Check out who is now available to check out at the Greenville Library?!? MY Leona Learns To Breathe!!!

There is something extra special about seeing Leona on a library shelf — available for young readers, families, teachers, therapists, and fellow breath wellers to discover.

One of my biggest hopes for Leona Learns to Breathe has always been to make the basics of breathing, body awareness, and mindfulness more accessible — giving YOU tools early and often that so many of us didn’t learn until much later in life.

And now, you don’t even have to buy a copy to experience her. You can CHECK HER OUT!

So excited for my Leona to have another way to make her way into little hands, homes, classrooms, and communities.

If you’re local to Greenville, go find Leona Learns to Breathe at the Greenville County Library System!

Yes, sexy I know AND I absolutely do this to check out how much ROOM I have to breathe via my nose!

Because breathing well takes adequate tongue rest posture AND healthy, open nasal passages.

Your nostrils — the little holes you see on the outside — are only the entrance. What I care about is what happens once air gets INSIDE the nose.

How much open space however is actually available for air to move through?

One of the structures I’m looking at here is the inferior turbinate — tissue along the side of the nasal cavity that helps warm, humidify, filter, and regulate the air we breathe.

And turbinates are SUPPOSED to change size. Your nose naturally cycles between one side being a little more congested while the other is more open. But when that tissue stays significantly swollen, it can start taking up valuable real estate and restrict nasal airflow.

Looking inside your own nose can give you clues (love clues). If you see a lot of tissue and very little dark/open space behind it — especially if it matches symptoms like chronic congestion, difficulty nasal breathing, snoring, or mouth breathing — it may be worth having an ENT take a closer look.

Note: You cannot diagnose turbinate hypertrophy or nasal obstruction just by staring up your own nose. That takes an ENT to evaluate what’s happening deeper inside and determine whether inflammation, turbinate enlargement, septal deviation, nasal valve issues, polyps, or something else is limiting airflow.

But as someone who has already undergone a septoplasty + turbinate reduction, I am VERY aware of maintaining my nasal health and hygiene.

Because we can work on tongue posture, swallowing, diaphragmatic breathing, and keeping the lips closed.

But we also have to make sure there is a VIABLE PATHWAY TO BREATHE THROUGH YOUR NOSE.!

If your nose isn’t functioning well, your body has ONE other option: your mouth!

And chronic mouth breathing is not the breathing pattern I’m working toward.

Always grateful for the feedback and Google Reviews from my clients.

I truly care about whether my clients get better — and whether they’re able to integrate the skills we’re learning together into lifelong habits.

This is the work that changed my own life, and I’m honored to now share it with others.

If you also suspect dysfunction with your mouth, breathing, swallowing, speaking — and especially your sleep quality — let this be your sign to take the next step.

It’s been a glorious month-plus in the new office, and I thought it was time to share a little more about what it looks like inside!

I crafted a space that intentionally DOESN’T feel like a doctor’s office. I wanted it to feel more like you were coming to a friend’s house to figure out a solution to a problem together.

In fact, the chairs are from my childhood kitchen table — where my mom and I figured out A LOT of problems over the years. Thanks for the chairs, Mom!

I also very intentionally put mirrors wherever I could. You have to SEE AND FEEL the changes happening in real time for them to stick! And when parents sit in on sessions, they can see exactly what their kids are doing in real time, too.

I wanted to make sure there was plenty of room for more intraoral bodywork so I can utilize all the skills I’ve been training in — including TMJ massage, CFT, and more.

Every new client also goes home with an Xlear Sinus Care sample, and I keep other tools and products in the office to help educate and support nasal, oral, and breathing hygiene.

And, of course, there are Leona Learns To Breathe books available for purchase!

This is the kind of office I would want to come to — and I hope you do, too!
