Breathing: the most natural thing we do
From the moment we’re born to the moment we leave this world, we breathe. It's automatic — so automatic, in fact, that we rarely stop to think about how we breathe, or what it might mean to breathe consciously.
Breathwork is the practice of doing exactly that: using intentional, conscious breathing techniques to influence our physical, emotional, and mental state.
“Breathwork is one of the fastest ways I know to get out of the head and into the body.”
A timeless practice with modern relevance
While the term breathwork might feel new, the practice itself is ancient. Yogic traditions like Pranayama, Buddhist meditation, Taoist practices, and Indigenous healing systems have all used breath as a tool for clarity, regulation, and transformation for thousands of years.
Today, breathwork is becoming popular again because it offers something many of us are missing: a simple, powerful, and accessible way to regulate our nervous system, connect with ourselves, and process what we carry — all without needing anything outside of ourselves.
What breathwork really means
Breathwork is not one single technique — it’s a term that encompasses many different practices. Some are slow and calming, others are deep and activating. At its core, breathwork is about conscious breathing — shifting from automatic breath to intentional awareness.
There are two broad categories I work with:
Functional breathwork
Short daily practices (3–15 minutes) that help improve how we breathe in everyday life. These can support:
Nervous system regulation
Stress resilience
Improved focus, sleep, and overall well-being
Transformational breathwork
Longer sessions (typically 45–90 minutes) using deeper, connected breathing to enter non-ordinary states of consciousness. These sessions may support:
Emotional release
Trauma integration
Insight, clarity, and inner healing
A sense of reconnection with self and spirit
“It helps release what’s stuck — even without needing to understand or explain it.”
Why I use breathwork
In my own life, breathwork has become one of the most powerful and consistent tools I return to. Unlike many therapeutic or coaching modalities that work through the mind and language — breathwork bypasses that. It reaches the parts of us that thinking alone can’t access.
That’s why breathwork plays a central role in my work today. In my sessions, my objective is to focus on both aspects: supporting better everyday breathing and creating space for deep, transformative work.
“The breath brings us home — again and again — to what’s real, what’s true, and what’s ready to move.”
