I’m so excited to announce that The Breathe Intensive will be making it’s way to Phoenix, Arizona!! Our Phoenix Intensive group will be quite intimate in size, so email me at aloha{at}natalienortonblog{dot}com to reserve your seat today!

What is The Breathe Intensive?

The Breath Intensive is a business and lifestyle rework for moms. It’s a remarkable opportunity to dig deep, get clear, set goals, and learn tried and true systems that will help you balance and structure your life for ultimate success and JOY. Click here for a more detailed description.

Is The Breathe Intensive right for you?

Read sample participant profiles here.

What others are saying:

“I wrote this e-mail over and over in my head for 5 hours as I drove home last night.  ‘How do I adequately tell her what she’s done to my life?’  Two little words–’thank you’–just aren’t enough.  I came to the workshop with pretty high expectations.  You promised life change after all.  And even with that promise, you under-promised and over delivered.  Honestly.  I am so excited for the future.  For who I get to become.”

__________

“I came home from Breathe feeling so refreshed.  Excited for the future.  Excited to ACT and to DO.”
__________

“Yesterday we had a friend of the boys over for dinner. Reed said to him, ‘My mom used to be on the computer all the time. But now she’s only on it sometimes, and she sets the timer. It’s really cool, dude.’ My 8-year-old. Bragging! About my progress! About my effort to prioritize! :) Made my heart happy, so happy, and so full.”
__________

“Thank you for your continued involvement with all of us.  It’s a testament to your character that you continue to stay invested in all of us even after the workshop is over.  It’s the workshop that keeps on giving.”
__________

“Since attending Breathe, I’ve really tried to make some big adjustments. . . .I’ve been spending more time with my kiddos and less time on the computer. I set business hours and am really trying to stick to them. I’ve begun to say “no” to things I don’t want to shoot so that the time I spend away from my family working is time doing something that I’m passionate about.”
__________

From an attendee’s happy husband:

“I have been meaning to e-mail you and let you know how much of an impact you’ve had on our life in such a short time.  We’re still working through all the info Jenny got from your Breathe workshop, and we’ve came up with some pretty cool ideas. . . .Just wanted to let you know that you’re doing some wonderful things in this world that are bringing joy to many people, making life easier and more enjoyable, and many other things. . . . Just awesome stuff, really!”

Can’t wait to see YOU in Phoenix!

In reality I am a slave to my business working form the time i get up to the second I fall asleep in the wrinkled clothes I wore all day.

The response to The Breathe Intensive has been out of this world! I’m so excited, amazed really, by the way everything is coming together, from the wonderful women who will be attending, to the beautiful venue, to the exciting sponsors who have come on board to support us! I’m so full of gratitude and excitement that I feel like my heart is going to explode.

I’m so excited to welcome:

Adorama, The Vintage Pearl, Fotofafa, Mike Colón Photographer

Thank you all! I’m completely honored to have you on board.

Now, I know you’re all dying to hear the recipient of The Breathe Scholarship. I literally spent hour upon hour (upon hour) reading (and re reading) nearly 200 entries. Many of you moved me to tears, and I want you to know how touched I was by you genuinely sharing your hearts with me. This decision was a heavy one to carry; I took the process very seriously. Each.and.every.one.of.you is SO DESERVING. In the end I had to “simply” rely on my gut.

A HUGE congratulations to:

Crystalyn Nilson & Lindsay Ross

Contact me at aloha{at}natalienortonblog{dot}com and we’ll complete your registration process ASAP! I can’t wait to meet you both!

An absolute favorite from Kit and Nichole’s beautiful North Shore wedding.

Today.

Today, I reminded myself that life is too short not to spend more of it outside.

I also plan to put on my prettiest dress and spin in circles at sunset.

xx!
