My Story.

In May of 2022. I trying to come out the other side after a particularly difficult bought of post partum depression after having my last child 4 years prior. It had been a very rough year for me mentally and emotionally, and it was almost summertime. Summer had always filled me with anxiety - the endless noise and requests, the task of keeping 5 children entertained at various ages, in addition to maintaining the house and a job and everything else . . . well, let’s just say that I was heading into summer break already feeling completely burned out.

I had the sense that my nervous system was not well. It was like every noise, every stressor, every challenge entered my psyche and felt like it was stuck there. I tried yoga. I tried meditation. I tried medications - oh, how I had tried medications! - and various supplements. I tried talk therapy. When I told my doctor that I needed help with my nervous system, they just wanted to prescribe me an anxiety medication in addition to the anti-depressant that I was already on!

No thank you.

I just knew that if I could somehow purge my nervous system of all of the old “stuff” it was hanging onto, I would feel better. Then, I stumbled upon a 21-day Breathwork Program that promised to regulate the nervous system and give relief to the overwhelm. The change was so quick, it was miraculous. I don’t say that lightly.

At first, I noticed that I was able to look people in the eye more when I talked with them. I found myself wanting to engage more in conversations with both acquaintances and strangers. I was able to enjoy my children! I didn’t feel like I was constantly needing a break from my children. I was enjoying my kids. I laughed more easily. I even applied for a new job closer to home, making better money after working comfortably at the same job for 20 years.

I’ll never forget the time I took the all five of my girls to Target by myself - something I hadn’t done in years (I usually took a couple at a time, but never all of them, because it was too overwhelming), and I felt . . . fine. It felt like the absence of a shadow that had been following me around for so long, that I had just accepted that it would always be there. But yet, it wasn’t!

It truly was the miracle that I had looked for and prayed for for so long. Before the 21 days was up, I had registered to train with a school in a foreign country so that I could learn as much as possible about this gentle, beautiful high-supportive style of breathwork, so that others could find the relief that they needed also.
