Breathwork
It was in 2014 that I stumbled into Breathwork by pure luck.
It felt like I had found something familiar yet long forgotten:
A sense of coming home, all at once ancestral & new.
I immediately integrated Breathwork as a part of my “routines.”
Practicing Breathwork enables me to forge a very potent mind-to-body connection.
I became a facilitator in the summer of 2021 (after rigorous training).
Since then, I have done dozens of sessions, alone at home or in groups.
It is hard to trace back the origins of the particular Breathwork that I practice & facilitate: it stands alongside the ancient traditions like Pranayama & newer modalities like Holotropic.
What is Breathwork?
In 2 words: it is an active meditation.
It helps connect to the radical aliveness that we all carry.
It is a 3 part breath that quickly connects you to your inherent wisdom & energy.
Breath has been recognized across time & cultures as a powerful tool for healing,
for Connecting to self, to achieve altered states of consciousness.
It allows one’s mind to access non-verbal parts of one’s being, would they be lodge somewhere in the physical body or in the subconscious.
Or both.
What to expect?
Everyone is different & there is not one answer fits all.
To follow a (none exhaustive) short list:
Connection to body: physical release, embodied healing, sense of dislodging something that had been “stuck”.
Connection to spirit: Some might call it inner wisdom, joy and/or also shadow.
Breathwork is a way to connect dots that our modern world taught us to keep separate, a way to tend to our entire system and feel fully human.

ARE YOU “TRAUMA INFORMED”?
Yes & No.
Yes because I did, and still do, spend a fair amount of my time
learning to develop my understanding & awareness to be able to
hold, acknowledge, recognize, step aside, step up and step down when
needed.
No, because I am not a licensed therapist & our work together can never replace trauma-informed psychotherapy.
