Breathwork for Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, and More…
Many clients come to me struggling with emotions like anxiety, fear, apathy, and resentment. They may have tried therapy in the past, but wanted to do more than talk in circles…
“Talk therapy” wasn’t working for them…
They weren’t making progress each week. And they were feeling more stuck than ever.
Interestingly, “talking it out” isn’t always the most effective way to heal.
This is where breathwork shines.
Breathwork allows us to go directly into your body and release the emotions that have been stored for years or decades.
Recent research shows how emotions are stored in our body. So by working with the breath, we can bring these emotions up and out, so you can gain relief.
If you want the power to:
- Process painful emotions
- Feel truly present with your loved ones
- Enjoy life without the weight of trauma and stress of overthinking
Breathwork may be able to help.
After all, you deserve a happy, healthy, and satisfying life. Will you allow me to guide you there?

On the Therapeutic Power of Breathwork
It’s genuinely powerful for healing your nervous system
I had no prior knowledge of breathwork, felt open to the experience, and was looking forward to the unknown of it. I felt challenged, cheered on, and supported. My body felt good and my release felt powerful and cathartic in a way that continues to create nervous system space for me.

Breathwork FAQs
Breathwork is a practice that uses controlled breathing techniques to influence your mental, emotional, and physical state. It activates the nervous system, reduces stress, and promotes emotional release by increasing oxygen flow and awareness.
It’s possible. Breathwork can unlock suppressed emotions, and crying is a natural way to release them. This reaction is a sign of healing and self-expression. But there is no judgment here. I know that crying is a good thing, as it helps our nervous system release heavy emotional burdens.
Breathwork helps process and release stored emotional trauma by calming the nervous system and accessing deeper emotional layers. While not a standalone therapy, it can complement other trauma-healing practices.
Shaking during breathwork is often a physical release of pent-up energy or emotions stored in the body. It’s a natural response to letting go of tension and stress. While it can feel unusual at first, many clients come to accept and flow with their bodies’ natural responses. You are in control of your breath, so you can slow your breathing at any time if you’re uncomfortable. And I will be there to guide you the entire time.
During breathwork, controlled breathing patterns stimulate the body in several ways. For one, increased oxygen flow. Other ways include emotional release, nervous system regulation, and stress reduction. This can create a sense of relaxation and wellbeing.
The goal of breathwork is to promote self-awareness, reduce stress, and support emotional and physical healing. It fosters a deeper connection to yourself and a sense of inner balance. It can help you get out of your overthinking mind and back into your body. It’s remarkably effective.
Breathwork taps into the subconscious, where suppressed emotions are stored. By opening up these emotional layers, it allows for profound release, healing, and self-discovery.
I offer guided breathwork for $310 per session. New clients join for weekly sessions and appreciate seeing the progress of meeting regularly within the first several sessions. We can discuss options during the free initial consultation.
Getting started is easy! Contact me to schedule your free consultation. I’m always open to meeting new clients and would love to help you take the next step in your healing journey.
