Empower Your Child to Overcome Anxiety and Enhance Focus Through the Power of Breathwork
Discover an easy-to-incorporate framework for busy parents and caregivers to proactively establish healthy habits that will transform your family’s well-being.
Right now...
Are you feeling overwhelmed and stuck as a parent, struggling to support your anxious child effectively?
Does your child's constant struggle with managing their big feelings leave you feeling helpless?
Parenting an anxious child can take a toll on your emotional well-being and strain family harmony. But there is a solution that can bring lasting transformation.
Imagine...
A life where your child feels a sense of calm and confidence, where anxiety no longer holds them back, and where you can navigate the challenges of parenting with ease. With the right mind-body tools, this transformation is within reach.
What you may not know...
The root of the problem lies in your autonomic nervous system. When anxiety strikes, it triggers your body and brain to enter a 'fight or flight' mode. This response signals to your brain and body that you're in a potentially unsafe situation, resulting in an elevated heart rate, quick, shallow breathing, disrupted digestion, tense muscles, and more.
But here's the exciting part: your body comes equipped with a natural switch that can shift you from this 'protective' state to a 'restorative' one. The best news is that you can learn to operate this switch at any time and in any place.

Secret #3
The fastest way to build a calm and peaceful household, reduce tantrums, and support your child’s mental health is to stop reacting and start building this autonomic skill to promote well-being.

I've never done breathwork before. Is this for me?
The good news is that you were born breathing well, so your body knows how to breathe well. We just need to re-learn how to breathe the way the body is designed to breathe.Don't we breathe automatically? Why do I need to be taught how to breathe?
Breathing is both voluntary and involuntary. This means that our habits play a role in how we breathe; without awareness of these habits, our breathing can become inefficient and dysfunctional.If breathing becomes dysfunctional, your health suffers. We are all born with a healthy breathing style, but many of us lose this style and adopt unhealthy and inefficient breathing habits. The goal of breath re-training is to re-learn how to breathe optimally.
I am already so busy, how will I find the time for breathing exercises?
The customized breathing routine will only take 10-15 minutes a day and can be added to your normal exercise routine as a warm-up or cool down.What qualifications do you have for teaching breathwork?
