Personalized plans to reduce stress, anxiety, improve sleep quality and alleviate other health concerns so you can get back to being the best version of yourself.

Creating a plan that works for you

Blending my experience as a seasoned clinical pharmacist with breathwork certifications from Butyeko and PeakFlow, I’ll guide you in creating a personalized breathing plan that targets your specific health needs and support you in integrating this into your daily life.

If you use medications for chronic medical problems such as high blood pressure, asthma, anxiety or insomnia, I will work closely with you and your physician with the goal of reducing your medication burden as we get you breathing more functionally and improve your quality of life.

If you aren’t on any medications for chronic health concerns, we will focus on preventative breathing techniques to avoid potential need for medication use in the future.
