Take a breath.
Let your shoulders soften.
Arrive.
Welcome
​​
If you’re arriving here, you may be moving through significant change - a life transition, relationship ending, a new direction, midlife or menopause, or else you may be struggling with the lingering impacts of trauma and lived experience. Perhaps something within you is ready for more space, more truth, more wholeness.​
​
Or perhaps you are seeking breathwork or a breathwork facilitator training that is ethical, trauma-informed, grounded in science, and guided by spirit.
This is a sanctuary for healing, learning, and authentic growth - a place where body, mind, heart, and spirit are honoured as wise and interconnected. Here, we move gently, intentionally, and with reverence for your lived story and your becoming. You are warmly welcome here.
