a minute? What if a caregiver could feel better in a short time with a minimal yet powerful set of exercises they could do at work, with no special equipment or clothing necessary? The answer, TAKE A MINUTE® SELF-CARE, created and developed by Zuleikha, Founder/Director of The Storydancer Project
2025 INDIA
Zuleikha/The Storydancer Project in partnership with CanSupport/India offered Kailish Institute of Nursing and Para-Medical Science, sessions for hundreds of nursing students in TAKE A MINUTE® Care for The Caregiver. Zuleikha took their students on exploration into movement and self-care exercise, resulting in their eager participation with great enthusiasm. Their relief from stress and contagious laughter from the sessions was jubilant.
2025 – US
TAKE A MINUTE® Care for the Caregiver offers a new way nurses and health care professionals can deal with burnout – physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion accompanied by cynicism and disengagement. Many health care professionals postpone or neglect self-care because they cannot imagine adding more hours onto their already overwhelming day to exercise, release accumulated tension, and rejuvenate. The 2025 sessions were led by Cynda Rushton, Professor of Clinical Ethics in partnership with Zuleikha, Founder/Director of The Storydancer Project, under the MEPRA program…where nurses were invited to experience the TAKE A MINUTE® Self-Care that was easy-to-learn, fun, and effective.
