- Move from your bones for an integrated mind and body
- Understand and use the healing power of touch
- Combine rest and action using your circadian and ultradian rhythms

A freeing and revolutionary approach to bodily tranquility, Soothe will completely change the way you breathe, move and care for your overworked nervous system.
