Testimonials

Happy Clients, Changed Lives

"My perspectives have shifted entirely. I am more aware of my thought patterns and negative habits. I have added more positive habits to my life because of this. This has given me a rare hope for a brighter future."

Young Adult, Dayspring Wesleyan Church

“I never knew that I needed to “BREATH” while teaching a class. This session opened my eyes to how important it is to actually FOCUS on breathing. I do this all the time now and include my students in the process.”

Teacher, River Valley Local Schools

"Mrs. Chandler's background in education enables her to deliver mindfulness and movement presentations to staff and students that stand out from other service providers. A true professional, her careful planning to meet the needs of staff and students is very evident from the way she engages her audience, and from the feedback she receives from exit tickets and surveys."

Teacher, Bucyrus City Schools

"Mrs. Chandler has spent several days at Bucyrus Secondary School working with our phys. ed. classes, grades 6 - 12, teaching our students Movement and Mindfulness. She does a fantastic job communicating her goals and makes all of her activities age and skill appropriate. My students were actively involved and focused on her teaching and although there may have been some moaning and groaning from a few students at the beginning, all of the students that participated learned strategies on stretching and relaxation techniques."

K. Knodell, Bucyrus High School Teacher

“I think that breathing, movement, and relaxation exercises in the classroom can significantly benefit... by improving focus, reducing stress and anxiety, and promoting a calmer... environment. These techniques can also enhance body awareness, self-regulation, and overall... well-being... My takeaway is to make sure that this is a vital part to each day because it is such a high need right now in our world to take care of our mental health... Since that session, I’ve made time... for simple breathing routines... It’s a small shift, but I’ve noticed a difference. Students are more focused, and I feel more in control of the classroom atmosphere. I also started being more flexible about allowing movement—something as simple as a brain break or a walk to get a drink can be a reset for a student who’s spiraling emotionally."

Teacher, River Valley Local Schools

“The breathing, moving, and relaxation session was much appreciated as well.  First of all, it acknowledged the fact that teaching is an extremely stressful and sometimes overwhelming career.  We learned some ways to calm our system, like the eight count breathing method- which I have used not only while in my classroom for myself and with my students, but in my personal life as well (flying on an airplane this summer)!... Students learn best when they feel calm, focused, and emotionally regulated. By incorporating breathing, movement, and relaxation into our daily routine, I have created a more mindful, focused, and emotionally safe classroom. I used it several times this year with one student in particular who was having a rough year with her father being in prison. When she became urgently upset we would take time to just breathe deep, count and relax together. This allowed her time to become more calm, focused and  ready to learn.”
