My Story

Empowering breathwork guide with long silver hair and warm smile, offering grounded support and soulful care

My journey with the breath actually began many years ago. My brother and sister had chronic asthma growing up. Buteyko breathing was prescribed to help them in their recovery. I started practicing Yoga with my family at the age of eleven. The poses were fun and challenging for us, especially the breathing, which I believe set my foundation for my commitment to overall wellness. I was a very aware at a young age that one had to take care of the body. Ballet, gymnastics and health were among my greatest passions as I grew up. These practices have forever instilled a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection, inspiring me today to share this knowledge with others.

Years later, a profound experience unfolded during a meditation session at a sound healing class. Unexpectedly, chanting 'OM' and practicing mindful breathing triggered a deep release of rooted trauma. This cathartic episode propelled me into exploring an uncharted territory within me, where I discovered conscious connected breathwork. I confronted unresolved issues from my past—feelings of abandonment and instances of sexual assault as a young girl. With courage and the power of my breath, I delved into the shadows of my mind, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and healing. This process allowed me to soothe my inner child, reshaping my feelings and thoughts around my trauma, ultimately rediscovering a better sense of worthiness and self-love.

My mission today is to share the transformative power of the breath, helping individuals find strength, resilience, and healing within themselves just as I did. Through my own personal experiences and ongoing study, I am dedicated to supporting others on their path to healing and self-discovery.
