Hi, I’m Nate Benson, a sensory motor therapist with five years of experience working with clients recovering from brain injuries and related conditions. One of the most common issues I see—not just in this population, but in people in general—is poor breathing habits.

One pattern I notice, including in myself, is breath-holding during moments of focus or concentration—whether in therapy, school, work, or even in regular conversations. This habit can trigger a range of symptoms: headaches, fatigue, nausea, irritability, anxiety—the list goes on.

What I’ve found, both personally and professionally, is that using the Relaxator has been a game changer. It helps people breathe more calmly and rhythmically, encourages nose breathing, and gives a real sense of control over stress and energy levels. It’s also made me much more aware of my own breathing patterns.

There are weeks when I’m particularly stressed or tired, and my breath is now a clear indicator of what’s going on. With the Relaxator, I can respond to that in real time. I’ve seen the same benefits in my clients—it’s helped shift long-standing habits in a way nothing else has.

I’d give it a 10 out of 10. Whether you’re a high-performing athlete, a regular person like me, or someone recovering from a chronic condition, this is an easy and powerful tool to improve how you breathe—and more importantly, how you feel.
