Professional Testimonials:
These practices of Derval’s allowed me to change my clinical practice. I only wish I had started sooner.
Dr. Ursla Skerritt, Consultant Psychiatrist HSE, retired 2020
Derval's breathwork programme has had a massive impact on my anxiety in the classroom and at home. It is an instantly accessible tool and requires zero planning. I absolutely love it, the kids do too.
