I think that the importance of focusing on our breath has been lost in our culture today.  I will speak for myself, but I am often running around, prioritizing, multitasking, racing from one place to another, and being “productive”, while either being trapped in the past or fearful of the future, and then it dawns on me...what about my breath?  How am I breathing?  What about this moment, right now?  It’s then that I CHOOSE to slow down, focus on my breathing, and some semblance of balance and harmony return to my day.  This happens over and over again throughout the days, weeks, months, years, and my life.

​

The breath, which can only occur one at a time, is what connects our mind and body.  If we choose to slow down and focus on it, incredible things can occur and we can begin to heal, whether that be from addiction, complex trauma, negative self-talk and judgement, physical ailments, etc.  The list goes on, ad-infinitum.  Here, I offer a space to begin to talk about and focus on these issues, with a priority on slowing things down, staying in the present moment, and breathing.  Sure, talking is important, but I like to focus on action.  What steps can you take so that you too can lead a healthier, happier, more purposeful, and connected life with a greater sense of peace and contentment?  In my approach with clients, I focus on action, which leads to change…the changes that you want for yourself.  Feel free to reach out to me at any time to setup an appointment or a free fifteen-minute consultation to discuss more.
