  • Access + Expand: Conversation with Jason Kraus, Author of Belly Rubbins for Bubbins
    I met Jason Kraus and his wife, Michelina, at a charity event for Halfway Home Animal Rescue team. They had a great story about their dog, Bubbins, and Jason wrote a book about it. But the book is more than just a true rescue story, it's a book about compassion, about hope. Jason uses the book to educate children about rescues, and how to treat animals. This conversation was far deeper and more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.
    Jason has only written one book, Belly Rubbins For Bubbins. He always had the dream of writing a book one day but instead became an IT Recruiter, Government Background Investigator, and a Financial Crimes Analyst. After rescuing a senior pit bull, he became inspired. Gibbson (AKA Bubbins 😉) came to Jason and his wife, Michelina, with a thyroid cancer diagnosis. Jason and Michelina wanted to give Gibbson a good ending to his life, instead he gave them a new beginning and perspective on theirs. His unconditional love, resilience and endless appetite for affection inspires Jason and Michelina every day to be better people. Jason thought the world should know from a very young age the true loving nature of rescue dogs, especially pit bulls. So he wrote a book and gave back to the world by giving away 51% of profits, because the more you give, the more you get.

  • Access + Expand: Conversation with Stress Reduction Coach, Allison Rutberg
    Allison is totally rad. I don't often use words like that to describe people, but it's completely her vibe. I first met her at Breathwork Healer Training in Brooklyn and have loved her ever since. She holds breathwork circles, women's groups, and offers meditation classes. She actually does lots more, but I'll let you hear it for yourself.
    We recorded our conversation in a big, airy conference room at The Wing in SoHo. Keep that in mind when noticing the sound.
    Allison is a music lover, guacamole maker, compassionate healer, and stress reduction coach.
    Through breathwork, EFT, meditation, and transformational coaching, she supports busy, stressed out people and helps them move from "survive" to "thrive".
    She owns Feel Awesome/Be Awesome a lifestyle and wellness brand that offers easy-to-incorporate health tips with a side of humor, music, and style in 1:1 and group coaching settings.

  • Access + Expand: Conversation with my Sound Healer, Judit Duran
    Judit and I had our first meeting in a yoga studio I'd invited her to, to see if she'd offer breathwork and sound with me. Right away, we hit it off. We had our first event together later that month, and since then, I've gotten to know her pretty well. Judit is a gem. She has so much to share, and it all begins with the bowls.
    Since 2003, Judit has been guiding people into the sublime realms of the soul through classes, workshops and retreats. She has taught Yoga for all these years but now is focusing full time to Sound Healing with Tibetan Singing Bowls as she has connected to this beautiful practice at a very deep level. Judit is certified by Atma Buti International Sound Healing & Vibration Institute located in Boulder, Colorado, and she has also trained with Katherine Hamer in New York City.
    Judit integrates all her knowledge and passion to help clients reach their full potential. She feels very fortunate to have had the opportunity to travel to India, Nepal and Tibet to deepen her practice and to experience the mysticism of the East.
    She is currently seeing clients privately at her Home studio in NJ and offering workshops in the USA and internationally, with the sole intention that people reconnects to their own hearts and soul's mission in this lifetime.
