What is Breathwork?

There are many different kinds of breathwork out there available to you. The breathwork that you will practice with me is from the Body of Breath method taught by Ashley Ludman. This method is a trauma-informed, somatically based approach that was influenced by tantric philosophy, yoga, and science.

Breathwork sessions are a somatic, body-based experience using conscious connected circular breathing, or parasympathetic breathing, or a personalized blend of both depending on the needs of the individual. The experience can gently shift your nervous system and sometimes guide you into non-ordinary states of consciousness where deeper insight, emotional release, and healing can occur.

This work supports nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and greater embodied self-awareness. Clients often gain clarity around unconscious patterns, release stuck emotions, and cultivate greater self-acceptance, intuition, and personal empowerment. It is a powerful tool for creating meaningful changes in one’s life. Each session is tailored to your unique needs and may also include assisted stretching to help release physical tension, creating more space in the body for deeper emotional release and integration.

Additional benefits can include:

Release of chronic pain stuck in the body
Improved respiratory health
Helpful for lung cancer survivors, asthmatics, people susceptible to bronchitis and the flu
Improved lung capacity
Restoring greater trust in your inner-wisdom
Restoring resilience and empowerment
Greater ability to break negative patterns
Creating safety and support for exploring shadows with greater compassion and self-acceptance

Access your own inner healing intelligence

Breathwork is an ancient process for healing that continues to be used to this day by modern healers.

Each persons experience is unique and unfolds on its own. Like other practices your experience will be its best definition.
