The Art, Science, and Practice of Sleep
Do you really want to sleep? Our invisible sleep and waking rhythms influence how we feel, what we do, and our relationships.

Sleep can be transformed from a struggle of deprivation to a nurturing and restorative rhythm.

Stability Through Change
Drawing from practical biopsychosocial skills and principles of allostasis, interwoven with contemplative practices, emphasis is on the holistic approach to resilience that supports our brain-body’s natural capacity to heal, grow and move with energy, creativity, and freedom.
