More details on Yin Breathwork:

After spending many years facilitating a more active/yang style called circular-connected breathing, I found it did not resonate anymore for many reasons. After a year long training with Kathleen Barrett of Restorative Breathwork, I have incorporated many aspects of her style with other parts of my own journey into the breath. It is a deeply feminine approach that creates space for the intelligence within the breath to organically unwind tensions, integrate repressed emotions, and access deep states of stillness. It works at a pace that the nervous system can integrate as well, so the shifts are sustainable.

I hold these sessions in our outdoor healing hut, a private sanctuary with surrounding mountain views. There is a mattress pad on the ground where I will be sitting next to you. A wood burning stove keeps it cozy in the colder months.

These sessions allow space and trust for the wisdom of the moment. It is a space to feel loved and held as you are, without any energy of trying to fix, heal or improve. We will both give loving presence to whatever is wanting to be seen and supported.

I usually weave in different forms of guidance and loving touch/energy work. I also love to bring in plant allies such as rose, tulsi, pine, marigold, yarrow, etc. I almost always offer some kind of body scan to support in deeply relaxing, along with natural smokes like sweetgrass or pine resin to help purify and offer blessings. We can incorporate as much or as little breath guidance that feels resonate.
