Discount offer of the month
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Therapy Wheel: The wheel that blows anxiety away! The therapy wheel is a tool kids can use to learn how to deep breath. It is like a pin wheel on a necklace! Regulated deep breathing is often used to help people manage stress, anxiety, or anger. The therapy wheel requires one to take a deep breath to get the blade to move. All ages can benefit from this tool. The website “therapywheel.com” has exercises that therapists and parents can use with the therapy wheel. For the month of December, get 30% off by entering the code “NOANXIETY” (Offer applies to customers in the United States and Canada). To order now click here: http://therapywheel.com

This is an exclusive offer only available to recipients of Liana’s newsletter!
