What is Breathwork?
The breath is our gateway to the body and the nervous system and is a profound tool to create change and well-being in our lives. The process of consciously altering the breath can help unwind tension patterns and the everyday stressors of life, release energetic blocks in the body, and bring us into deeper connection with our bodies and hearts. The result can be more physical energy and vitality, mental clarity, energetic balance, and psychological wellbeing. Clients also report improved sleep, improved circulation, improved digestion, reduction in worry or anxiety, and increased capacity for self-love and self-compassion. Like my client Whitney said “I feel like I went on a 3 week vacation and came back completely refreshed in the span of 1 hour!”
1:1 Breathwork Healing Sessions
What to expect
This 75-minute virtual session is an opportunity for you to share about what’s present in your life, mind, body and spirit, and receive support and guidance. Through active listening and coaching we will discover areas of opportunity for growth and uncover where things might feel stagnant or blocked as you identify your intention for the session. I will guide you in an active Breathwork technique for about 30 minutes to move you out of the mind and into the heart and a state of relaxed consciousness. There will be a rest period where you will find rejuvenation and deep relaxation and then space to share or ask questions before we complete the session.

Testimonials
“My breathwork session with Christina was like a portal to the awareness of things I had been too busy to bring attention to. I discovered some energetic blocks I was feeling around my health and my life. I fell into such deep relaxation that I received messages from my ancestors about next steps to take to move through blocks I had been experiencing. What that means for me is that after this session, I have a clear path for where to go next.
It’s easy to find ourselves trapped in the “go” of life. Christina did a beautiful job holding space for me to slow down, recalibrate, and move with more intention. I wish I had done this sooner!
I cannot tell you how regulated I feel after just one session. It’s like my nervous system went on a 3 week vacation and came back completely refreshed.”
“Christina led me through my first breathwork session this week and it was incredibly powerful. Her guidance and setup going in made me feel safe and prepared for the experience that unfolded and the results was unexpectedly transformative for me, even after one session. I experienced a major letting go during a very emotional and challenging time and after the session I slept better than I had in weeks. I’m so grateful that she shared this tool and invited me into this practice with such grace.”
“Life has been full of stress and curve balls lately. Before the breathwork session with Christina, my body was heavy, my energy very low, and my stress extremely high. Even stepping away from my to-do list for the scheduled appointment felt like a challenge. AND I AM SO GLAD I DID! Christina masterfully guided the work, allowing me to be fully present, connecting only to myself and my body. What a gift to have this space for myself. I could feel the energy move; I had the container I needed to shed some tears, and I stayed in space, blissfully floating long after the session ended. Christina’s work and this offering create a unique and sacred moment for you to commune with yourself. I can’t recommend her highly enough. I would recommend this to anyone who could use a little extra support and/or a timeout for regulation.”
“My experience with Christina and breathwork was so lovely! I felt a little anxious beforehand, a little tightness in my chest. Afterwards I felt so relaxed and peaceful, with some realizations about my day to day mind set hadn’t yet come up before. It’s remarkable to feel so re-set and relaxed and peaceful within only 20-30 minutes or so of breathwork and guidance from Christina, what a blessing, I wish I could start everyday like this.
I know no better way to heal and calm the nervous system. I can’t recommend breathwork enough. In particular, I would recommend it to anyone who struggles with anxiety or anxiousness. Or anyone with blocked or repressed emotions. It really feels like the only way to access certain levels or consciousness, clear energy, and achieve a higher level of creativity and insight.
It was no surprise that my experience with Christina was wonderful, but it really did exceed expectation. Christina is such a special woman with the kindest healing energy. I can’t imagine another person I’d feeler safer with to guide me on the journey of breathwork. She really balances the most beautiful dynamic of strong grounded energy with a sweet light hearted uplifting quality, which is so rare. Thank you, Christina! So blessed to know you. ”
