You will learn about aromatherapy from Gail Bussi, the vagus nerve from Cyndi Dale, mindfulness from Melanie Klein, and more. Whether your need is for yourself, a corporate retreat, or a therapy group, Finding Your Calm helps you tune into your innate intuition and find the right modality for any moment.
