Somatic Breathwork

Welcome to Connect with the Breath. I am dedicated to helping you acheive holistic wellness through a somatic breathwork practice. My approach is to guide you on your journey towards emotional and spiritual well being. I am living proof that the body has the natural ability to heal from within and I strive to create a safe and nurturing space for self discovery and healing.

Please arrive 10-20 minutes early. If you arrive more than 10 minutes late you will be asked to attend the next group or private session, doors will be locked to prevent interruption. You will be asked to turn your cell phone completely off and leave outside of the studio. Please wear comfortable clothing as you will be lying down for this event. Clothing you would wear to yoga is advised. Please bring your yoga mat, water bottle with a lid, and chapstick. Avoid eating any heavy meals for at least two hours prior to session. Blankets, eye masks and pillow props will be provided.

Somatic Breathwork is designed to activate the nervous system in a controlled manner for the first half of the session. With that being said, if you have uncontrolled anxiety or have been in fight or flight for a prolonged period of time, I ask that you please reach out to me for a privately guided 1:1 session at connectwiththebreath.com. Soma means body and this type of breathwork allow you to feel fully into your body releasing trauma that has trapped itself within the fascia of the body. The second half of the journey we will access the parasympathetic nervous system and create a repatterning in the nervous system. When the body creates this space it allows room for us to once again connect to our true selves.

Consult your physician prior to this practice if you have any known medical conditions. Do not attend if you are pregnant. Somatic breathwork will be at your own risk, please note you are always in control of your journey. You should not do somatic or holotropic breathwork if you have any of the following conditions:
