What is Somatic Breathwork?

Breath as life force energy

The beautiful thing about breathwork is that it is so simple and effective. We already have everything we need to do it, and it is accessible to anyone, anywhere. Breathing is automatic, but it also isn't. We can work with the breath for our wellbeing.

My roots as a practitioner are in Yoga, where the breath is called Prana, or "life force energy". How beautiful to think that each inhale and exhale is sacred.

Somatic Breathwork is about moving that energy through the body. You may have heard that "the body keeps the score". In my experience, and from the testimony of many others, we hold a lot in our bodies, and we thrive when we release through the body.

The breathing pattern is done through the mouth, which activates the movement of energy. Throughout the experience I use hands-on body work to assist, if you wish. My role is to hold safe space, offer gentle guidance and support whatever your experience brings forth.

It is often a good fit if you are living with stress or burnout, if something in your life feels stuck or stagnant, or if you simply want to reconnect with yourself.

Many people find Somatic Breathwork supports emotional release, stress reduction, nervous system balance and relief from physical tension. Each experience is as unique as the individual.
