Maybe wellness has become one more thing to manage.
You've got the morning routine down. You know to take a deep breath when things get tense. You've got a grounding technique for the spiral, a journal for the negative thoughts, maybe a meditation app that reminds you to slow down.
And you're still reactive.
You catch yourself doing the thing you swore you'd stop doing: saying yes when you mean no, scrolling to take the edge off, yelling at your kids, snapping at your partner over something small.
You know the tools, routines, and practices. You know how to keep pushing through your life and taking on more. But underneath your nervous system is running hot or shut down. You’re stuck in cycles of overwhelm and keeping yourself to busy to slow down and feel.
This work is for people who know, somewhere underneath it all, that something has to give.
WHY Breathwork?
People come to these sessions carrying a lot of different things — anxiety, grief, relational wounds, a sense of disconnection from themselves or the people they love. Some have done therapy for years and feel like something still hasn't moved. Some have tried other breathwork and found it too much. Some just know something needs to shift and don't know where else to turn.
What they have in common is a readiness to slow down and listen to what the body has been trying to say.
WHat is regenerative breathwork?
Most breathwork you'll encounter is intense by design — big breathing, big releases, big experiences. And there's a place for that. But after years of working with people carrying complex trauma, I kept seeing the same thing: the intensity was too much. Clients were dissociating, shutting down, or moving through things so fast they couldn't integrate what had happened. They'd have a cathartic release in a session and feel no different a week later.
What I also noticed was that most of us are already sympathetically dominant — our nervous systems are already running fast. Adding more intensity on top of that can feel potent in the moment, but it isn't the same as healing. Peak experiences are incredible and they don’t create sustainable change.
I wanted something different. Something that worked with the nervous system rather than over it. Something that could help me become less reactive, more trusting of my body and intuition, and something that could help me start to feel safe enough to slow down.
So I started training with the Somatic Experiencing Institute, studying Neuroaffective Touch, sitting with the work of Internal Family Systems, feminist psychology, and pre and perinatal trauma. Out of all of that, Regenerative Breathwork™ emerged.
It's gentle. It's relational. And it's specifically designed to downshift an overworked nervous system rather than push it further into override.
How sessions work
Sessions are 50 minutes, conducted via Zoom. Each one is built around what you're bringing that day — we'll begin by checking in, then move into breathwork practices designed specifically for you, followed by time for integration.
This work tends to deepen over time. A single session can open something meaningful, but the real shifts happen in a series, as your nervous system builds capacity and trust in the process.
