My Story
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.
