Healing Hearts, Rebuilding Strength: Stroke Recovery and Emotional Wellness for Women
Since Covid-19, women’s risk for stroke has risen sharply.
Learn how emotional healing and holistic support can guide recovery—mind, body, and soul.
The Full Story
In the years since Covid-19 reshaped our world, new patterns of health and healing have emerged—especially for women.
One of the most urgent concerns is the rising rate of strokes, often overlooked or misunderstood in the context of emotional and mental health.
At Hypnosis Haven, we believe that true recovery isn't just about physical therapy or medical milestones.
It’s about rebuilding trust in your body, finding emotional stability, and nurturing resilience from the inside out.
This guide explores how emotional healing, self-care, and holistic support—including hypnosis—can play a vital role in the journey forward.
🔹 Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases (2022):
Reported an increase in ischemic strokes among women, particularly younger and middle-aged women, during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Covid-related clotting issues combined with stress, delayed care, and hormonal factors were noted as major risks.

​🔹 American Heart Association (2021–2023 Reports):
Confirmed that women were disproportionately affected during Covid, particularly in access to timely stroke treatment.
Emotional and psychological stress, along with caregiving burdens, led to higher risk factors (high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes) being unmanaged during the pandemic.
