    His music, use of essential oils, aromatic plants and guiding cues were apart of a holistic experience that for me personally was much deeper and more profound than I had anticipated.

  • What people are sayin'

    I have tried ice baths before and enjoyed the challenge and the way they made me feel however it always seemed arduous and difficult. The guided breathing techniques you shared were extremely valuable allowing me to keep a point of singular focused awareness and make the experience more of a spiritual practice I looked forward to each day.
