My Story

I didn't set out to find breathwork. I found it when I needed a way back to myself.

I spent years working in Facilities and Employee Experience at global tech organizations, building the kind of environments where people felt supported and connected, when I realized I wasn't giving that same care to myself.

I was living almost entirely in my head, quietly losing touch with my body. And when you're that disconnected, emotions find their way out in unexpected ways — tears over a Slack message, anger over a completely reasonable request. If you've ever felt burnt out in a corporate environment, you probably get it.

When I discovered Somatic Breathwork, something shifted. I began rebuilding my relationship with my body, learning to feel my emotions instead of pushing them away, and giving myself the same support I'd spent years giving everyone else.

I became more present. More grounded. And when stress shows up, I now have more space to pause, tune into what's happening, and choose how I respond rather than automatically reacting.

Breathwork helped me find my way back to myself at a time when I really needed it. It also changed how I think about supporting others. Today, I'm grateful to create space for people to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and find new ways to navigate whatever life brings their way.

WILD

STILL

Life is wild. And so are we. Living fully is about embracing the full spectrum of being human — grief, joy, anger, excitement, uncertainty, and everything in between.

In our sessions, we create space to feel and allow ourselves to express what we've been carrying, rather than pushing it down, controlling it, or trying to think our way through it.

Still doesn't mean being calm all the time. It's about developing a different relationship with what we experience. The goal isn't to eliminate activation, but to build the capacity to move through it.

We practice noticing when we're activated, listening to what our bodies are telling us, and returning to a sense of safety and regulation. The more we practice, the more familiar that return can become.
