But imagine if you could reclaim some calm without the shadow of a 'to-do' list.

What would that look like for you?

Check out my tips for restoring equanimity and supporting presence in the Alliance Almanac.

Or come to my session at the Alliance Annual Conference next week on evidence-based and emerging breath- and body-centered techniques designed to regulate reactivity, restore balance, and create connection.
