About us & our new & revolutionary way to deal with stress
Stress relief and stress resilience is a LOT of FUN
Life’s too short to let burnout wreck it
Burnout has become a national health epidemic, damaging our physical, mental, and emotional health. This crisis negatively affects how we work, sleep, love, and show up for ourselves and others. The damage is real: exhausted bodies, scattered brains, and emotions we’ve learned to ignore.

How we actually help you – 3 Basic Steps
Believe it or not, some people actually stress over how to not stress so much. That’s why we’re making it super simple, easy and fun.
1. We unpack what has accumulated in you from stress of the past, so you can move forward without carrying so much weight.
2. We look at what is stressing you now and work to get a grip on that. We look at what stressors can be removed or reduced, and what can be done about stressors we can’t get rid of right now, and how to reduce their impact.
3. Build strengths and resilience so we are better equipped to deal with what comes at us in the future, so it doesn’t sink us. You’ll leave equipped with actual tools, practices, and mental frameworks so that when life gets chaotic again (and it will), you don’t spiral – you respond from a place of strength.
Modalities

A few words about our founder, coach and guide
Joshua Tree Stress Escapes was founded by Sabina Clemens, an experienced, grounded, wise, and inspired guide.
“The most important qualification for any guide, coach, or teacher is walking the walk”
Sabina embodies those words. She’s the real deal —she’s not just talking about stress relief, she’s actually living it. For 40 years, she’s been on her own healing journey and has dedicated her life to helping others find their way.
She’s studied under actual visionaries, trained in neuroscience-backed resilience practices, completed intensive meditation and contemplative programs, and developed deep expertise in trauma-informed coaching.
But here’s what actually matters: she walks the walk. She’s integrated creative healing, energy work, active listening, and a lifetime of hard-won wisdom into her methodologies. She doesn’t just teach you theory—she models what it actually looks like to live grounded, present, and free from the stuff that holds you back.
Experience Highlights
Marcia Earlenbaugh’s You Who Inc. – Weekly intensive coaching for over 20 years:
Marcia was truly ahead of her time, a total visionary, wise and intuitive with a life-changing approach. She taught, modeled and empowered people to be their true self, how to remove what blocks you from living your fullest life, to live unencumbered by constraints of society and past trauma, how to not be defined only by the hardships or stressors life brings, but to live fully grounded in the present moment and to find and create positive experiences and weave them into life to bring strength, resilience, balance and peace to chaos and generate fulfillment and lasting and true happiness.
