As a licensed clinical professional counselor I have helped hundreds of people see themselves more clearly, develop healthy coping skills and make changes to their lives for the better.

Yet too often ‘talk therapy’ by itself is not enough. For people living with anxiety or the effects of trauma, talking is just the tip of the iceberg. For true balance to be restored, their somatic symptoms must be addressed. The Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy teacher training has helped me take a broader look at my work with clients.

This program is different from others. The Breathing Deeply Yoga Therapy program dives into the deeper parts of what it is to be human. It offers a model that explores all the koshas.

This training has given me a deeper understanding of what my clients are going through, and the movement they might need to move forward to more healthy, balanced lives. Where other programs focused on the clinical, Breathing Deeply accounts for a more balanced consideration of mental and physical health.

It has given me fresh eyes, no longer only looking through the mental health lens I was originally trained with. I now also incorporate the lens of yoga in the work I do with clients.

We all get to that point when we need an infusion of new learning and fresh inspiration. For me, I found it in Breathing Deeply.
