All About Breathwork
I first found breathwork while taking a course on chronic illness. At the time, I was stuck in a cycle of anxious thoughts — constantly telling myself “I’m sick” and feeling my body respond by staying in that same pattern.
What I didn’t expect was how much breathwork would shift that. During sessions, I started visualizing my future self and calling in the life I actually wanted. And slowly, those visions started showing up in reality: I manifested my dream car, two cats, jobs that lit me up — I even manifested TLC.
Yes, there’s plenty of research about the physiological benefits of breathwork. But for me, this practice is deeply spiritual. Breathwork has helped me flush out the gunk — the noise, the fear, the heaviness — so I could reconnect to the core of who I am, who I want to be, and how I want to move through the world.
How to Experience Breathwork with Me
-
Group Workshops
Group breathwork has been tremendously impactful in my own healing. There’s something powerful about coming together in community — the shared energy amplifies the release, and it reminds us we’re not alone in what we’re moving through.
That’s why I love offering breathwork in group spaces. It’s a chance to reset, reconnect, and experience the kind of collective support that makes this practice so transformative.

Intuition Activation
A 4-week breathwork program designed to help you regulate your nervous system and reconnect with your intuition. Each week, we use breathwork practices to quiet the overthinking mind, strengthen your connection to your body’s signals, and create space for the guidance of your higher self to come through. Breathwork isn’t just the tool — it’s the doorway that facilitates the whole process.

Every session is unique, but here are some common experiences people report:
Physical Experiences
Lightheadedness
Tingling sensations
Cramping in the hands or mouth (tetany)

Non-linear thinking (enhanced creativity and problem solving)
Intuitive insights (breaking free from mental limitations or default patterns)
A sense of timelessness (the mind shifting into a deep, meditative state)

The work doesn’t stop when the session ends — your body and nervous system may continue processing for hours or even days afterward. Aftercare is about supporting that integration:
Hydrate + Nourish: Drink plenty of water and eat grounding, nourishing meals to help your body regulate.
Rest: Give yourself permission to rest, nap, or go to bed early if you feel tired.
Journal or Reflect: Write down anything that came up — emotions, insights, or memories — while it’s still fresh.
Gentle Movement: Light stretching, walking, or yoga can help release lingering energy.
Emotional Space: Allow feelings to surface without judgment. Crying, laughing, or waves of emotion are part of the process.
Integration Time: Keep the rest of your day simple if possible — spaciousness helps the session “land.”
Everyone’s integration looks different. Some feel energized and clear right away, while others may feel tender or more inward. Listening to your body is the best guide.

Just like during breathwork, the after-effects can vary from person to person and from session to session. Some common experiences include:
Deep calm or relaxation – many people feel lighter, clearer, and more at ease in their body.
Emotional sensitivity – you might feel tender, raw, or more open as emotions continue to surface.
Physical sensations – tiredness, spaciousness, or a lingering buzz of energy are all normal.
Mental clarity + insight – fresh ideas, creative thinking, or new perspectives can arise.
Integration period – sometimes the full impact unfolds over hours or days, with subtle shifts in mood, awareness, or relationships.
Every experience is valid. The best thing you can do is notice what’s present for you and give yourself space to integrate.

While breathwork is safe for many people, it may not be suitable if you have:
Heart or cardiovascular issues – high blood pressure, heart disease, history of heart attack, stroke, or aneurysm.
Respiratory conditions – asthma, COPD, or other serious breathing difficulties.
Pregnancy – due to risks with blood pressure and hyperventilation.
Severe mental health conditions – such as schizophrenia, psychosis, bipolar disorder (not stabilized), or severe dissociation.
Recent surgery or injury – especially abdominal, chest, or bone conditions like osteoporosis.
Seizure disorders – including epilepsy.
Serious uncontrolled medical conditions – such as diabetes or thyroid disorders.
Eye conditions – glaucoma or retinal detachment.
Medication concerns – taking 2+ heavy medications that alter brain chemistry.
Substance addiction – altered states could be triggering for those with a history of drug or alcohol dependency.
