Description

Helping our patients with their pain, sleep and mental health issues continues to be one of the biggest opportunities for healthcare providers today. Our current healthcare system is struggling to address the very essence of what it means to be human; we are unique and how we care for each other requires a ‘whole person’ approach to health. Breathing as Medicine has been practiced since the dawn of time. Join us as we explore breathing routines for pain, improved sleep, and stress management. By helping your patients and clients achieve more harmony in their lives; you just may find more in yours.
