Breathwork
What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a somatic modality (of the body) that invites you to practice different breath patterns. Consciously using your breath is key to releasing tension, stress, emotions, helping you access different emotional states, shifting the energy from within your body and offering lots of ongoing health benefits.
I still believe in mindset (top down) and I have fallen in love with the power of accessing the body (bottom up). Together they deepen our ability to transform and heal sustainably. I use breathwork for relaxation, nurturing and transformation. It integrates and magnifies what we already do as coaches.
Depending on the intention of the session, breathwork can energise and invigorate you. It can help your body return to homeostasis, or even take you to a different planet. It’s possible you will be able to access different states of consciousness so you can create clarity and tap into your intuition. Every person and every session holds a different experience.
I will teach you different breath patterns, inviting you to breath, possibly move and maybe make sound. We will be breathing for extended periods of time (often 20 minutes or more) and you will be accessing your nervous system.
My clients have used breathwork to relive pain, symptoms of menopause, manifest their deepest desires, shift their mindset to abundance and release stories from the past.
I am so excited to be able to offer a trauma informed somatic experience to support you via your body.
Breathwork is a beautiful somatic practice that has the power to elevate, heal and transform.
The breathwork I offer is a journey that involves the somatic process of breathing to shift energy, emotions, improve health, transform and heal.
I am available to facilitate breathwork 1:1, for couples or for groups.

How to prepare for your breathwork session:
You can bring an intention to the session if you want. I suggest you have an empty stomach to maximize your comfort. You are welcome to use headphones and an eye mask. You can also bring a journal and a pen to jot down any ah-has at the end of the session.
The invitation is really to set up your space so it’s comfortable, and feels safe. You might want to light a candle, use essential oils, bring a blanket and a pillow. It’s up to you.
You are welcome to participate sitting up or lying down. If you are sitting up, please make sure you are leaning against something.
If you can set up your computer or phone in a way that I can see your face and chest while you are breathing, it is ideal.
