How did you decide to become Breath Service Provider?
After completing several trauma trainings I realized breathwork workers as a natural medicine for the body and nervous system. I trained in a trauma-informed approach to guide people back to remembering their wholeness through the breath.

What guiding principles inform your work?
The body is the healer, everything we need is within, informed by Breathwork techniques, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, attachment theory, developmental skills, and generative somatics.
Can you tell us more about your specialties?
I create space by meeting each individual, and their NS, right where they are. Recognizing some breathing techniques are useful for some but not all. I offer a collaboration with the client to help them build up their own safety, support, and resilience.

What will our first session together be like?
Our first session will be parts getting to know one another, learning about how the breath effects the body in healing, maintaining, and recovery. Likely a brief overview of different patterns to see how the body tolerates activation, and some breath. Unless the client is well versed in breathwork the breathing would be a shorter session to begin with.
Are there any books you often recommend to clients?
Breath by James Nestor, Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine, It Didn't Start with you by Mark Wolynn (I have tons of book recommends)
How can I prepare for our first session?
Drink plenty of water the day leading up to the session, minimize water intake about an hour before, don't eat just before breathwork, wear comfortable clothing, have a cozy space where you feel safe and/or comfortable. Optional things would be having a journal, blanket, eye mask, a place where you can recline back or lay down to be supported.

What clientele do you work with most frequently?
All are welcome in my practice, I have worked with men, women, groups, couples, and typically specifically people who have experienced, or are experiencing trauma.
What do you find most rewarding about your work?
Helping humans heal, build their own toy-box or toolkit, create the life they long for, recover, overcome, live in their truth, understand and connect with their own body are all rewarding aspects of my work, but I would say the most rewarding piece is the generative aspect, the ripple of well-being through generations that is created when we pass down our healing instead of our untended trauma.
How long do clients typically see you for?
Some people come for a series, some work with me for months or years, some do a bulk of processing and then return for maintenance and ongoing self-care. It all depends on the individual.
Do you assign "homework" between sessions?
If it is supportive to the clients journey
What happens in ongoing sessions?
In ongoing sessions, we will discuss intentions, desired outcomes, and specific areas or material to process, and we will have a curated session to include breathwork and other somatic practices.
How do you help ensure I'm making progress?
There is a constant dialogue and check-ins; healing only happens if there are transitions, shifts, growth, etc.
