  • Reduced Anxiety, Deep emotional Healing, Trauma Release, Clarity, Reconnection to the Self, Nervous System & Emotional Regulation

  • Breathwork and Pranayama are ancient practices. There are so many styles that are used for a variety of purposes. Some are invigorating and some are more balancing.

    Down-regulating: Box Breathing, Heart Coherent Breath, 4:8 Breath

    Up-regulating: Circular Connected, 3 Part Breath, Wim Hoff, Kapalbhati, Bhastrika

    (just to name a few)

  • Currrent offerings include Circular Connected Breath & 3 Part Breath

    These styles of Breathwork are ACTIVE and Trauma-Informed!

    Sessions are 45-60 minutes of breathing in and out through the mouth while laying comfortably on a mat with blankets. As the CO2 and O2 exchange is altered, the brain begins to downshift out of the primal state. Instead of a constant narrative running in the background we begin to drop deeply into a somatic (bodily) experience.

  • Modifications will be taught for those who have high blood pressure not controlled by medication, major heart conditions, osteoporosis, detached retina, persons who are pregnant, are living with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia or who have a history of epilepsy or seizures and for those on heavy doses of medication's or who may be abusing alcohol or drugs.

“Maybe the journey isn’t about becoming anything.

Maybe it’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you, so that you can be who you were meant to be in the first place”

-Paulo Coelho

A Personal Journey

“When I found Breathwork, I didn't even know what I was about to do. I attended a class because my friend was teaching it, and I walked out with an awareness and experience I can assuredly say I had never had before.

I've always lived with varying levels of chronic anxiety and mental health swings, but I couldn't figure out what to do about it that I hadn’t already tried (and Did I try!). My Nervous System was on a higher vibration, always a little bit Up-Regulated (in Sympathetic Mode). Some of the tools I had helped me Down-Regulate (Parasympathetic Mode) for short periods, but over time my baseline had leveled up in a non-desirable way. Every time I experienced a trauma or stressful situation, it would send me into a higher more agitated frequency quickly and for longer periods, only downshifting partway.

After a few sessions That Feeling was gone; the background of unrelenting stress, nervous racing thoughts, spirals, heart palpitations, and dis-ease (which often transforms to disease if not cared for). Like when a headache finally disappears after days, I was suddenly able to function and sleep and be present.

Once my NS became more resilient the Magic began to happen. I could visualize desires & ambitions, what feels right in my body, where I see myself, how I feel purpose, and tuned in more when I'm struggling through something emotionally. It helps me be in my grief, healing and feeling again. I can acknowledge these deeper parts of myself, work with them, and move along, informed by them.

There are many sensations felt on a Breathwork journey but one of my favorites is the deep meditative relaxation that awaits me as the Journey winds down and the Integration that follows me through my week. I love the ritual of meeting myself over and over again.”
