Breathwork is a self-healing practice. The type of breathwork I practice and facilitate is a two-part Pranayama breath, learned from David Elliott. It is an active meditation intended to pull you out of your head, and put you into your heart.

Besides yourself and a curiosity, there is very little you need to bring. It is recommended you wear comfy clothes. If your session is virtual you’ll want to be in a quiet, private space with a blanket and pillow nearby. If you’re in-person I’ll provide those items.

Sessions are tailored to individuals, couples, and groups. However, there is a consistent structure including an initial check-in discussion, the 20-30 minute active breathing meditation, and a grounding to close the ceremony. There can be an opportunity for shared reflection.

Immediately after a session you can feel lighter and open-hearted. Physically you might be tired, hungry, and have tingling in your extremities. Journaling afterwards can help you process the feelings, emotions, or physical sensations that came up in your session.

Each person will experience their own benefits of this medicine. Many people report: improved energy levels, a decrease in anxiety and depression, a deepened spiritual connection, enhanced mental clarity, elimination of limiting beliefs or behaviors, a release of strong emotions like grief or anger, and an awakened self-love.

It is common to experience the deep-rooted benefits of breathwork after only one session. However, this healing modality is a practice. It is most beneficial when you continue to work with your breath - whether that is daily, weekly, or monthly. Each time you show up you will further heal and learn about yourself.

Rest easy, breathwork is a noninvasive healing modality. In virtual sessions I will support you with a curated playlist and the occasional soft-voiced prompt. In person I might burn plant allies, apply high-grade essential oils, and (if consented) offer gentle supporting touch.

Right now all 1:1 sessions are held virtually, but opportunities for in-person 1:1 healing will be available to Central Oregon residents soon. If you are interested in reserving in-person sessions, please contact me. Healing groups are held both online and in-person.
