Meet our speakers and learn about the tools they will share

Dominique Mas, PCC - Clearing Space for Ourselves for Improved Clarity and Focus

“Clearing the space” is a practice based on the premise that labeling our emotions helps us regulate them. It allows us (and our clients) to put our emotions aside for a moment, focus on the present moment, and make space so that we can expand. By closing all the programs that are running in the background, we allow our internal processor to function at its best! This practice is taught by the NeuroLeadership Institute.

Meghana Karanjkar - Using Breath & Movement to Improve Intuition and Presence

“Breath informed movement” focuses on the breath while moving our bodies. This practice allows our mind to be aware of the movement in the body while letting the mind stop its constant flow of thoughts. As we begin to move in alignment with the breath, the mind slows down, we are more 'embodied' and less in the head. We can then be present and mindful with our clients and listen with a more deeper and intuitive sense.
