About 3 part Circular Breathwork:

Slowing your mind down so you can get into your body, accessing deep parts of yourself that have been buried. This style of breathwork is a healing modality that connects you to your heart, body and soul through a specific 3 part Circular Breathing technique. We tap into your inner healer. You have all you need for healing but oftentimes our thoughts, past stories and limiting beliefs get in the way and keep us stuck. This practice helps you get present, process and let go of stuck emotional energy, shifts your state and stress levels and allows you to experience deep inner healing. It will allow you to give attention to those parts of you that have been crying out so you can step into your wholeness.

This 3 part Breathwork practice also connects you to your intuition/inner wisdom. You will receive clarity around things that you may have been confused by or have fear around and it gives you the confidence to take the first step. I am a certified practitioner in trauma recovery. Unprocessed pain, grief, anger, fear, anxiety, sadness... live in our body. Unless released, you will eventually experience symptoms like chronic fatigue, panic attacks, self-sabotaging, betrayal, digestive issues, autoimmune diseases, chronic pain and so much more. This 3 part Breathwork practice has been an incredible tool for me in my own healing of unprocessed emotions and limiting beliefs.

No experience required, the process itself is very simple. It is done lying down on your mat with your eyes covered, breathing into your belly, chest, and out, using full deep breaths all through the mouth. Music is playing throughout the practice. No two sessions are the same! I will be holding space and facilitating the whole time.

For your safety, we do not allow persons with the following conditions to participate: If you are/ think you may be pregnant, have a severe uncontrolled physical/mental health condition like complex PTSD, or have been hospitalized for any psychiatric condition or emotional crisis during the past10 years, have had a stroke, seizure, TIA or other brain/neurological conditions or disease this practice, is strongly not recommended.

About Suzanne:

Suzanne had type A personality busy and productive, but over the years it took its toll on her nervous system and in 2010 she started experiencing autoimmune symptoms and became very sick. At that point she realized her busyness and running from her emotional pain needed to change. This began the inward journey! She has since learned the tools to process her emotions, see and heal her limiting beliefs and step into her wholeness. A huge piece in her transformation was her first 3 part Circular Breathwork class. She is now a Trauma Informed Somatic Breathwork Practitioner and also educates people on the nervous system and regulation tools. She is passionate about creating an environment of safety so healing can happen. When she is not teaching or coaching, you can find Suzanne hiking, traveling, biking, yoga, and having soulful conversation with her community.
