what to expect

active breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which creates a felt sense of safety and relaxation in the body. it releases stored memories and traumas from the body, creating more space for wellness and ease.

this 2 hour session includes active conscious breathwork, somatic movement, meditation, energy healing, reflection, connection and more. 

general anatomy of a session:

breathwork sessions begin with a grounding breath, connection, intention setting, and deep stretches to open your body’s energetic spaces.

before the active breathwork journey begins, i demo the breathing techniques we will use for the session, and invite you to practice with me.

the active breathwork journey will be 45-60 minutes long. most of the journey will be laying down in the supine position(on your back). i will invite you to connect to your breath, body, and higher consciousness through affirmations, active self-touch, and music. 

the session closes with deep rest, stretching, and self-reflection. finally, i offer space to share, connect, and reflect on your experience if you feel called to do so.
