Permission to Exhale was launched at the end of 2020 in response to the national mental health crises taking place. Our mission is to bring harmony to all levels of human experience...internally, relationally, communally, culturally, globally. Permission to Exhale believes that the individual and society form a mutually perpetuating cycle of health, or sickness. This systemic philosophy undergirds all aspects of our practice and is summed up in our mission statement, "Strengthening the individual, to strengthen the family, to strengthen society."
