About.

"Pattern Breakers is a project that was created out of the concern for others. From my own pain and traumas I decided to create a platform that assists others in creating a healthy lifestyle in and outside of their career.
The original idea was to help individuals in the cosmetology industry in navigating through difficult conversations, situations and create healthy daily patterns. However, as the project grew I noticed that anyone who works one on one with people needs these tools. Tools to assist in creating healthy patterns, boundaries, and a cultivation of empathy for their-self and others. "
-Daniel Jacob Hill, Founder/Author of Pattern Breakers
