First, we will briefly chat about what you are currently navigating, set an intention and ground into the space. I will teach you the breath pattern required for the active immersion portion of the session, which is practiced for 45 minutes or so while laying down. The session is set to music and I will guide prompt throughout. Sessions can be done in-person or remotely via Zoom/Facetime. At the end of every session, there will be an opportunity to discuss your experience and I also send a post-session email to assist you with integration in the time that follows your breathwork experience.

02. WHAT DOES A TYPICAL SESSION LOOK LIKE?

Truly, every session is unique and different. But every individual will begin to feel themselves dropping deeper into their body within the first few minutes. For some, a physical response may follow like tingling, goosebumps, or sensations of tightening. It’s also common for a lot of individuals to have an emotional experience. Tears, laughter, anger, bliss; there is no right or wrong response. Anything can come forward as the energy begins to move and shift, and we actively work to release suppressed emotions and experiences.

03. WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO FEEL IN A SESSION?

The benefits are extensive but also so personal. I have been amazed at the impact this practice can have on everyday life; both for myself and the clients I work with, even after the first experience. First, the movement of stagnant energy and stuck emotions. This is important because ignored emotions eventually present themselves in the physical body, leading to imbalance, ailments and suffering. It’s incredibly important to bring consciousness to where we may be suppressing or restricting flow in our lives. Some other benefits of breathwork are improved overall health and relaxation, stress relief, and support in processing grief, trauma, and anger. One may also experience greater clarity, sense of purpose, and enhanced creativity, communication and connection to intuition. Ultimately, it illuminates the areas of our lives that may benefit from healing.

04. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF THIS WORK?

This is completely understandable and I have been there. I entered an “energy healing for creatives” event while on vacation in California early 2018 oblivious about what I was about to experience. It was my first breathwork session ever. But that moment in time literally changed the trajectory of my life and led me here. WILD, RIGHT? Also, I believe that if you’re here, you’ve come to heal. Trust that inner knowing and the nudge to begin the journey. The details of every session are kept completely confidential, and the space will be held with compassion and grace, ensuring you feel nurtured and supported with every breath. It’s also important to note that your body knows what it needs and this may be different from what you want in a session. I encourage you to let go of expectations, and come to each breathwork experience with an open mind, unattached to outcomes.

05. WHAT IF I’M NEW TO THIS AND NERVOUS FOR THE EXPERIENCE?

As an avid gardener and budding herbalist, I am continually growing and harvesting plants for their medicine and magic. So while I ensure sessions are deeply rooted in nature through my verbiage and prompts, you will also be surrounded by the scents, colours and energy of botanicals and blooms to further support you in grounding into your experience and feeling supported by mother earth. Seasonally, sessions can take place among the blooms in my garden for an even deeper botanical magic immersion. You can also expect handcrafted botanical potions and herbal remedies to land in my online shop very soon; another way I desire to offer healing and support you as you navigate on your unique soul adventure.
