I first did Breathwork when I was pregnant with my second child. I was feeling overwhelmed and depressed during my pregnancy. I figured it was just my hormones and the challenges of chasing my small toddler around while growing another human. During this short Breathwork session, I had an epiphany of unresolved grief that I had been carrying with me. I became emotional and shed some of the sadness I had been carrying for such a long time. After the session, I felt lighter and clearer. I knew I had more work to do, but I was also aware that I had begun healing something inside me that needed healing. I knew then that I needed to make this powerful tool available to my little corner of the world.
I feel very grateful that I have always been comfortable relating to all ages and varieties of people. I generally reject small talk and have the reputation of being straightforward, honest, and kind. My entire life I was searching for my “thing”, my purpose. Within the past few years I have realized my “thing” is connecting with individuals and helping them feel valuable. Breathwork facilitation is a natural fit for me. I am passionate about the process of Breathwork and I feel confident that helping others discover this process will help them in ways they may not even know they need.
I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan with my husband, our two kids, and our dog. My life looks really normal and great. It is really normal and great. However, I have experience with addiction, infertility, miscarriage, failed adoption, major illnesses of loved ones, and other sadness and challenging experiences. Breathwork has helped me process and clear much of the pain and leftover feelings I have been carrying with me. It has helped me begin to release what is no longer benefiting me.
