Our Journey
Hi, my name is Kalee Gracse (sounds like grace) and my sister Anita Kress and I are the founders of the The Stress Release Project, the Ease Stress Relief App, and our unique Stress Relief Method.
The thing that makes our work so uniquely powerful is our proprietary Stress Relief Method. Anita and I created this method to overcome the obstacles created by the negative experiences of our childhood. Here’s the story of how it came to be.
Anita and I both experienced severe abuse and neglect growing up. Luckily, we had each other and a strong loving bond that helped carry us through those hard times and the many more that followed.

As you probably know, adverse childhood experiences don’t just disappear, they deliver long-term impacts that can last a lifetime.
As Anita and I both struggled to overcome those impacts, we began to see that those negative experiences in childhood were directly related to the problems we were having as adults.
Although Anita and I each experienced different types of problems, together our issues affected just about every area of life. We had trouble being seen, getting heard, or being recognized. We would either end up being taken advantage of or have little tolerance for other people. We had addictions to food, cigarettes, recreational drugs, and alcohol.
All of these things made it difficult to have healthy loving relationships, enjoy our jobs, fit in with healthy social groups, and fulfill our dream to help others to build lives they loved.
As we gained knowledge from the many healing methods we tried, one thing became perfectly clear. Every one of our issues was directly linked to stress responses from our past negative experiences.
Every problem could be traced to our past negative experiences, and since we were simply and thoroughly beyond tired of our past interfering with our life, we became determined to find a way out of this debilitating cycle.
Although many of the other methods we learned and used were helpful, none of them gave us the result we wanted and believed possible, so we began to develop what has become our proprietary Ease Stress Relief Method.
In the beginning, we spent years refining and using this method to heal ourselves, then Anita started to incorporated it into her coaching practice, successfully using it to help her private clients for the last 20+ years.
So we developed The Stress Release Project and the Ease Stress Relief App to offer affordable solutions to help others rid themselves of the issues that keep them from achieving what they want in life.
With warmest wishes for your beautiful future,
Kalee & Anita
