WHO ARE WE?
Your Host, Robin Shirley, Founder of Take Back Your Health™
Hi! My name is Robin Shirley. I founded Take Back Your Health™ in 2010 with the mission to share what I was learning about my own chronic health issues with others who are chronically ill. Our Take Back Your Health™ D.C. and L.A Conference, and our sold-out Take Back Your Health™ Retreats, draw repeat attendees and have grown a like-minded community of thousands of health enthusiasts who are taking back their health.
I grew up with chronic pain, headaches, and rashes, and later developed depression, digestive discomfort, out-of-control systemic inflammation, infertility, and more. I was diagnosed with Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis at 11 years old. I tried everything to heal naturally. Food changes and supplements helped a lot, but nothing truly took the pain away. When I was 23 I was finally diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease, and I was able to get to the root of the pain. I have personally experienced the power of a natural approach to reducing pain and inflammation. I am now 32 years old, a mother of two beautiful babies and running the business of my dreams. Learn more here.

Guided Visualization for Parasympathetic "Rest & Digest"
Energizing and Grounding Breathwork
with Wim Hof Instructor Bob Soulliere
with Robin Shirley, CHHC, AADP
This guided visualization is called "The Relaxation Technique" and has grown from a simple childhood bedtime technique that Robin's parents taught her, into a full guided visualization used at Take Back Your Health™ Retreats. It will help your body get into the “rest and digest” mode – where the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) restores homeostasis to the body, allowing you to heal.
An introductory breathing session that will introduce you to its many mental and physiological benefits, and will leave you feeling buzzy, grounded and happy. Bob will answer questions and guide you on how to take the practice home and integrate it into your daily life.
