Breathwork Detox
Phil Dugas, Certified Breath Detox Facilitator, has been working on his spiritual growth for many years. He learned the importance of keeping his vibrations high. He has brought this concept by using Sound Bath bowls (also offered through NKA). His latest approach is Breathwork Detox.
