What Is Breathwork?

I get asked this question all the time! Breathwork is a tool that has been used by many cultures worldwide for meditation and healing. It's safe and very effective for releasing mental and physical pain. 

We live in a stress-filled world, and we can get stuck in fight or flight response, causing dis-ease and disruption of our natural flow. It's our job to create a safe, peaceful space within in order for our parasympathetic nervous system to engage, allowing for healing to occur. Breathwork is just one way to do this, and it happens to be my favorite. ;) 

There are multiple flavors and styles of breathwork and there's sure to be one that's perfect for you! You can follow my YouTube channel (Phoenix Fire Breathwork) to learn breathwork techniques and to follow along on our adventures!

I host several group events monthly.  You can find them in my calendar below, in my scheduler, or follow Phoenix Fire Breathwork on Facebook or phoenix.fire.breathwork on Instagram to stay informed. There's something absolutely magical about the energy and support of a group. Everyone who attends adds a special ingredient. I hope you'll join us soon!




About Me

I have a history of trauma, and in my own healing journey I have found breathwork to be the fastest, most effective way to release trapped emotions and trauma from body and mind. You don't need to understand it, rehash it or figure it out; you just need to be willing to surrender to the process and to let it go. 

When I learned to just be in the present moment, free from judgement, allowing whatever IS to BE, something magical happened! Old programs unraveled. Outdated belief systems fell away. Self-acceptance flowed in, and from that loving awareness, a beautiful space for healing was created. It completely changed my life!

Like the Phoenix, I've rebirthed myself from the ashes of my life many times. I've journeyed through and have healed from ancestral patterns of poverty, depression, anxiety, addiction, domestic violence and sexual abuse.  My passion is helping others get in tune with their innate wisdom, facilitating transformation and igniting expansion and growth in their own lives, in their own ways. I believe that we all have the keys to our healing within us. I LOVE helping people access and utilize their keys!

Testimonials:

"This was my first breathwork session and it was wonderful! Cindy was warm and welcoming. I felt right at home. We sat down and talked for a few minutes about what to expect and what might take place. She made it very clear that anything i needed to express or say was totally okay. At one point during our session, I cried a little and she held my hand. That was very sweet. Cindy is a great guide, she's kind, genuine, warm and caring. Can't wait to have another session! I highly recommend!" ~Nancy S.


"Cindy is a Master at her breathwork sessions. I did a 10-series and they just built on one another. Each time I was able to go deeper faster and experience more healing.
