Gordon McKay
Client Support Specialist & Lead Advisor
Break Method helped me embrace my role as a husband and father. Before Break, I let the world trick me into searching in all the wrong places, pushing away love and commitment. I was always seeking happiness and validation outside of myself. I now know I had it all along I just needed to rewire my brain. I’ve seen the results in myself as a parent and I’m most passionate about helping parents rewire before they set their kids up for failure. You don’t ever get those years back. It’s my goal to throw you the life raft RIGHT NOW.
Crystal Naude
Client Support Specialist
I am a wife and mother of three. Motherhood began at the early age of sixteen and although I had challenging family dynamics, I was always determined to become the best version of myself and do things better. I spent years in a toxic relationship, not feeling worthy of love or happiness and hyper focusing on being “perfect.” After my divorce, I discovered for the first time what it meant to truly connect my body and soul… and so the real journey began. I spent years on self-discovery, generational pattern breaking and self-healing. I am on a mission to help change the way we approach mental health and healing, entirely.
Jesse Denny
Client Support Specialist & Advisor
Halfway through Break Method, I knew in my heart I needed to find a way to facilitate the spreading of Bizzie’s wisdom. I’ve been diving down the rabbit hole of personal development for years and I can personally say there is nothing out there like Break. I came into Break confused, hopeless, ashamed and angry. Through the tools I learned in Break I’ve been able to cultivate a deeper awareness of my assumptions in life & the incumbent behaviors that typically follow. I am finally capable of stopping my perpetual cycle of self sabotage. I am extremely grateful to be part of the Break Family & their mission. GAME ON!

Testimonial
THE MOST VALUABLE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING IN MY CAREER
“I can honestly say, Break has been the most valuable professional training in my career as a Physician and Board Certified Addiction Specialist.
Before Break my professional frustrations had reached a pinnacle. I questioned my life’s work, and was beyond burnout yet hesitant to just walk away, having invested decades of study and practice to achieve what was a deep rooted lifelong dream and calling. I felt overwhelmed and ineffective in my efforts to help patients heal even with “evidence based best practices”, and had almost lost faith in the fields of medicine and human service.
On the other side, since integrating Break into my practice I am able to find meaning, solutions and progress in every patient encounter, and offer tangible tools to patients and clients. I am able to see with crystal clarity into complex patterns that once seemed impossible to navigate from an academic behavioral science lens and support their interruption. I am truly grateful to Bizzie and the Break Method, and in awe of all the lives this work has and will touch.”

BREAK METHOD IS THE ANSWER WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR
"As a formerly burnt out Family Nurse Practitioner with 15 years in the Emergency Department I have witnessed the growing mental health crisis first hand. I have also witnessed the the increasing shortage and burnout among the Mental Health Professionals within my small community.
I believe that Break Method is the answer we’ve been waiting for to transform our mental health crisis for the better. When I completed Break Method I was encouraged by how many fellow graduates are medical and mental health providers not only benefiting from the course but also bringing it into their own practices with amazing results.
Break Method is groundbreaking in it’s sustainable and systematic approach. The Break tools you will teach to your patients will carry them through the rest of their lives so they don’t have to stay looping through the system.”
Tools to Transform Our Mental Health Crisis
From incarcerated populations to foster families and families with teens in residential treatment, Break Method has proven efficacy.
