At the time, I was stuck in a pattern of disordered breathing that began years before as the result of trauma from almost losing a child. Both my mind and spirit were stuck in a loop of hyper-vigilance and my body began to suffer as my breathing became deeply dis-regulated. I held my breath constantly and when I did try to breathe, it felt stuck in my chest and the satisfaction of a deep breath only came when I forced myself to yawn. I was suffering from exhaustion and frequent severe stomach pains as well as an overall feeling of unease and anxiety that came from “never catching my breath.”  I began to meet with a breath coach and almost immediately transformation ensued.  We met a couple times a week for several months and my body, mind and spirit were not only restored but transformed.
