What People Are Saying About This Course

“For over ten years I have been utilizing breath exercises in my psychiatric practice as a powerful compliment to any type of therapy my patients are receiving. The Breath-Body-Mind techniques are particularly effective at reducing the type of nervous system stress those with trauma histories and PTSD suffer from. I've seen many patients experience immediate improvements in their anxiety levels and sense of calm from this outstanding program.

Anonymous

“. In a video clip, I saw how this breathing technique had helped war veterans, civilians whose lives had been torn apart by wars, people in poverty stricken villages, and inner city teens labeled as violent and high risk. After a weekend course led by Dr. Richard Brown (a true hero!), I saw how the technique could be effective. Since taking the workshop I have been a happier, more focused, less depressed, less anxious, and calmer individual. I have cut two of the four medications out of my life, and I am lowering the dosages on the others. I attribute this to the gift of breath work that I now happily incorporate into my daily routine.
