A's to Your Q's

A straight-to-the-point resource with clear, science-backed answers to your biggest questions about breathwork and the SHIFT method. No fluff—just the facts you need to understand how breathwork helps you move from pain to healing.

what is breathwork?

Breathwork is breathing—sounds simple, right?

But when done with intention, it becomes a powerful tool for transformation. Breathwork is a science-backed practice that shifts you out of an overactive, analytical state and into deep connection with your body. It helps regulate your nervous system, process stored emotions, and create space for self-healing. By using the breath as a focal point, you quiet the mental noise, access deeper layers of your emotional and physical experience, and foster a greater sense of clarity, calm, and relief.

how do I practice it?

Even if you’re new to breathwork, I’ll guide you every step of the way, creating a safe space for exploration.

Our SHIFT Breathwork method uses a conscious, connected breathing pattern while lying down. This three-part technique involves inhaling into the belly, then the chest, followed by a steady exhale—all in a continuous, circular rhythm. This controlled breath pattern optimizes oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, helping to regulate your nervous system and release stored emotions. Science supports breathwork’s ability to reduce stress, improve respiratory and immune function, and enhance emotional resilience. When practiced with intention, it becomes a powerful tool for transformation, healing, and self-discovery.

what will I experience?

Every breathwork session is unique—your breath meets you where you are and guides you to where you want to be.

Right now, you might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. Breathwork helps you shift out of that state by unlocking stored emotions, releasing tension, and calming your nervous system. Physically, you may experience tingling, warmth, or an energizing rush as oxygen floods your system. Emotionally, breathwork can bring clarity, relief, or deep catharsis—helping you move through stress, grief, or anxiety toward a sense of peace and empowerment.

This isn’t just about relaxation; it’s about transformation. By breaking free from old patterns, you'll step into a more embodied, resilient, and aligned version of yourself.

how will this help me?

Breathwork helps you process what’s been holding you back—so it no longer controls you.

If you feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed, this practice helps you move through those emotions rather than being ruled by them. Breathwork allows you to integrate past experiences, stored emotions, and stress in a way that brings balance to your nervous system. Instead of pushing things away, you’ll learn to process them fully, so they no longer dictate your thoughts, feelings, or reactions.

Through this work, you’ll shift from fear, grief, and stress into clarity, groundedness, and vitality. It’s not just about temporary relief—it’s about lasting transformation, giving you the tools to navigate life with more resilience, freedom, and self-trust.

I'm nervous for what might come up

Feeling nervous? That’s completely normal.

Breathwork can bring emotions to the surface, but you are always in control. This isn’t about forcing anything—it’s about meeting yourself with curiosity and compassion. If something comes up, we work with it gently, allowing you to process and integrate emotions in a way that feels safe and supportive.

You set the pace. You can slow down, take breaks, or adjust as needed. My role is to guide you through the process and create a space where you feel held, not overwhelmed. Trust that your breath will only take you as deep as you're ready to go, and that every session is an opportunity for growth, healing, and empowerment.
