I am a holistic psychotherapist who uses somatic psychotherapy and breathwork to activate the healing process for my clients. 

Breathwork, Awareness, and Meditation are the type of therapy session that focuses on coming back into your body to help move the painful emotions that get stuck during experiences. Trauma isn't fully processed until it's released through the body. Your body will hold onto fragments of trauma which will continue to cause health and relationship issues. 

Together we use breathwork, different breathing patterns, and techniques to reach deeper within yourself and your state of being. Breathwork helps us come back into our bodies and explore our inner world. Your inner world might hold immense about of pain, sadness, anger, shame, or guilt, to name a few. Breathwork is the first step to intimately understanding your healing journey. Breathwork allows you to reach the energetic component of emotions, which continues to trigger us when it is not expressed. 

For instance, I work with some clients on holotropic breathing. Holotropic breathing is a controlled practice that involves increasing your breathing pattern. This increased breathing pattern influences your mental, emotional, and physical states. This breathing technique expands your awareness and state of consciousness around yourself, your environment, experiences, etc. It allows you to reach deeper within yourself and identify stagnant energy/tension within yourself. 

This stored tension could be contributing to or worsening mental and emotional stress. Together I will help you breathe back into your body and use your body as a map to your healing. It is essential to release, express, and externalize the energy and emotions within our mind, body, and spirit. Once these unconscious and subconscious energetic and emotional blockages are released, it creates space for the healing to begin consciously.
