I have been offering classes and sessions to individuals, couples,
and small groups since 1986. The following testimonials are representative of comments clients have made
over the years.
"I enjoy and have been using the breathing techniques with success. In fact, I
find myself doing them without any sense of anxiety or stress, even while treating a patient. You certainly have been a great
teacher for me." -- Dr. E.K., Annapolis, MD
"I have adopted some of the breathing and relaxation techniques you taught me and
they are truly working. I am able to reduce my feelings of stress promptly when necessary, and my blood pressure has returned
to normal. I will continue to apply your teachings. Thanks." -- Dr. T.R., New York, NY
"I use the belly breathing you taught me all the time. I am a cerebral person and the breathwork puts me in a state of
body consciousness, which is exactly what I need to get 'out of my head' for a while. I like being able to feel the additional
oxygen circulating through my body. This is both relaxing and rejuvenating. Also, the abdominal breathing stops the physical
reactions that occur when I become anxious or stressed. It brings me back to the present so that I can make clear decisions
instead of just having emotional reactions." -- S.C., Chicago
"I feel like I can breathe for the first time. I feel lighter and more open. It's incredible, even my eyesight is better."
"I watched a movie on the airplane coming to London, and because of the material in the movie had a real anxiety attack.
I normally do not get those, but with the breathing techniques was able to calm myself down." -- R.A.L., CO
"I want to thank you for helping me work through this surgery that I had on my leg. It was successful and I feel quite
relaxed about it. Thank you." -- C.S., South Carolina
"I feel incredibly relaxed, clear-headed, and energized. The session was great, almost like a drug."
-- C.E., Tuscon, AZ
In addition to these testimonials, a number of
my clients have seen a dramatic lowering of their high blood pressure. For example, an elderly woman with acute renal
failure, with whom I work by phone, also has severe chemical sensitivity. She writes:
“When I am around fragrances (such as in the waiting
room of a doctor's office), my blood pressure has soared many times to 215/104 and higher . . . at best it has been around
170/99 under such circumstances. The lowest it has ever gotten in a doctor's office -- with only a minimal of fragrance exposure
about 20 minutes before the blood pressure reading was taken -- was 132/80. There was much rejoicing in that office that day!
Most often, I find I run in the 130's over 80's or 140's over low 90's. However, by using your breathing technique I have
been able to get it down into the 120s, and even as low as 116/67, but only at home and when I'm thoroughly relaxed. ” --
B.W., Oakland, CA
Another elderly client with chronic hypertension that runs in her family, reduced her blood pressure
after a Relax & Breathe session from 152/90 to 126/68.
I can work with you no matter where you are.
All sessions are by phone unless otherwise arranged for local Tucson residents.
