I have extensive training in breathwork, having completed my Level One certification with Pause Breathwork, a leading global training program. This rigorous six-month program required participation in weekly course instruction and breathwork sessions in addition to a 60-hour practicum. I also hold a Level Two certification from Pause Breathwork, which is a week-long, in-person training in San Diego covering advanced breathwork styles, somatic techniques, and energetics. I’m one of only 200 people worldwide with this certification. Additionally, I continue my professional growth through weekly coaching with my mentor and participation in a group mastermind with 30 other breathwork facilitators and healers.

I don’t just teach this work—I live it. My approach is rooted in embodiment, meaning I practice the same tools I guide my clients through. This allows me to hold space in a way that is authentic, grounded, and deeply impactful—your energy will begin to shift simply by being in the session.

My training is also trauma-informed, so your safety is always the first priority. Before we explore what’s stored in your body, I help you create the safety and stability needed to gently release it.

During breathwork, energy moves through the body, which can lead to both physical and emotional sensations. A common physical effect is tetany, an involuntary muscle contraction that causes tingling, often in the fingers. You might also feel shaky, experience temperature shifts, or even feel the urge to be vocal or shout. Emotionally, a wide range of feelings may surface—from tears to laughter—and it’s all perfectly okay. Everything that comes up is welcome and part of the process!

Preparing for a somatic coaching session, whether on Zoom or in person, is simple:

• Wear comfortable clothes
• Find a space where you will be comfortable lying down for an hour--floor, couch, bed, etc. No driving or sitting in/near water.
• Feel free to use blankets and a low pillow. You can also use essential oils and crystals if you'd like.
• Avoid eating or drinking 30 minutes prior to the session to prevent nausea.
• If you're joining on Zoom, set up your camera so I can clearly see you during the session.

Both in-person and virtual sessions are equally effective! The only difference with an in-person session is that I can incorporate light hands-on touch for those comfortable with it. For instance, I might place my hands on your head to draw energy to your crown chakra or gently touch near your heart space if I sense you need additional support releasing energy.
