Services- Somatic Breathwork

What is Somatic Breathwork?

Somatic Breathwork is a trauma-informed technique that uses breathing coupled with rhythmic music to assist in releasing stress, clearing blockages, and reuniting with what's most important. This helps to expand mental clarity, regulate the body's nervous system, and develop emotional wellness. By using the breath, there is a release of blockages and stress which allows you to work through whatever is holding you back and to align more deeply with yourself. Release may look like moving the body, shaking, screaming, crying, laughing, etc. the purpose is to clear out the emotions and sensations that have been rejected or suppressed and call in more of what you do want. Somatic Breathwork offers an individualistic process to assist you in your personal healing journey.

Who is it for?

Somatic Breathwork is for anyone looking to improve their emotional, mental, and physical well-being. Somatic Breathwork provides results whether you are:

  • Seeking emotional wellbeing: If you're navigating past trauma, stress, or emotional blockages, Somatic Breathwork helps you release stored tension and reconnect with your true self.

  • Wanting deeper self-awareness: If you're on a journey of self-discovery and growth, this practice can support you in cultivating clarity, self-love, and understanding.

  • Seeking personal development: Whether you're looking to expand your emotional resilience, enhance your mental clarity, or strengthen your overall wellness, this practice can support your growth.

​​

How is it effective?

  • Somatic Breathwork stimulates the body in a way that leads it to process unhealed memories and repressed emotions with a sense of safety and presence.

  • Most trauma is caused within relationships, often then, the most profound healing we can encounter is within the realm of a safe and therapeutic relationship.

  • Oftentimes, we find ourselves trapped in explaining our story, with no real connection to the emotions behind it. Somatic Breathwork is a bottom up approach, which means while the breathing occurs, there is a sense of awareness and an ability to explore the emotions and sensations within the body. This action-oriented approach allows you to work through your challenges and a rewriting occurs. This rewriting allows you to be more at ease and less reactive in your daily life.

​

What can I expect?

​Somatic Breathwork sessions are available both in-person and online via Zoom and can be tailored for individuals, couples or groups. Session lengths may vary, with the first portion dedicated to introducing the process and setting intentions. The main focus involves two distinct breathwork techniques, followed by time for processing and integration of what arose during the session.

​

To get the most out of your experience, please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing and avoid eating for at least one hour before the session, as breathwork is best practiced on a relatively empty stomach. The session is typically conducted with your eyes closed, lying on your back on a yoga mat, and your shoes removed. A release of liability form will be reviewed and signed prior to the session. Significant shifts are often experienced within 3-6 months of consistent practice.

​
