My Foundation in Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitation

My breathwork offerings are deeply anchored in certification from the Pause Breathwork Facilitator Training—a rigorous 6-month online journey led by expert facilitators. This program certified me in the Pause Method™, a trauma-informed, results-oriented system that combines conscious connected breathwork with somatic healing, nervous system science, and energetic mastery.

Designed to transform facilitators from helpers into embodied healers, the training unfolds in four transformative phases:
• Foundation & Safety — Mastering the Pause Method (continual connected breathing to move stagnant emotions), trauma-informed principles, the four stages of safety, personal embodiment practices, and creating sacred, regulated containers where deep healing unfolds without overwhelm.
• The Art + Science of Breathwork — Blending neuroscience, anatomy, and trauma-aware practices; learning to support diverse needs (including pregnancy-safe adaptations) while guiding intentional, breakthrough journeys.
• Energetic Mastery — Developing Pause Energetic Maps, facilitator presence, energetic hygiene, tracking subtle states, attunement to participants, and somatic integration of emotions stored in the body.
• Facilitation Excellence — Advanced group holding, intuitive discernment in complex moments, vocal guidance and energetic coherence, crafting experience arcs for profound sessions, and accessing spiritual depth through embodied presence.

This is not surface-level breathwork—it's a somatic revolution: addressing anxiety, stored trauma, and disconnection where they live in the body and nervous system. The method emphasizes safety first, preventing re-traumatization while enabling rapid release and awakening. Complementing my plant medicine facilitation and soundbath expertise, this training allows me to weave breath as a gentle yet powerful opener—preparing the body and energy field for deeper journeys with mushrooms or pure vibrational immersion. Every session becomes a full-circle experience: breath awakens and releases, sound soothes and integrates, and the medicine reveals when ready. I continue this path through ongoing embodiment, community, and devotion to nervous system honoring. Whether you're seeking relief from long-held patterns, greater presence, or a return to your wild, regulated self, the space I hold is built on integrity, skill, and reverence for your process.

If breath calls to you as a doorway home, know you're met with grounded care and proven tools.

My Foundation in Somatic Coaching - Pause Certified

My facilitation is enriched by certification as a Pause Somatic Coach through their 7-month immersive Somatic Coaching Certification program. This training centers on The Somatic System™ and Pause’s Signature Somatic Coaching Method - a revolutionary, trauma-informed approach that works directly with the living body to create deep, sustainable transformation beyond mindset alone.

Grounded in neuroscience, physiology, and energetic principles, the program equips facilitators to:
• Harness the body’s innate intelligence for root-level breakthroughs
• Regulate the nervous system, identifying and gently shifting states from survival/fight-flight-freeze to safety, connection, and expansion
• Facilitate somatic release of stored trauma through practices like parts work (integrating fragmented aspects of self), inner child reparenting, pain integration, and embodied emotional processing
• Master energetic attunement and alchemy - reading body cues, shifting energy patterns, and maintaining alignment to hold powerful space without depletion
• Blend healing modalities like sound, breath, and movement into structured sessions (using tools such as the Pause Somatic Session Map and Energetic Maps) for safe, profound journeys

Delivered through weekly live calls, dynamic video lessons, guided embodiment practices, hands-on practicum with real clients, personalized feedback, and a supportive community hub, this experience fosters both personal embodied awakening and professional mastery. It emphasizes staying energetically resourced as a guide—your regulated presence becomes the greatest gift to those you hold. This somatic depth seamlessly weaves into my breathwork soundbath and mushroom ceremony work: breath activates and moves energy, sound soothes the nervous system, somatic awareness tracks and integrates what arises, and the medicine meets a body primed for gentle, rooted revelation. The result is multi-layered healing—addressing trauma where it lives in the tissues, while honoring the whole self in sacred, mountain-held space.

I continue to embody this path through daily practice, ongoing study, and devotion to nervous system honoring and energetic integrity. Whether you're releasing long-held patterns, reclaiming presence, or stepping into your wild, regulated essence, the containers I create are built on proven somatic tools, trauma-aware care, and reverence for your unique unfolding. This is the missing link: healing that starts in the body, ripples outward, and returns you home.
