Linda Lentini, Breath-Body-Mind Foundation, Inc.

As a Certified Level-4 BBM instructor, I enjoy sharing these practices with others to empower individuals to heal from within. When I was introduced to these practices in 2018, I noticed a change in my internal well being and my overall feelings of safety. My past includes traumatic experiences and these practices allowed me to finally feel safe. After years of therapy and other forms of treatment, these practices give me the skills I need to live a full life.
