ABOUT BREATHWORK
“The human mind has the capacity to explore realms of reality beyond the ordinary and tap into vast reserves of wisdom and insight.”
― Stan Grof
Integrative Breathwork combines accelerated breathing, evocative music and energy-releasing bodywork to assist us in working in an expanded state of consciousness. With your intrinsic wisdom guiding the process, healing takes place through the full experience of what’s emerging and the release of what’s no longer needed. This allows us to better experience and integrate these deeper parts of self in our effort to move toward wholeness.
The types of experiences we can have in a breathwork session span a broad spectrum and are guided by the Inner Healer that is present in each of us; the aspect of self that is consistently attempting to move us toward healing and wholeness. When the psyche feels safe enough, it will bring forward whatever unresolved issues are needed for healing at this time. This method has the potential to access “cellular memory” where any suffering that still exists in body/mind resides as well as carry us into the expansive collective mind of humanity that is connected to universal spiritual teachings. This process provides a setting for individuals to utilize the healing potential of expanded states of consciousness in a way that allows for sustainable change.
Breathwork Process
Breathwork Components
Breath
In this practice, the breath is the vehicle that moves you into an expanded state of consciousness. There is not a specific technique as you often find in yogic and breathwork practices, but simply a deeper faster breath without pauses in between the inhale and exhale. This circular breathing helps oxygenate the body and coupled with the music begins to move you into your personal journey.
Music
Loud evocative music accompanies the breath and is designed to assist your journey into the inner worlds. The frequency of the music works with the natural vibration of the physical body and moves you through various levels of inner consciousness. The music enhances your ability to connect internally with the energy of the issues that need healing at this time.
Mandala Art Work
Following your breathing session, you have the opportunity to create symbolic artwork as a nonverbal expression of your experience. This process provides a way to anchor and express your experience in expanded consciousness and signals the beginning of integrating the work into ordinary consciousness.
Psychospiritual Group Process
Following the breathwork sessions, we will come together in a smaller group to give you an opportunity to begin putting words to your experience and continue to integrate your experience. You will be able to process as little or as much content as you would like.

If you are feeling…
If you’re feeling stuck , breathwork can help shake things loose. It clears the mental fog and blocked energy that’s keeping you from moving forward, opening up new paths and possibilities.
When you’re feeling numb, breathwork gently brings you back into connection with your body and emotions. It helps you safely release the feelings you’ve been holding in, making you feel more alive and in touch with yourself.
When everything feels too much, breathwork gives you space to breathe again—literally. It expands your capacity that helps your nervous system process the excess energy and move into a state of calm and balance.
If you feel shut down, breathwork gently helps you thaw out and reconnect to your inner world. You will be able to experience to the underlying sensations and emotions that had been stuck in a manageable way and help restore a sense of aliveness.
