OVERVIEW

Do you want to have a good night of sleep without spending money on sleep medications or spending time doing meditations? What if I tell you that you can get that deep sleep and good rest that you deserve just by learning how to breathe properly. These simple breathing techniques can help you relax and put you to sleep in a natural way.

It’s a pleasure to have on the show, Dr. Amy Novotny. She is the founder of PABR® Institute with the mission to provide pain, stress, and anxiety relief to those who seek a naturalistic form of treatment when other treatment methods have fallen short. Her unique approach comes from her experience treating in a variety of settings and with a wide range of patient populations over the past 12 years. Her background in orthopedics, sports, geriatrics, balance disorders, nerve injuries, and most recently, chronic pain; and influences from coursework at the Postural Restoration Institute gave her the foundation to develop this treatment method to address a wide variety of painful and restrictive conditions. Her methods have helped countless people reduce and eliminate pain, stress, anxiety, orthopedic surgeries, sleep issues and the need for medications. Dr. Novotny also co-authored two Amazon #1 Best-Selling books Don’t Quit: Stories of Persistence, Courage and Faith and Success Habits of Super Achievers, which share her journey on how and why she developed the PABR® Method.

Her ability to speak French and Spanish has allowed her to communicate with and help various clients from all around the world, including France, Mexico, Central America and South America. She has a variety of interests including running 40+ marathons, running 10 ultra marathons (including two 100 milers), completing an Ironman triathlon, photographing wildlife and landscapes all over the world that has led to several of her images being chosen as Photos of the Day, most notably National Geographic Your Shot World Top Photo of the Day.

She will give us a deeper understanding of how important proper breathing is to our health, and to our sleep. So take a deep breath, tune in and be amazed at how powerful our breathing is.
