Improper breathing is a common cause of ill health; the breath is the master key to self-healing.

-Andrew Weil, M.D.

Transformational Breathing: A powerful self-healing technique that uses the breath to open your respiratory system while energizing and transforming you at the cellular level physically, emotionally and spiritually

Services:
  • Individual Sessions: Private sessions offering one-on-one breathwork coaching and individualized education
  • Classes and Workshops: Opportunities for breathwork education, practice, and support in an interactive group setting
  • Trainings: Learn to master your breath for lifelong benefits, and go on to share Transformational Breathing with others

Do you find yourself:
  • Concerned that you sometimes "forget" to breathe, that you are easily winded, or that your breathing is too shallow?
  • Struggling with respiratory conditions, depression, sleep disorders, or low energy?
  • Burdened with emotional baggage you desire to release?
  • Feeling unable to relax and maintain focus in the present moment?
  • Ready to embark on major changes in your emotional or spiritual life?
  • Looking for a boost to your yoga, meditation, or psychotherapy sessions?
  • Seeking effective adjuncts to the healing modalities you employ with clients?

If so, Transformational Breathing techniques can support you:
Tracey and Dave, two deeply compassionate practitioners, are enthusiastic about empowering you with this unique form of breathwork. Combining their practical knowledge of the breath with deeper insights about its ability to heal, their approach is both nurturing and revitalizing.

Breath sessions with Tracey and Dave are dynamic - every one uniquely employs breathing exercises along with movement and music to meet your individual concerns. After conducting a verbal assessment to determine your needs, Tracey and Dave introduce you to the Transformational Breathing process. Designed to increase oxygen levels in your bloodstream, this process results in a dramatic cellular shift within your body. In turn, this activation allows repressed physical and emotional pain to surface, a process known as "entrainment." Empowered to integrate these difficult experiences into your awareness, you can finally acknowledge, resolve, and release them in a profoundly healing way. By the close of your session, you feel emotionally lighter as well as physically energized.

After working with Tracey and Dave, you may experience:
  • The ability to breathe deeply and freely.
  • Relief from chronic physical or emotional symptoms.
  • A sense of emotional lightness and clarity.
  • A feeling of deep relaxation and calm focus.
  • The energy and courage to begin a new chapter in your life.
  • The ability to align with your positive intentions to create the life you want to live.
  • An effective new tool to help your clients heal more quickly and easily.

The science behind breathwork:
Oxygen-rich blood is the key element needed by the body to create and maintain healthy cells. It is the oxygenated environment that is essential for good health, physical energy and detoxification; and it has proven to be the antidote for many diseases. Most people are using only 30% of their respiratory capacity thus limiting the oxygen they need for good health. Transformational Breath techniques open the full respiratory system to allow for a natural free flowing breath. In one study, conducted in a hospital in Regio Emilia in Italy, twelve respiratory patients were each given ten Transformational Breath sessions by a facilitator: the subjects improved their oxygen capacity on the average of 75%. Physical, mental, and emotional symptoms decreased dramatically as well. (Courtesy of Transformational Breath Foundation http://www.breath2000.com/BreathingAndMedicine.html )
