  • In this episode, we discuss how fitness and yoga can be used as a supplement to mental health counseling. Lauren and John Busing discuss their approach to wellness and fitness. John and Lauren are the owners of MOVE+breathe in Cumming, GA.

    About Lauren and John

    Lauren Reese Busing, E-RYT 200 and Certified Yoga Tune UpĀ® Teacher, is co-owner of MOVE+breathe. She has been involved in group fitness for over 20 years. She started with teaching aerobics, weight training classes, and triathlons. After several injuries, Lauren found herself in pain. Frustrated ā€“ because even though she was ā€œfitā€, her body was always hurting ā€“ she turned to yoga to find strength and healing for her injuries. Yoga not only helped her feel better physically, but yoga also taught her the importance of balance, both literally and figuratively.

    Laurenā€™s classes are powerful yet playful and encouraging. Her creative sequencing mirrors her lighthearted personality, and each class is a new experience. Laurenā€™s goal is to help her students find balance for their bodies and their lives. She finds her passion in working with athletes (both privately, with sports teams, and with both college and professional athletes), leading adult yoga retreats, and teaching kids yoga. Lauren was a PrAna featured yogi on REIā€™s Yoga for Athletes Live Tour, and she has studied with Sage Rountree, Jill Miller, and Leslie Kaminoff.

    Certifications include RYT 200 Lifted Heart Yoga School, Certified Sage Yoga for Athletes Teacher (one of only 33 in the country!), Certified Yoga Tune UpĀ® Teacher, Certified Roll Model MethodĀ® Teacher, Certified Functional Movement Systems, Certified Grounded Kids Instructor, and Certified Yoga Fit.

    John Busing played college football at Miami University and professionally in the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans, and New York Giants. While involved in athletics growing up he developed a passion for the training and preparation it took to achieve results. Upon retirement in 2012, he moved into fitness and performance to follow that passion. Since then he has worked with all segments of the population including youth, college and professional athletes as well as those wanting to achieve fitness and wellness goals. John is looking forward to sharing his fitness, health and wellness philosophy with you in order to live a healthy lifestyle and move well.

    Johnā€™s strength classes incorporate mindful movement with resistance to strengthen the body and mind.

  • In this episode, I'm talking with Dustin Ellis, LMFT the options that couples have for counseling. "Traditional" couples counseling focuses on repair and enrichment. But often, couples need help with other issues: one person may be thinking about or may have decided to end the relationship, separated parents may need help co-parenting, the couple may be experiencing step family struggles. And these are just a a few. Dustin and I discuss how we determine what path to take with the couple. We also discuss a few times when couples therapy could do more harm than good.

    Dustin uses Emotionally Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems to reveal and address patterns of communication and behaviors that perpetuate relational conflicts. Using this approach, Dustinā€™s work includes:

    Couples Counseling: Understanding negative communication patterns, conflict resolution, co-dependency, affair recovery, pre-marital counseling, parenting skills/strategies, parenting a child on the autism spectrum or with ADHDMen: Work-life balance, relationship skills, stress management, career/leadership development, motivation, perfectionism, boundaries, assertiveness, pornography, retirement, trauma, anger issues & grief.Adult ADHD & Autism: Navigating workplace and personal relationships, stage of life changes, anxietyLife Transitions and Athletic Performance: Development of novel coping skills in response to emerging needs, stress management specifically in response to performance pressure and external expectations You may find out more info about Dustin at https://growcounseling.com/team/dustin-ellis/
