Our breath is our greatest ally, available to us to utilize and participate with our consciousness, as it is the most incredible personalized resource, teacher, and healer for any ailment, stress, and fears. It also offers us support to be in our peak physical capacities and to integrate our most delighted, ecstatic states.
This range of possibility ables us to be most alive, if we can free our breathing pattern to be most open and capable.
For us to discover more about who we are, becoming aware of where our ‘breathing pattern’ might limit us and could become more opened and free, is a profound asset to give us access to the core of our vital authentic expression.

ॐ What to expect in a session:
A somatic breath journey is a personal experience where you tour your inner landscape, with observance of the impermanent nature of all that arises. With radical acceptance of what is, deeply breathing to cultivate a parasympathetic state of relaxation.
The breath is done through an activated rhythm without pauses, like a wave. It is a gentle and powerful circular breathing practice that has unlimited benefits. We focus on the inhale to our fullest, with a natural surrendering of the exhale, however when their are feelings that we do not wish to feel, we often tighten or hold our breath, so as a facilitator we aim to aid in supporting those tight spots to release and find freedom.
This courageous endeavour is for those who are willing to dive into the subtler layers of their bodies, emotions and psyche, observing the motion that happens within, potentially stirring up the need for sounds expressed or tears.
All feelings are welcome here. This is an opportunity to be held as you are, in a safe container, and trust the healing process that takes place within allowing another full breath cycle. There are many methods of healing tools provided in your experience that I work with, from a full spectrum of chakra tuning forks, drums, rattles, smudge, energy healing and inspirational music.
“The deeper we breathe, the more we can feel.
The more we can feel, the more we can heal.”
About Breathwave
Breathwave is founded by my teacher, Robin Clements, taught by Judith Kravitz, who was taught through Stan Grof's Holotropic Breathwork who was taught by Baba G from India.
Breathwave is a conscious, connective breath journey cultivated by a circular breathing pattern without pauses and aims toward a gentle, responsive technique that works primarily with the nervous system relaxing into a parasympathetic state to cultivate homeostasis.
There are significant differences in this approach compared to a holotropic breathwork session: Breathwave specifically asks a client to soften and relax each exhale and release holding patterns, while holotropic breathwork invigorates the exhale.
Breath Patterns
Each of us has our own unique way of breathing that has been learned through our life experiences.
How we breathe is
how we’ve learned to respond to life.
We all start off as babies breathing deeply and fully through a natural relaxed belly. Over time, with entrainment to our parents and those closest to us, we learn through our experiences how to move through stressful times in our lives on a subtle level of holding patterns of tension in our breath and bodies, based on nervous system responses to our environment.
Control or Holding Patterns function as a response to painful or scary times in our lives. When we hold our breath, tightening our chest for protection, our shoulders lift and tense which builds knots. This is how we brace ourselves for trouble… It’s a common response, one example of many forms of holding tension and how our breath links into the body. This is called the psycho-somatic relationship.
So when the breath holds, and our chest tightens, and body begins to relate to certain patterns in our lives with this reactionary response- building muscular knots or ailments, shallow breathing, if it is not balanced out with a conscious relaxation technique, it becomes a chronic condition.
Unconsciously, the reaction of the sympathetic nervous system in fight-flight-freeze response will preserve our energy, which can put a cap on the emotional energy, (as well as life energy) and over time without the balancing out of the parasympathetic nervous system (rest & digest), these prolonged states become one’s personality, and physically engrained in our disposition… until we learn, and seek out counterbalancing measures… such as Breathwave, a circular breathing technique which targets the parasympathetic state of consciousness, coupled with a forms of yoga, in which ‘yog’ means ‘to yoke’ the mind-body-spirit (breath).
