    I loved this presentation. It really felt relaxing and gave me some great ideas to improve my personal and professional practice. Thank you Kelly!

    Very relaxing. Very helpful. I’ve been focusing on my breath at night before I go to sleep. It gives me a sense of wellbeing. I focus less on my thoughts and fall asleep very quickly.
