Breathwork for Release
Trauma, tension and emotional release using Breathwork with Energetic Bodywork
What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a simple yet powerful modality for the body to release stress and tensions, safely process old traumas, heal physical ailments and chronic conditions, restore the mind-body connection, as well as gain transformational insights. By bringing us into a meditative, non-ordinary state, breathwork is also an incredible anchor for busy minds. It also helps us release stuck energy that keeps our nervous system in a state of threat and alert, so that we can access more of ourselves, reconnecting with the lightness and expansiveness of our bodies.
With breathwork we can access the wisdom in our bodies beyond our minds and breathe into a state where doubts, fears, old patterns, reactivity and societal programming fall away. The breath is a journey of releasing, stillness, rewriting your narrative, imagining new possibilities, remembering your essence and feeling our togetherness. Breathwork is journey back to ourselves.

How does it work?
Technique
Conscious Connected Breath
The main technique I use is the Conscious Connected Breath, which is when we breathe in a circular pattern with no interruptions between the inhale and the exhale. In my sessions I also combine a mix of breathwork techniques that inspire me, from ancient yogic pranayama to Tibetan Tummo breathing and more. My journeys are guided intuitively.
Safety
The importance of the container
What you get out of the breathwork journey will depend most importantly on the safety of the container. The energy of the facilitator, as well as how you feel with the people around you (if it is a group session). The safer you feel in your body, with your breath, and with your guide, the more you will be able to surrender to the experience and release.
Energetic Bodywork
Energy healing and bodywork
I use bodywork to facilitate emotional release. I work with the chakras, energy healing and fascia, inspired by Human Garage, the Neo-Emotional Release method, and trigger-point release.
Breath combined with touch is a potent combination for allowing the body to express what has been suppressed.
Things to know
Preparation and integration
If it is your first time, come with an open mind and no expectations. How much you get from the experience will depend also on proper preparation and integration. Do not eat too close to the session, and make sure you rest, ground and nourish your body afterwards. If difficult things come up to be worked through, get the support that you need.
Choosing a session
Private 1-1 session
Duration: 90 minutes
Available: Online & In-Person
A 1-1 session allows me to focus on you the entire time, meaning that I can guide the journey and intensity based on your specific needs and situation. This is a perfect choice for you if you want a profound release of known tensions and traumas stuck in the body, as I can do energy work and bodywork for just you throughout the whole duration. I will focus on the specific areas in the body that you want to clear. Energy healing works from a distance, so you can breathe in the comfort of your own home as I guide you online. However, bodywork can obviously only be done in-person. Some people prefer the privacy and depth of private sessions compared to group workshops.
