What is breathwork?
Breathwork is an intentional practice of breathing done lying down while staying present in your body. This gentle approach supports physical, emotional and spiritual well-being where unprocessed experiences can be integrated, old patterns can let go, and a new intentional way of being can grow. This practice invites you home to yourself.
​
The physical benefits of breathwork include nervous system regulation, detoxification, stress reduction, increased lung capacity and organ massage. Unprocessed trauma may gradually and gently unwind with the support of a qualified facilitator. Other benefits include the integration and release of unprocessed and suppressed emotions and memories that may present as emotional, physical or energetic pain or stagnation.
Breathwork has also been known to provide transcendent, profound spiritual experiences.​ It honours the sacred within you ... the beauty, the light, the magnificent while also holding and integrating the shadow, the broken, and the exiled in order to come to wholeness.
​
It invites you into a deeper connection with yourself and with life.
What does it entail?
The practice is done lying down for approximately 45 - 60 minutes where one will breathe in a relaxed, continuous and circular rhythm. The role of the facilitator is to support the breather to find a relaxed and open breath pattern through gentle hands-on facilitation, presence and verbal guidance. As this is a trauma-informed approach, permission is requested before any hands-on work, and adaptations can be made at any time upon the breather's request.
Breathwork Sessions
Individuals
Experience the powerful tranformative healing effects of breathwork through one-on-one facilitation. You will be gently guided and supported in staying present with your breath and in your body.
One-on-one sessions can be purchased as a single session or in bundles of three or five. The bundles are recommended in order to develop your relationship with the breathing practice and to go deeper. The first session is generally 2.5 - 3 hours and subsequent sessions are approximately two hours.
Small Groups
(3- 9 people)
Breathing together with a small group of friends or fellow explorers provides an intimate and safe setting for personal exploration. What a wonderful experience to share! Sessions can vary in length between 2 - 3 hours depending on the number of people and time permitted.

Testimonials ...
Thank you for facilitating the breathwork journey last night. I really enjoyed the whole approach that you brought. I especially wanted to say thank you for helping me to be comfortable in the yoga and with the set up for being comfortable through the breathwork.
Having the right teacher is an important thing for me. You made me feel welcome in exploring it in a way that I felt comfortable within my level. For the first time I felt okay to just try and not compare myself to others around me because I was struggling so much, it allowed me to be present in my body.

Thanks for a beautiful evening ... I’m not used to getting into my emotional healing ... so I felt surprised and excited about my experience and not used to being open that way with anyone ... it felt so good .. so so freeing .. I’m grateful for you helping me to explore myself ... I had a profound energetic release and I am enjoying all the feelings that surround it as I know it will evolve and show me more of who I am ... let me feel myself in all my different bodies ... my other feelings and experience felt supported . .. you very much held a space for me to to feel safe and I want to thank you for that and trusting you and myself to merge as one ... I feel more connected and am allowing myself to let go ... and work on my healing ... going down that river last night with you was unforgettable ... so ... it’s very good ! Thanks for the laughs too !!! You are so cute and funny and an incredible guide and teacher. Thank you.

I just want to extend a warm and grateful thank you to you for the recent breathwork session. I really enjoyed the experience, and all of the attendees were so welcoming. It was lovely.
I must say that I feel different. More balanced, positive, and awake to the beauty that is all around me. It is a quiet thing, but noticeable. I have distinct memories of your lovely presence on my journey, your soft voice and touch guiding me. You are absolutely lovely.
