I want to be useful. I want to help people. I want more of us to deprogram old ways of thinking that may have been useful at one time but no longer serve us: internal chatter of negativity, self-doubt, judgment, fear.
The past seventeen years has led me down many spiritual paths as I continue to do my own deprogramming. The start to this journey occurred when I got sober, and I was desperate to find some solution to take away the crippling overthinking and self-flagellation. And in the journey down these paths, I discovered breathwork, which has helped me accept who I am and find more sustainable joy. I’d love to help you do the same.
I offer breathwork both for groups and individuals. I’ve attained two breathwork certifications, being sure to concentrate on both the emotional/spiritual aspects of holding space and, equally important, the science of breath and its effect on our nervous systems.
breathwork sessions
I offer both individual and small-group breathwork sessions as an in-person or online offering (geography is no barrier to healing). This breathing technique, outlined below, can stand alone as a way to explore emotional blocks and uncover new ways of living, or it can be a perfect complement to your existing therapeutic and spiritual pursuits.
What's breathwork?
It's a two-part breath with two inhales and one exhale, repeated rhythmically. You perform it lying down, and it's a much more active form of meditation.
What does a breathwork session look like?
We’ll start by grounding and getting current with what you are looking to work through and manifest in the session.
Then you'll lie down, and I'll lead you through the active part of the breathwork where you'll do that two-part breath for an extended period of time. I'll help guide you and hold things steady for anything that may come up.
After that, you'll get to enjoy a still, quiet, restful meditation.
We’ll end the session by talking through and exploring the experience, as well as discussing ways to engage in self-care afterwards.
What's the result?
Like everything, it's best to show up and be in the process and leave the results to the universe. That said, as you get further into the breathwork session, your mind gives way to your body. You often feel physical sensations that are of a higher vibration. That moves energy internally so that you can let go of mental chatter way more easily than in your everyday life.
And it's that bit of open space that brings a feeling of lightness, a feeling of connection, and often clarity about things you're seeking.
