Meditation & Breathwork: Reclaiming Inner Stillness
Beyond his clinical hypnotherapy expertise, Terry has spent over two decades immersed in the study and practice of Vipassana meditation in the tradition of S.N. Goenka. His journey began at the Southern California Vipassana Center in 2004 and has evolved through advanced training in breathwork techniques pioneered by Kaya Leigh, Devon Graham, and Mantak Chia’s Qigong breathing methods.
