Online Breathwork & Soundbath

10:00 AM10:00

Online Breathwork & Soundbath

Join me online for a very special breathwork journey, all participants will receive a tools & techniques workbook before the journey ($55 value!) my gift to you as extra support.

This will be emailed to you Saturday.

If you attend live I will be able to assist and support you specifically- I ask videos be on ( audio off) however live attendance is not required. An audio recording will be sent to everyone and you can return to this journey whenever you need it!

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is a journey.

It is a somatic therapeutic practice backed by science.

Conscious Connected Breathwork is an opportunity to explore non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is an opportunity for learning & integration. The practice can help you return to a natural, stress-free pattern of breath & way of being.

This work is backed by scientific research found in concepts such as Polyvagal Theory, nervous system rewiring, co-regulation techniques, and somatic therapy.

There is a transformative power behind coming together as a collective to engage in group work that allows us to tap into our vulnerability, our authentic expression, and our felt sense of empowerment.
