Breathwork refers to any type of conscious breathing exercise. The type of breathwork I teach is an active form of meditation that has the remarkable power to cleanse your body of toxins created by stress and the environment, relax your body to release tension, and calm your mind to experience a sense of well-being and clarity.  It is therapeutic in nature, but also helpful for enhancing creativity and performance. Most of my clients come to me because they are trying to heal old or new wounds, they feel stuck in their lives and would like to move forward, they want to manage their pain/depression/anxiety/insomnia without medication, or they are in need of self-care and relaxation…or sometimes all of the above. Breathwork is a recharge of body, mind and spirit that may help in a non-invasive way with the following:

Relieve stress, anxiety and insomnia
Manage and treat depression
Assist with grief and loss
Boost performance in business and athletics
Help curb addictions
Eliminate toxins
Strengthen mental focus
Heal physical and emotional wounds and traumas
Boost the immune system
Inspire creativity
Establish healthy sleep cycles
Manage PTSD
Reduce chronic pain
Create wellness to prevent cancer and other illness

What does it look like?

Each session lasts 75-90 minutes. We will begin with a conversation about your needs and why you are seeking healing through breathwork.  Then we will begin the breathing: you will lie on your back on a massage table. Through the use of essential oils, music and coaching I guide you through the practice, which consists of approximately 30 minutes of breathing in a two-part rhythmic breathing pattern.  This is followed by a 15 minute period of relaxation and meditation.*

Who should not do Breathwork?

Breathwork is completely natural and safe for most people.  Please consult your doctor if you are pregnant, have a history of seizures or aneurysms, have any cardiovascular issues, or any medical or physical condition which would impair your ability to lie on your back and breathe deeply for a sustained period of time.

*Please wear loose, comfortable clothing and refrain from eating a heavy meal prior to your Breathwork session.
