What Is Breathwork?

I get asked this question a lot. <3

At its core, Breathwork is an ancient, body-based practice that's been used across cultures for meditation, healing, and self-regulation. It's simple, powerful, and, when guided with care, remarkably effective at helping the body release stored stress, emotion, and tension. 

We live in a world that keeps our nervous systems on high alert. Many of us get stuck in fight-or-flight without even realizing it, and over time that can show up as pain, exhaustion, anxiety, or a feeling of being disconnected from ourselves. Healing begins when the body feels safe enough to soften. Breathwork helps create that internal safety, allowing the parasympathetic nervous system to come online so our system can do what it already knows how to do: restore balance. 

Breathwork isn't about forcing transformation or chasing peak experiences. It's about listening to the body, working with our nervous system, and creating space for what's ready to shift- at your pace, in your own way. 

There are multiple flavors and styles of breathwork and there's sure to be one that's perfect for you! Part of my work is helping people find an approach that feels supportive, accessible, and sustainable for them. =)

If you're curious, you're welcome to follow my YouTube channel (Phoenix Fire Breathwork) where I share techniques and meditations you can practice at home.

I also host group sessions monthly.  You can find them in my calendar below, in my scheduler, or by following my socials. Group Breathwork carries a unique kind of magic- the shared field, the quiet courage, the way each person's presence strengthens the whole. If you feel the pull, I'd love to breathe with you.
