Full day or half day classes
*Group tickets available at checkoutYou Don’t Fix Burnout by doing More Work.
We have the privilege of training with cops and first responders around the county and even though they know they need to take care of themselves, many do not.
Why?
Laziness? Lack of interest?
No, time.
Even when you’re aware that high-functioning depression is nipping at your toes, where do you find the time to fix it and how do you fix it?
If you’ve read about the symptoms of stress but you literally don’t have time to deal with it, this is your chance to nip things in the bud…before your stress MAKES you deal with it.
a well-deserved break
With over 5 years of wellness training under our belts, we have 100% class engagement and raving reviews because our main goal is to help you create wellness goals that are realistic.
Not every wellness technique is for you. And, it doesn’t have to be - you just need to find something that works for you and practice it.
TacMobility combines teaching the neuroscience behind stress management along with guiding our students through recovery techniques such as mobility, physical therapy and breath work that lower symptoms of stress and burnout and increase feelings of energy.
wellness is something you experience
It’s not a boring PowerPoint with case study’s. It’s not an email newsletter with 800 numbers. It’s something you practice.

Class B: 1p-5p - Burnout Recovery For First Responders
-
Many people don’t think about it but, you can burnout doing what you love and especially doing what you hate. Burnout has to do with energy going out of the body and not enough (or equal amounts of) energy coming back into the body. The solution to first responder burnout is to replenish the body through recovery.
-
Neuroscience of Stress: Dive into the science behind fight-or-flight responses, then identify personal burnout levels through peer discussions and worksheets. You’ll leave with a customized energy-recovery plan.
Sustainable Health: Practice lowering heart rate variability for long-term health and recovery.
Practice emotional intelligence by utilizing Robert Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotion to help students identify and categorize their feelings with the assistance of peer observation.
90-Minute Recovery Session: Experience 90 minutes of rehabilitative stretching, nervous system regulation, and deep breathing. Most students in previous courses asked for longer mobility sessions, so we’ve expanded this portion to give you what you need to recover.

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I’m Erica Gaines - the CEO/Founder of TacMobility, author of 8 first responder stress studies, author of 8 training courses, a certified yoga instructor, and Sociology student.
I started my career with law enforcement in 2013, when I worked for a tactical tool company and as time progressed and I developed friendships, I realized that 2 things were missing in the first responder wellness space:
Wellness techniques that you practice
Engaging presentations that make sense to a tough crowd
My goal is to help first responders understand their bodies and help them identify their stress habits. When this happens, change happens.
What makes me an expert is that I’ve been doing wellness training long enough to know that even though you have a department psych that you see yearly and you workout to keep your body in shape, you still have a hard time prioritizing replenishing your energy.
Doing burpees is great but that is not recovery.
Going on a vacation twice a year is great but that is not recovery.
In my world, we identify the risk and we extract it. We don’t waste precious time watching YouTube clips from 2000, we learn the latest neuroscience behind stress and get to work to reverse engineer our goals.
Resiliency training that leaves you feeling motivated and confident to be the best version.
what people are saying about tacmobility
"Our department seems to be ahead of the resiliency game, but, I found portions of the class filling in some of our gaps. Specifically, the guided stretching.”
“I honestly believe if you had some officers on the edge with suicidal tendencies this class would help bring them back.”
“The information, exercises, and stretches were amazing. My body felt more relaxed..”
"Erica is awesome, made me feel normal in the law enforcement field."
