CASE STUDY

Meet Rachel

She was having a stressful year and found relief through the power of her breath.

"I see a lot of people trying to cope with mental health by just pushing through. They think 'I need to just hunker down and be strong.' I have some difficult things going on. But last night [after the session], I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I feel like I'm myself again!' And I haven't felt like that in so long. You can’t put a price on that. It’s immeasurable."

“The breathing techniques helped me forget about everything else. I’ve never felt more confident and calm at the same time—able to hold my emotions in an open space.” - Levi

““This has helped me dramatically by improving my focus, helping me relax when I do have downtime, and giving me an overall greater sense of well-being.” - Mark

“This isn’t just about coping. It’s about having tools for life—tools that teach compassion, resilience, and the ability to handle challenges.” - Ariana

“Before I was very anxious and confused, feeling like I was being pulled in all different directions. Now I feel stable, grounded, and I know that no matter what happens, everything is going to be okay.” - Petra
