Testimonial from a masters student who attended 10 of my classes over a period of 5 months (1).  

“I have been utilizing the CS’s (2) breathing techniques for two months now.

I have seen a significant decrease in my stress level (3).

One of my goals was to be able to speak in front of my class as a graduate student. Last week I was up in front of my class for nearly an hour; I was poised, confident, and I enjoyed it.

Every time I am feeling a little overwhelmed, I start to count my breaths and it helps me get centered again (4). I recommend these techniques to anyone because they work.”
