Breathwork
The fastest way back into the body.
Before language, before analysis, before thinking your way through something — there’s breath. Worked with consciously, it becomes one of the most direct tools we have for calming the nervous system, building energy, releasing what’s stored, and returning to ourselves.
What Breathwork actually is
Breath is the only part of the autonomic nervous system you can consciously control. That means it’s also the fastest door into the part of you that usually runs on autopilot — the stress response, the held tension, the emotions you’ve been too busy to feel.
Different breathing techniques do different things. Some calm the nervous system. Some build energy and focus. Some open access to emotion and memory that’s been waiting for space. The work is matching the technique to what the person, or the room, actually needs.
I offer two kinds of breathwork: deep session work for transformation and release, and practical techniques for daily use, performance, and everyday regulation.
Styles I Work With
Energizing Breathwork (Based on the Wim Hof Method) A powerful technique combining controlled breathing and breath retention. Builds energy, strengthens the stress response, and sharpens focus. For people who want to feel more alive in their day — and who like working with structure.
Deep Release Breathwork (Holotropic-inspired, conscious connected breathing) Sustained, rhythmic breathing that opens access to held emotion, memory, and insight. For people ready to go below the surface — often during transitions, recovery, or real inner change.
I’m certified through InnerCamp in both styles, alongside additional breathwork modalities I draw from when the work calls for it.
Breathwork or Emotional Release?
A note on what’s what.
Breathwork and Emotional Release work overlap, but they’re not the same thing.
Breathwork is the practice itself — guided breathing patterns used to regulate the nervous system, build energy, calm the body, or open access to deeper states. It’s the foundation underneath everything I do.
Emotional Release is a specific therapeutic methodology — NEO Emotional Release, a body-based practice that combines breathwork with psychosomatic bodywork, IFS, somatic experiencing, and inner child work. It’s used for the targeted, deeper work of moving emotion that’s been stored for a long time.
Most people start with breathwork. Some, when they’re ready, move into emotional release work as well. If you’re not sure which fits where you are, book a free call and we’ll figure it out together.
Practical Breathing Techniques
Short, portable, and useful in real life.
Not everyone needs a deep session. Sometimes what you actually need is a set of techniques you can use on your own — in the middle of a hard meeting, before a difficult conversation, when anxiety rises, when you can’t sleep, when you need to come down after something overwhelming, or when you need to switch on for a high-stakes moment.
These are short, evidence-based techniques from functional breathing, performance training, and nervous system regulation. You leave with practices you can use in two minutes, anywhere, without anyone noticing.
What I teach:
- Box breathing and tactical breathing — for focus, composure, and performance under pressure
- 4-7-8 and extended exhale techniques — for recovery, sleep, and stress reset
- Coherent breathing (6 breaths per minute) — for long-term resilience and daily practice
- Breath holds and nasal breathing — for energy, functional breathing, and physical performance
- Diaphragmatic breathing — the foundation underneath everything else
In a 1:1 session, we match techniques to what you’re actually dealing with — stress, panic, anger, fatigue, overwhelm, sleep issues, performance moments. You leave with a personal practice you can return to.
Often chosen by:
- Professionals managing high-pressure environments
- Athletes and people in fitness and performance contexts
- Parents and caregivers navigating constant demand
- Anyone who wants daily tools, not just deep sessions
Workshops for Studios, Teams & Groups
Breathwork that works in real-world settings.
I teach breathwork workshops in fitness studios, gyms, and corporate environments — typically 60 to 90 minutes, designed to give a group practical tools they can use immediately.
A typical workshop combines three elements:
- Energy and performance — breath holds, activation techniques, nasal breathing
- Stress regulation — quick resets, box breathing, tactical breathing
- Short guided practice — a mini session so participants feel the effect in their body, not just understand it in their head
Adaptable to the group — whether it’s a studio wanting to add recovery-focused programming, a gym interested in performance breathwork, or a company looking for a practical wellness offering that actually delivers.
Who This Is For
Breathwork is for you if:
• You live in your head more than your body
• You’re carrying stress, grief, or tension you can’t quite name
• You’ve tried talking your way through something and know it’s not enough
• You’re in a period of recovery, transition, or rebuilding
• You want practical tools for everyday regulation, performance, or sleep
• You simply want a reliable way to come back to yourself, again and again
You don’t need experience. You don’t need to be flexible, or spiritual, or good at meditation. You only need to be willing to breathe.
How Sessions Work
Sessions can be one-to-one or in a small group. Deep sessions typically last sixty to ninety minutes. Practical technique sessions are often shorter — forty-five minutes is usually enough to teach and practice what you need.
You don’t need to do anything right. You only need to show up and breathe.
A note on safety: Breathwork — especially the deep session styles and breath holds — can bring up strong physical and emotional sensations. I work trauma-informed, which means I’ll never push you past where you are, and you can stop at any time. If you have a history of cardiovascular issues, pregnancy, or certain mental health conditions, let me know before we start — some techniques need to be adapted or skipped entirely.
