Workshops for law firms
Tools to lower stress, sharpen focus, and avoid burnout.
I teach your lawyers to regulate, focus, and perform. A 90-minute workshop, led by a lawyer.
Why I teach this
I was told a little anxiety just meant I cared.
For years I ran my legal career in overdrive. Push, deliver, crash. The crashes lasted weeks, sometimes months. I tried cutting coffee, reading every book, meditating. I understood what was happening. I still couldn't change it.
Breathwork was the first thing that worked. Now when I feel stress, I know exactly how to shift out of it.
Now I teach lawyers science-based breath practices to reduce stress and improve focus.
Why now
Nearly half of lawyers report high burnout.
A 2026 ABA study of about 37,000 lawyers found 47% screened for high burnout, and more than 1 in 4 had considered leaving the profession because of mental health, burnout, or stress.
A small investment of time
90 minutes buys tools that take one to five minutes and work right at the desk, before a hearing, after a hard call, every day after.
Felt before they leave
Mostly practice, not a lecture. Your team feels the difference in their bodies, which is why the tools actually get used.
One step against a costly problem
Burnout shows up as missed details, short tempers, and slow recoveries. This is a low-cost way to start addressing it.
What your team walks away with
Better focus, calmer nervous systems, healthier teams.
Know your state
Recognize how stress shows up in your body and mind, so you can catch it before it takes over.
Focus and perform
Breathing practices to sharpen focus and bring your best thinking to the hearing, the deal, or the hard conversation.
Recovery before burnout
Breath tools to settle stress in the moment, and the regular recovery that keeps the push from turning into burnout.
Inside the 90 minutes
What we cover
- The three statesA practical map of what your body does under pressure, and how each state feels at your desk.
- Focus and performanceWhy stress sharpens you up to a point, and weakens judgment after it.
- The cost of getting stuckShort bursts of stress are healthy. Never coming back down is what wears people out.
- A flexible nervous systemThe goal isn't to avoid stress. It's to move through it with resilience and recover faster.
- Live Experience Exercises to teach your team powerful and efficient breathing tools you can use the same afternoon.
The idea behind it
The breath is your remote. Now you learn the buttons.
The goal was never to switch performance off. It's to turn it up when the work needs it and down when it doesn't. Your team leaves knowing which button to press, and when.
The format
Built for a working firm
How it works
Four simple steps
We talk about your team and what you want them to leave with.
Zoom or in person, at a time that fits the firm's calendar.
90 minutes. Part teaching, part practice. Everyone participates at their own pace.
Audio recordings and the pocket card go out within 24 hours.
Common questions
What firms usually ask first.
Will my lawyers roll their eyes at this?
It's taught by a lawyer, in plain language, sitting in a chair. The practice does the convincing.
Does anyone have to share anything?
No. Nobody talks about their stress unless they want to, and on Zoom cameras can stay off. What people notice stays with them.
Is it safe?
These are simple, everyday breathing practices done seated. Anyone can ease off or sit out any part at any time.
Can you do a shorter version?
Yes. A 60-minute version works well for bar associations and lunch-and-learns. Same science and practices, less time.
