FOREWORD REVIEWS by Melissa Wuske Jan/Feb 2022: “The book has a calm pace, augmenting the tone of its instruction. The pages are roomy with beautiful, restful botanical accents. Each chapter ends with breathing essentials: a key idea plus a BLIPP—Breath Literacy’s Instant Power Practice—to make sure learning goes from the mind to the body. Breath Is Life is a health book that shows that new life is as close as your lungs.”

Supporting Ukrainian Psychologists 

Laurie and her husband, George T. Ellis, PsyD lived in Kiev for over four years before the start of the war in February 2022.

 

Since the war started, they've been providing frequent Zoom calls for Ukrainian psychologists, teaching coping skills and breathing techniques to help the psychologists and their clients deal with the traumas and atrocities of war.

 

Laurie and Dr. George provided in-person Professional Development Training in Cyprus for the psychologists last September.  

​

Their work continues and fundraising is ongoing to provide additional Professional Development Training. Please consider making a donation.
