My Story.

In May of 2022, I was in a difficult place. It had been a very rough year for me mentally and emotionally, and it was almost summertime. Summer had always filled me with anxiety - the endless noise and requests, the task of keeping 5 children entertained at various ages, in addition to maintaining the house and a job and everything else . . . well, let’s just say that I was heading into summer break already feeling completely burned out.

I had the sense that my nervous system was not well. It was like every noise, every stressor, every challenge entered my psyche and felt like it was stuck there. I tried yoga. I tried meditation. I tried medications - oh, how I had tried medications! - and various supplements. I tried talk therapy. When I told my doctor that I needed help with my nervous system, they just wanted to prescribe me an anxiety medication in addition to the anti-depressant that I was already on!

No thank you.

I just knew that if I could somehow purge my nervous system of all of the old “stuff” it was hanging onto, I would feel better. Then, I stumbled upon a 21-day Breathwork Program that promised to regulate the nervous system and give relief to the overwhelm.

The change was so quick, it was miraculous. I don’t say that lightly.

At first, I noticed that I was able to look people in the eye more when I talked with them. I found myself wanting to engage more in conversations with both acquaintances and strangers. I didn’t feel like I was constantly needing a break from my children. I was enjoying my kids! I laughed more easily. I even applied for a new job closer to home, making better money

l will never forget the time I took the all five of my girls to Target by myself - something I hadn’t done in years (I usually took a couple at a time, but never all of them, because it was too overwhelming), and I felt . . . fine. It felt like the absence of a shadow that had been following me around for so long, that I had just accepted that it would always be there. But yet, it wasn’t!

It truly was the miracle that I had looked for and prayed for for years. Before the 21 days was up, I had registered to train with a school in a foreign country (none of the schools in the States or nearby offered the depth of training that I was looking for) so that I could learn as much as possible about this gentle, highly-supportive style of breathwork, so that others could find the relief that they needed, also.

That was just the beginning. I have learned throughout the last 2 years of training that breathwork goes beyond simply relief from living in fight-or-flight, but also reaches deep within the psyche to rewrite subconscious beliefs and programs, resolve and integrate trauma, and come in contact with your higher self and purpose in life. It leads to greater creativity, increase inspiration, and deeper connection to God, Self and Others.

Curious to know how breathwork can help you?? Feel free to reach out.
