FREESPIRA’S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE A SAFE AND MEDICATION-FREE TREATMENT TO SUPPORT AMERICA’S VETERANS STRUGGLING WITH SYMPTOMS ASSOCIATED WITH PTSD AND PANIC DISORDER.
Freespira is an FDA-cleared, in-home treatment. It is an option that can be used along with talk therapy and medication, or on its own. Once authorized, Freespira ships your patient a sensor, a small breath sampling tube and a tablet with an app. The treatment corrects irregular breathing patterns, a physiologic factor of repeated anxiety attacks, and trains the body to reduce or eliminate them.
We are honored to be listed on the VA Federal Supply Schedule 65lla – 36F79720D0158, through our SDVOSB partner Franklin Young International, Inc.

I was an aggravated mess, short tempered for no reason, and always on edge. That edge was very sharp and when people got close I would ‘cut’ them with my behavior. The breathing causes me to stop and slow down. It’s like my edge is dull now instead of sharp and people can get close to me. My children really noticed that there has been a change. I am so glad my doctor suggested I do this.

Since completing Freespira, I am able to control my anger, and I am not as depressed anymore. I’ve learned to cope better and am functioning well. I enjoy family activities again, and my family enjoys being around me, too. Freespira gave me an outlet to control my symptoms, so I am able to function in everyday life.
