Breathwork Nervous System Mastery
In
Breathwork & Nervous System Mastery (Chairside Calm), Mélissa-Sue Methven, RDH, equips dental professionals with simple, evidence-informed breathwork tools to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and build real resilience in a high-pressure environment. She breaks down what’s happening in the body during fight-or-flight versus calm states—and why that matters for clinicians, teams, and patient experience. This talk delivers practical “reset” techniques that can be used chairside and throughout the day to create a calmer workplace, strengthen connection, and support long-term sustainability in dentistry.
