What is Breathwork and How Does it Work?

Breathwork is a powerful healing modality that has been used for thousands of years by cultures all across the globe. In recent years, research and evidence have shown how it works. Breathwork uses intentional, circular breathing to activate our bodies, access altered states of consciousness, shift emotional patterns, and support physical, mental, and spiritual healing.

Breathwork creates a purposeful shift in oxygen and carbon dioxide balance, creates change in our autonomic nervous system, and alters our brain waves. This process can catalyze profound emotional processing and clarity, help us break through internal barriers, and support our body’s innate capacity to heal.

Working with a trained Breathwork Practitioner allows you to: 

  • Safely explore deep emotional states with guidance and support.
  • Access and process stored emotions, memories, or trauma in a non-verbal, somatic way.
  • Break free from old patterns and limiting beliefs by accessing the subconscious mind. confidently move past challenges
  • Experience transformation, empowerment, and emotional resilience through therapeutic altered states of consciousness.
  • Feel supported through vulnerable emotional processes, held in a safe and regulated space.

Breathwork has been shown to support a wide range of mental, emotional, and physical symptoms, including: 

  • Stress, anxiety, and burnout 
  • Depression or low mood 
  • Emotional numbness or overwhelm 
  • Unprocessed grief, anger, or trauma 
  • Disconnection from self or purpose 
  • Physical symptoms tied to chronic stress (e.g., fatigue, digestive issues, tension) 
  • Creative or spiritual blockages 
  • Feeling stuck in repetitive thought or behavior patterns 

Each session begins with a check-in to understand your intentions and current emotional landscape. You’ll then be guided through a specific breathwork technique—often involving a circular, connected breathing pattern—designed to activate the body and nervous system in a safe and intentional way. During the breathwork journey, you may experience: 

  • Emotional release 
  • Somatic sensations (tingling, warmth, movement) 
  • Visions or memories 
  • A sense of unity, stillness, or transcendence 
  • Shifts in perception or meaning 

You are fully supported throughout the process, and space is held for integration, reflection, and grounding afterward.
