Dearest Maren,
I want to take a moment to tell you how profoundly you have
affected my life. I know I tell you this on occasion, but
I am compelled to reiterate my gratitude for you and for
the work you do. Growing up in an unconventional, healing-influenced
lifestyle in Boulder, CO, I have unfortunately encountered
many alternative healers I perceived as dysfunctional, inappropriate,
ungrounded or flaky (or all of the above!). When a friend
referred me to you with a gift session, I thought, "It's
free, what can it hurt? Screaming into a pillow sounds like
fun." Boy, I had no idea what I was getting into...
From our very first session, I was hooked. You are so extremely
present, intuitive and gifted. Your sweetness mixed with your
strength and the unwavering conviction you have in Connected
Breathing earned my respect and trust instantly. The tears,
snot and laughter that have so freely poured out of me during
our sessions have come forth so easily because of the safe
and gracious environment you have created.
The work I've done with your guidance and support in the last
few months has helped me to break down walls, dislodge old
patterns, get closer to my truth, and find my light. My healing
has been tremendous. I was very ready to do the work, but I
needed a guide. I could not be accomplishing what I am without
your insight and support. You have given me so many tangible
tools to use in my every day life, I can't imagine a day goes
by that I haven't applied a technique you have shared with
me. Your teachings help me to express myself with pure intention,
achieve and maintain alignment, and stay my course. And as
if that weren't all more than enough already, we have so much
damn fun doing it!
Thank you for your wisdom and your love. My gratitude is boundless.
Joyfully,
Heather Hartmann

Hey Maren,
I may need to revise some things but here's a first draft.
I still feel like its not enough but that is because I have
had such an amazing experience with the work.
Having completed Life Breath Integrations Intensive Personal
Development Program, my life in all areas has completely transformed
in so many wonderful ways. I could talk about the tangible
results such as more business in my restaurant and happier
employees, but what really transformed that makes so much more
of a difference are a better relationship with my parents,
more patience with myself and my life, a greater sense of well-being
and security, a more positive attitude and more open heart,
the ability to embrace and receive all of life, the abundance
of people who have come into my life, and the list can go on
forever.
The most important elements of this program that has made
such a significant different were the areas around forgiveness
and gratitude. Once my spirit understood these elements on
a cellular level, my entire life opened up to new possibilities,
to change, to a new acceptance and perspective on life.
As a result of completing this program, I have transformed
my business, my career, my relationships with my family, friends,
my employees, my clients, and myself. For the first time in
my life, I love the skin that I am in and I feel more present
than ever in my life.
My first gift session with Maren was indescribable. Light,
love, joy, happiness, and complete trust became my new choices
and emotions in my life. I truly felt as if I had some sort
of epiphany that one can only experience in order to understand
it.
Writing this testimonial was not easy because my experience
with Maren and the Life Breath Integration Intensive Personal
Development program cannot be put into words.
Maren's abundance of knowledge and experience with the work
is immeasurable. I am forever grateful to Maren and her expertise.
I am forever grateful for her divine guidance in this work.
She is absolutely a joy to have had as a teacher.
I wish and send out much abundance
to the inevitable growth of Maren Nelson and Life Breath
because her work should be shared with those who are wanting
to receive more "of
the good stuff" in their lives.
In love, light, & the amazing
gift of breath, I am so grateful to have had the opportunity
to be Maren's student and friend. I send out many blessings
to the inevitable growth of this work.
Love always,

Dear Maren:
Having completed your program, I have been assessing its impact
on my life and find I have a great deal to thank you for.
Going in, I wasn't really sure what to expect or what kind
of outcome I wanted. However, I did know two things. First,
I knew, after the initial gift session with you, that I wanted
to feel a more tangible connection to the Universe. That intense
connectedness, that high, if you will, that I experienced the
first time was so unexpected and remarkable that it served
to assure me that there is a different way of being. It assured
me that, indeed, spirit is tangible and we are not separate
from the Universe. It was enough to give me faith that working
with you could have a significant impact on my life.
The second thing I knew was that there were things keeping
me stuck. I wasn't sure what those things were, but I knew
they were there. So I came into your program with the faith
that somehow, through the work, things would shift.
While I haven't experienced the "high" that I felt
that first time, I have learned to recognize - and experience
on a daily basis - the influence of my guides and have achieved
a much stronger sense of connectedness. My intuition is also
much keener and I trust it more than I did. These things are
a direct result of the rebirthing sessions, our marvelous discussions,
the reading, and my "homework" of journaling, meditating,
and praying.
As for being stuck, only time will tell. However, thanks to
the work, the tangible strides I have made that should result
in significant forward movement are many. For instance, I feel
overall lighter, less care-worn. This is a result, I think,
of having let go of much of the anger, grief, and sense of
responsibility I was harboring around my family members and
their issues. Letting go of feeling responsible for my mother's
death was, in itself, a huge relief and is just one example.
In addition, the issue of worthiness was a defining theme
in our work. I believe the results of working through that
are beginning to show up in many areas of my life and in my
relationships. Because of that one core issue, I have begun
to be much more purposeful in setting boundaries without regard
to how others will perceive me. Amazingly, no one seems to
think less of me for it; in fact, their perceptions of me aren't
diminished at all. It is possible they have even greater respect
for me. What a surprise!
In addition to those tangible strides, I continue to work
on some of the broader issues that will take time to assimilate
fully - concepts such as letting go of judgment and expectation,
and the difference between expectation and intention. Key phrases
that capture some of the most important concepts now act as
guideposts for me: "when you are in upset, you are not
in real time," "hate the sin, love the sinner," "there
is no such thing as fear, we only feel fear in the ego and
it is a result of feeling separated from God." My daily
life experiences are now filtered through these concepts and
as a result I react and respond differently, I see the world
differently and I attract differently.
As if that weren't enough, here's the magic part. With no
intention to improve my ability to memorize, no idea I even
could improve it, that is precisely what happened. Not that
I now memorize things quickly or easily, but I can do it. My
theory is that my mind is quieter and less distracted, therefore
able to be more focused. This was a surprising bonus that has
healed years of embarrassment.
Thank you, Maren, for guiding me on such an incredible journey.
My life will never be the same.
With deepest gratitude,
