BREATHWORK
Online and In-person Experiences
"The breath is our most Sacred Medicine. Breath is our portal from life to death, our gateway to existence, and our most constant companionβ¦.. It is both the record of our life experiences and our map to return home."
STEPH MAGENTA, SEVEN DIRECTIONS BREATHWORK
Who this is for?
For people who are doing the workβ¦ and know thereβs much more to explore!
I typically work with people who are looking to integrate emotional experiences from their past - including trauma - and who have already explored therapy, coaching, or even psychedelic work.
Does this sound like you?
Youβve done a fair bit of inner work already - therapy, coaching, coursesβ¦ you probably geek out on podcasts and books too, and youβve invested time, energy (and letβs be honest, money) into understanding yourself so you can heal, grow, and move beyond old patterns.
And it has worked⦠to a point.
Youβve made real progress, you understand your triggers more, and you can see where things come from - but sometimes that intellectual awareness just isnβt enough.
The anxiety still spikes, the fear still creeps in, the old stories about yourself resurface, and in those moments it can feel like youβve been pulled back into an earlier version of yourself, even though part of you knows better.
You can see yourself reacting, or shutting down, or overthinkingβ¦ and part of you is like βthis isnβt really me - I can do better than thisββ¦ but itβs still happening anyway.
And that can feel frustrating, exhausting, like youβre going round in circles and quietly wonderingβ¦ when is enough enough?
That gap - between what we know and what we feel - is where breathwork comes in.
Beyond talking therapyβ¦..
Talking is powerful, and it absolutely has its place - but thereβs only so far we can go if we stay in the mind.
If we want to process emotions, we have to actually feel them, and emotions live in the body - which means we need a way to access the body in a safe and supported way.
Breathwork gives us that access point.
It works with the nervous system rather than just the intellect, supporting both emotional regulation and emotional expression, so youβre not just understanding whatβs there but actually FEELING it.
It can bring up emotions that are just under the surface, or ones that have been buried for years, and it can also help release physical tension you might not even notice anymore - tight jaw, clenched stomach, braced shoulders, that constant background hum of anxiety that youβve just learned to live with.
This isnβt about forcing anything or digging around in your past for the sake of it - we go at your pace, and we create the conditions where your system feels safe enough to let go of what itβs been holding.
How I work
I blend mindset coaching with trauma-informed breathwork, because in my experience one without the other only gets you so far, and together they allow us to work both consciously and subconsciously.
We start by getting clear on whatβs actually going on in your life right now - what feels stuck, what youβre navigating, what you want to shift - so weβre shaping the session around something real and relevant to you.
From there, we move into the breathwork itself, working with the body and the breath to access whatβs sitting underneath the surface, and then we take time to integrate what comes up - which is often the part people underestimate, but is where so much of the change actually lands.
You donβt need to come with everything figured out - some people arrive with something very specific they want to work through, others just have a sense that this is the next step for them, and both are completely welcome.
