The breath is the gateway to taking back control of our autonomic nervous systems. Fight or flight (sympathetic) vs. Rest and digest (parasympathetic).
It is the literal light switch to fluctuate between the two.

In this session, we will learn tools and techniques to help regain control of our nervous system and unlock healing that we never knew before.

We will then take a deeper dive into the breath where we will unlock emotions, traumas, and energy that has been suppressed so that we can feel, heal and experience true freedom from within.

Detox: Breathwork releases toxins from the body and provides powerful health benefits from increased energy and immunity to reduced inflammation.

Trauma release: Breathwork is helpful for people from a wide variety of backgrounds and life experiences and can assist in individuals in processing traumatic past experiences, resulting in an increase in wellbeing, confidence, inner clarity, and emotional freedom.

The quality of our breathing greatly impacts our experience of daily life and is intimately connected to our state of consciousness. change your breath and you can change your life.

The Science of Sound: Once in this deep and receptive state, you will then be bathed in an array of instruments and ancient tools that have been used in sound therapy for centuries, including an array of singing bowls, a monochord, drums, wind instruments and a gong. A main tool used in sound therapy is the Tibetan Singing Bowls, they are said to balance both hemispheres of the brain bringing it into a Theta state this allows the physical body to relax while the subtle frequencies of the bowls work to clear blockages in the energy body with each of the bowls resonating to match frequencies of each of the seven main Chakras of the body to bring the body as a whole back into a state of balance and harmony. Sound Therapy is known as a form of Theta Healing, Theta Healing is a meditative technique conducted while the client and practitioner are in a theta state, an altered state of consciousness where brainwaves are slowed to a relaxed and hypnotic state. The sound vibrations are said to work with advanced science; and quantum physics to aid the movement of energy, atoms and physical particles to allow the body the conditions it needs to replenish and restore.
