Nurture deep intimacy with your heart and
tune into your energetic frequency

I’m here to help you connect more deeply to your heart through the power of your breath. I’m a lifelong student and certified teacher and facilitator of Breathwork, an active self-healing technique that has changed my life

I’ve been using Breathwork to deepen my relationship with my emotional body and spirit for over five years. I’m in love with this work because it allows you to step into your healing potential through the power of your breath.

You don’t need anyone to “fix” you. Your breath is the most potent healing tool of all, connecting you directly to the source and intelligence within.

This active self-healing practice is an effective way to bring greater awareness to our limiting beliefs and emotional/mental blocks, and build one’s ability to see the potential beyond ‘the stories’. Breathwork enables us to nourish a stronger relationship with our most confident, intuitive selves and live in greater accordance with nature.

 
 

Breathwork is the next evolution in the healing arts and a modality that makes its way into your life when you’re ready.


I’ve mentored under Erin Telford and David Elliot in New York and LA, and I continue to be a student of this work. Throughout my practice and training, I’ve learned and am still learning that we all have the capacity to mend our spirit.

With the proper tools, anything is possible. I’m honoured to create brave, intentional spaces for other seekers and share these tools with those who are ready for them.

 

Pneuma is an ancient Greek word for "breath", and in a religious context for "spirit" or "soul". The breath has been used since the beginning of time, as a tool to help us labor new life into being, and move through big emotions and pain. When we arrive into these bodies we take our first breath, and it’s our time to leave them, we take our last. There are many different types of Breathwork and ways to work with the breath to move through the emotional, physical, mental, spiritual terrain of our beings. The breath can help guide us into the places we are holding, and show us when we are ready to let go.

In this 2 part Breathwork, we are bringing the first inhale into the low belly/roots/pelvis and second inhale up into the high chest/heart. With the exhale (breath out) being the third part. With the intention to go into the body (soma) where cell memory is stored and activate parts of us that have been dormant. Feelings of self worth thrive in the ‘dark’ so bringing these feelings and parts up and into the heart (self love) to help alchemize repetitive cycles and patterns of addiction and shame.

The Breathwork style I use in my practice and teach has been taught and passed down to me through David Elliott. My work has also been heavily impacted by Erin Telford, whom is also a student and teacher of his work. The roots of this technique and many styles of Breathwork originate from India, through yoga/pranayama. Cultures all over the world use the breath as a tool to reach altered states of bliss and healing. Through the re-emergence of Breathwork in Western culture in the 1960: Leonard Orr, who was born in New York, USA, founded the Rebirthing Breathwork movement from which my teacher studied and mentored from.

We use this Breathwork as an active meditation technique that helps facilitates emotional release. Through full rhythmic breathing, the conscious mind can let go, allowing us to tune into our body wisdom to help heal current stress, past wounds, and traumas. Through this modality of somatic experiencing we aim to treat trauma and stress-related disorders, such as PTSD. The primary goal of somatic experiencing is to modify the trauma-related stress response through bottom-up processing. Our attention is directed toward internal sensations, rather than to cognitive or emotional experiences.
