When I first started and began building my website, my dear friend encouraged me to explore the site of a woman she followed on Instagram. We admired the layout and aesthetics of her website. However, I didn’t pay much attention to the details of her work or even her name. My focus was solely on the design, which I passed along to my web designer, and I didn’t think much more about it afterward.
Fast forward a bit, Elaine was cleaning out her closet and found a book she had bought but never read. It was called The Reluctant Healer. Thinking I might be interested, she gifted it to me. I accepted the book and placed it in my closet, where it began its journey of collecting dust.
Some time later, my friend hosted a Breathwork party. She invited a group of us, and I experienced Breathwork for the first time. I was blown away by the experience and felt compelled to learn more. I approached the Breathwork facilitator to ask where she had learned this modality. She told me her teacher was Erin Telford and that she was located in Brooklyn.
When I got home, I immediately Googled Erin and visited her website. To my shock, I realized she was the same woman whose site Elaine and I had admired during my website design process. I quickly signed up for the training session, eager to embark on this new path. When I received my confirmation from Erin, I saw that the sole requirement for the class was to read a book by David Elliott, with a link to purchase the book. My heart dropped; I walked into my bedroom, opened my closet, and there it was—The Reluctant Healer. I dusted it off and began my Breathwork journey.
I am excited to announce that I will be facilitating a weekly Breathwork class starting in September.
