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.

Discover the 3 secrets to peace and wellbeing

Secret #1

You can uncover natural ways to feel safe and calm without medications, the latest supplement trend, or constant doctor visits.

Secret #2

You can reclaim the innate tool you’ve been using effortlessly since birth and pass it on to your children, enabling them to manage stress, build resilience, and avoid harmful paths in the future.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Wondering how the service works? 

Dive into our FAQ for more details

Why should I learn how to breathe well?We breathe over 20,000 times a day, but most of us breathe inefficiently and in a way that increases stress.  

Here are a few more reasons why breathing is the lowest-hanging fruit of physical, mental, and emotional health.

• The link between the mind and body can be the catalyst for your emotional state

• Poor breathing habits magnify over a lifetime, affecting health and happiness. Many people are unaware that they are stuck in stressed breathing habits for weeks, months, or even years

• Anyone can learn it
• It is accessible
• It is drug free
• It is accessible anytime and anywhere
• It strengthens the immune system
• It stimulates movement & circulation

Benefits of breathing well?

• Improves the digestive system
• Enhances lung function (better gas exchange)
• Increases muscle performance
• Reduces neck and shoulder pain
• Improves heart health
• Lower stress levels
• Decreases blood pressure
• Regulates the nervous system

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?My combined passion for teaching and breathwork will give you the best experience and expertise to get your body to breathe well again. As a mother, I see the need for new tools to manage stress and pass these essential skills down to our children. I invite you to join me on a transformative experience that is practical, fun, and effective!

Your commitment to daily exercises and staying mindful throughout the day will play a significant role in the outcome.
