Breathwork and Somatic Awareness
This is a space to honor your body's innate wisdom and capacity for healing. I offer breathwork and somatic healing sessions designed to help you connect deeply with yourself, create space around all that is moving through you, and cultivate a sense of embodied agency.
My Approach
Agency-Centered & Personalized
Every session is uniquely tailored to you, honoring your individual needs, experiences, and intentions. I believe you are the expert of your own body, and my role is to support you in listening to its wisdom. We move entirely at your pace—there's no rush, no judgment and only gentle guidance as you explore what arises.
Trauma-Informed Practice
Safety is the foundation of all our work together. I create a container where you feel held, respected, and empowered to set boundaries and explore at your own comfort level. Your nervous system guides our journey, and we honor whatever emerges with compassion and curiosity.
Body-Led
Your body holds the story of your experiences, and it also holds the key to your healing. I believe in the profound wisdom of your somatic intelligence—your body's natural ability to regulate, release, and restore balance.
Breath as Bridge
Your breath serves as the bridge between conscious awareness and your autonomic nervous system. While I incorporate various breath patterns and techniques, I find conscious connected breathwork to be a beautiful tool in walking through this bridge and bring this breath into sessions regularly.
What to Expect
Somatic Awareness
We'll gently tune into the subtle sensations in your body—the places where you hold tension, the areas that feel alive with energy, and the spaces that feel nothing. Through mindful awareness, you'll learn to listen to your body's wisdom and respond with kindness.
Breath Connection
Your breath is a powerful tool for transformation. We'll explore different breathing techniques that help you:
- Release stored stress and tension
- Access deeper states of relaxation and clarity
- Process emotions and experiences safely
- Cultivate presence and embodiment
- Strengthen your mind-body connection
While all sessions incorporate breathwork and somatic awareness, the specific techniques and focus areas evolve based on your unique needs.
Who This Is For
These sessions are for you if you're ready to:
- Create awareness and space around intergenerational patterns and ancestral trauma that manifests as chronic tension, anxiety, or emotional dysregulation in your body
- Address the somatic impacts of oppression, colonial violence, and systemic injustice that live in your nervous system and bodily tissues
- Reclaim your embodied sovereignty by learning to listen to your body's wisdom and make choices from a place of authentic safety
- Develop somatic tools for navigating triggers, emotional overwhelm, and stress responses rooted in trauma
- Cultivate nervous system resilience that allows you to stay present and regulated even when facing challenging emotions or situations
- Create space around stored experiences in your body that no longer serve your healing and growth
- Strengthen your capacity for self-regulation and co-regulation in relationships and community
The Process
Initial Connection
We begin with a conversation to understand your goals, intentions, and any areas of focus you'd like to explore. This helps me tailor our sessions to your specific needs.
Session Structure
Each session typically includes:
- Grounding and centering to establish safety
- Guided exploration of body sensations
- Breath (we might explore the conscious connected breath or other styles, based on what is needed in your specific session)
- Integration and reflection
- Practical tools you can use between sessions
Ongoing Support
I provide guidance and support between sessions, helping you integrate the work into your daily life.
