HERE + HELD WAIVER
-- The Invitation --
Breathwork is a powerful modality that opens doors to deep physical, emotional, and energetic landscapes. By entering this practice, you are choosing to navigate your inner world through the power of your own breath. To ensure you are held safely during this experience, please read and acknowledge the following.-- Medical Considerations --
This practice is not recommended for individuals with the following conditions:Cardiovascular Issues
High blood pressure (uncontrolled), history of heart attack, stroke, or cardiovascular surgery.Neurological Concerns

If you are currently pregnant.-- Inherent Physicality --
During the session, you may experience "Tetany" (temporary cramping or tingling in the hands and feet), dizziness, or intense emotional release. These are common physiological responses to the shift in carbon dioxide levels and are generally considered safe, but you are the primary steward of your body. If at any point you feel unsafe, you agree to slow your breath or stop.-- Personal Sovereignty & Responsibility --

WELCOME
I've always been a seeker. I've explored the modalities, read the books, and sat in so many workshops -- "doing the work" intellectually but still navigating the same karmic loops, patiently waiting for an external shift that never quite arrived.Then, I found breathwork.In my first session, I experienced a level of clarity and release that years of "thinking" couldn't touch. In fact, the shift was so profound that I spent the next three days in a literal and emotional fetal position. It was intense ...and amazing.I realized that the answers weren't in a new book or a different teacher -- they were right there in my own body.Breathwork was the medicine that * finally * allowed me to arrive.Experiencing its healing power and the effect it has had on my life has made me want to share breathwork with as many people as possible.So, I created HERE AND HELD to help others experience that shift. I based it on two fundamental truths I have discovered with breathwork:HERE
Breath pushes you to exist entirely in the present. It pulls you out of the noise of the past and the anxiety of the future, grounding you firmly in the clarity of the now.HELD
In clearing trauma from your body with the breath, you find a profound sense of safety. You're able to remember that you are supported by an entire UNIVERSE that has your back.
ABOUT ME
I'm dedicated to the art of holding space for deep transformation and helping people who are curious in any way about their inner world. I bring my intuition, authenticity, and presence to every session and by integrating rhythmic breathwork and somatic awareness, we navigate your nervous system and get you to a place where you can move forward with clarity.I really believe that the breath is a bridge between keeping up with the intensity of modern life and the profound power of knowing that you are truly
HERE and HELD.
What you can Expect from a Session with Me:
We start with a grounded check-in followed by a brief meditation to anchor ourselves.The core of the work is 35-40 minutes of an active, three-part somatic breathwork done lying down. It’s a deep, continuous mouth-breath designed to move stagnant energy, bypass the analytical mind, and drop you straight into the body.I curate every session with intentional soundtracks that act as a container for whatever you are working through. This is a safe space for you to express whatever needs to be expressed - without judgement. I am here to help you find your way, no matter how you need to get there.We close with ten minutes of quiet decompression to integrate the experience, ensuring that while the work is deep and transformative, you feel entirely HERE and HELD until the moment you leave.no experience required.
