The breath used is an open-mouthed deep inhale and free exhale with the entire experience centered around surrendering, allowing, andopening up to a greater intelligence without judgment. It is most closely associated with the rebirthing method. The concept is to inhale fully, breathing from the belly up into the chest. Then, without forcing it, exhaling fully with no pause between breaths.Keep in mind a gentler version can be practiced by breathing in and out through the nose.I’ve studied many types of Breathwork and I have found this circular breath to be the most transformative for two reasons:1) It’s the breath in its purest form and most closely linked to the breath we automatically exhibit. There is no forcing, no holding, no control which allows more space for having the experience most necessary for the highest evolution of your own unique life path.  It allows for surrender, flow, opening, and expansion at a pace divinely orchestrated for the client. 2) Many of the Breathwork modalities today are nothing more than an experiment and are more masculine in the sense they’re designed to force a cathartic or primal reaction. From fire breathing to holding your breath, there is still control and a forced surrendering in a sense. Similar to yoga and the original origin, breathwork has as many offspring as the roots of yoga do. Because breathwork is about becoming your own guru and trusting yourself fully,  it’s critical for me to facilitate using a breath that exemplifies the importance and integrity of this.

Technically speaking Breathwork is a form a meditation. They’re both known for their transformative and healing aspects. Meditation is more focused on relaxation and peace. Yes this can be transformative, but in certain aspects it is more limiting. Breathwork pushes your emotional barriers and energetic edges.

And if you’re neurodivergent like myself, it gives you something to focus on. :)

The most important thing you can bring to your session is an open mind and heart along with a willingness to trust the process.

I provide everything else, including the mat setup, blankets, bolsters. and eye masks.

I recommend wearing comfortable, nonrestrictive clothing, layers if you tend to run cold, and eating only a light meal if you do eat in the hours leading to your session.

Hydration is important, especially afterwards, so feel free to bring water.

Good news. Breathwork works for everyone. Every time. Pinky swear. My neurodivergence brain held these same narratives. It’s why I love breathwork. There’s always something to focus on.

Tips:

1. Keep Breathing Whatever the experience is, keep leaning into the breath. Just keep the breath going; keep yourself open. When you keep your breath flowing and keep yourself open, you’ll notice how quickly and easily both emotions and sensations can move through you.

2. Keep Trusting you will be guided exactly where you need to go. Just know that whatever you experience is what you most need to notice about yourself, to be with. It’s always perfectly orchestrated by that vast field of intelligence, within and without. No hierarchy of experiences. This is all about learning how to be with ourselves.

3. Know you fully supported and I am fully available.Good news. Breathwork works for everyone. Every time. Pinky swear. My neurodivergence brain held these same narratives. It’s why I love breathwork. There’s always something to focus on.

Your insights, clarity, and ability to be a wise observer within your own life will most likely be enhanced. Allow yourself to flow with the new synchronicities and make space for your process to unfold. Oftentimes the journey and it’s teachings will continue for a good portion of time after the actual journey.

Similar to the uniqueness of each journey, self-care after breathwork is based on bio-individuality. It’s important to honor your needs. As long as you’re listening to your needs this will look different for everyone.

Breathwork journeys can be freeing, but also highly stimulating leaving you feeling more sensitive, open, and vulnerable.

You may prefer to be alone while others might feel called to process deeper with a trusted friend or family member.

Rest and hydration is essential. Avoiding alcohol if possible and having nourishing food on hand is also recommended.

Some people enjoy epson salt baths, while others feel called to hike, take a yoga class, dance, or be in nature. One person may enjoy journaling by candlelight while another may throw on a good comedy to lighten the day.

Showing up for yourself in a session is profound. What you’ve chosen to dive into is brave and vital. It can feel powerful, but it’s bigger than you can fully internalize.

Be kind and loving to yourself. That's the key.

I was trained and certified by Gwen Payne who lives in Sedona, Arizona. She took everything she knew could transform valuable internalized knowledge into conscious action and created a training program unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I spent a week in Sedona under her wing, followed by 3 months of intensive follow-ups.

Ripe with over 20 years of breathwork training and facilitation experience, her unique, science-backed approach to facilitating was born from the motivation of providing others with what she wish was available to her during her years of being a student.

I consider her an alchemist or sorts—able to take all the most powerful pieces from her decades of learning and dilute them into the most impactful method of facilitation I’ve come across.

Her entire philosophy is centered around how breathwork becomes the medicine we now get to take with us and work with on a conscious level. After all, the breath is our steady ally, the only thing we can control, and always ready to take us home to ourselves.

After completing my certification, I flew back to Sedona months later to help her train new facilitators which allowed me internalize the sacredness of this practice even more.

I continue to educate myself, practice breathwork myself, and evolve my own practice and knowledge to better serve my clients.

After all, you can only take people as far and deep as you’ve gone yourself. If you’ve been to hell and back more than once, I see you. And I can be you’re soft spot to land as you learn to be your own safe haven.

It’s brilliant actually. Next level IQ type of genius.

In couple’s or group sessions, you’re essentially creating a unified prayer field. What talk therapy cannot access, the breath can.

I’ve witnessed many couples and groups have a profound shift from one session. It’s the deepest and most impactful way to connect in my opinion.
