I have a deep love for transformation and leaning into the work that shifts us into living our most purposeful life. My journey into the world of breathwork began in my first class with friend and yoga studio owner Kelly Nightingale. She had just finished her training in Los Angeles and returned inspired to share this work with as many people as she could. My very first breathwork session was hands down, one of the most profound experiences of my life. I felt every emotion with such freedom, I couldn’t have held back if I wanted to. It felt as if years of emotional pain, sadness and memories were being released from my body. What blew me away the most was the immediacy of the results. I had compassion for every person in my life. I felt no anger, no judgment, and a deep sense of inner peace. Floating in the aftermath of joy, love and gratitude, I was instantly drawn to lead others in this same practice. Later that same week, I signed up to become a Breathwork Facilitator myself.
I had completed the first of Jon Paul Crimi’s two-part training and began teaching right away. It was such a natural calling from teaching yoga into leading breathwork. My love and passion for healing started pouring out of me, and what I discovered about myself is that this work created connection, love and trust faster than anything I had experienced before. As I began to share this practice with everyone I could, the response was undeniably powerful. Peoples’ lives were changing right in front of me, as did my own. With every class I practiced I was melting away self-doubt, feelings of not being good enough and discovering peace in a way that had never been accessible like this before.
What is possible for YOU reaches far beyond your own comprehension and lives outside of the realm of possibility that you currently know. I have stepped into moments of intense pain and hurt, moments I have not shared with others, moments that seemed impossible to heal. Through breathwork I’ve been able to rewrite some of my past and heal traumas so big I never thought I would be free of them. It has taught me to forgive myself and all those who have hurt me, to trust myself more fully and to have compassion in its purest form for all beings. What I have gained as a teacher and student of this work is astonishing and I couldn’t possibly share the impact more than for you to experience it for yourself.
As fully certified Breathwork Facilitator, we wanted to create a platform for people to access this life changing work. Along side my friends, mentors and two of the most powerfully inspiring women I know, Breathwork Healing was born. My hope is that you feel loved, supported and safe as you dive into this courageous work of conscious connected breath to heal. If you are open to it, this work will change your life.
