Breathwork

What is Breathwork?

Breathwork is simply consciously affecting your breath. As your facilitator, I will be guiding you to affect your breath in a particular pattern.

I work with Conscious, Connected breath or circular breathing. That means we’ll inhale and exhale without pause in a 3-part breath.

By removing the pause in between the inhale and the exhale, it allows our bodies to increase our oxygen levels, subsequently decreasing carbon dioxide. Our bodies drop into the parasympathetic nervous system, which is our rest, digest and restore state of being. As you relax, you drop into the theta brainwave state and this is where magic can happen.

The theta brainwave state is that beautiful places between a relaxed meditation and an unconscious sleep and it is a state where deep healing can occur. Being in theta allows us the opportunity to access our subconscious mind which is where 95% of our experience and memories are stored. The subconscious mind is where our beliefs and “programming” live and this is why breathwork can be a profound and transformational experience.

Past experiences that we hold that still generate an emotional charge can weigh heavy on the body and can manifest in all kinds of ways from slight tension in the body all the way to illness. When these experiences and memories surface during a breathwork session, it gives you the opportunity to complete the emotion by letting yourself fully experience it in a contained and safe manner. Expression is allowed and encouraged in breathwork. It has the capability, breath by breath, of getting you to the other side of the experience so you may reshape your program, belief, or perspective of the situation. The amount of peace that comes from this process is nothing short of pure magic.

While breathwork is very much “work”, the technique I guide you through is a gentler, body based approach to profound transformation.

The question then becomes, how much are you holding on to and what are you ready to let go? Allow your breath to show you the way.

What People Are Saying

  • “The experience I had during the breathwork class was tranquil. Jacquelyn offered well timed ques to help get the rhythm back into the breath and focus the intention. This class was very informative and well thought out.”

    — D.R.

  • "Instantly felt relaxed and calm within the first 10 minutes of the breathing. Felt an out of body experience when my deep breathing felt natural. Was almost deep into my emotions, but I think with more sessions it will be more apparent. Jacquelyn created a tranquil environment and instructed well on what I needed to do."

    — B.P.

  • "Such a great session! I relaxed so much during this session my watch actually counted it as sleeping. Breathing has consistently been getting more natural and it has really helped me retrain my body to breath through my nose instead of my mouth. Jacquelyn was great during the session, she kept me focused when I would wander and helped me keep a consistent breathing rhythm"

    — T.K.

    — R.B.

  • "It was my first introduction to breathwork or even meditation. It was informative, very easy and slow enough for the first timer and a overall very good experience.

Jackie was excellent and explaining how the session would progress and obviously experienced in the breathwork techniques to provide excellent guidance."

    — J.C.

  • "I really enjoyed my session. I felt lighter after the session and slept well. The next day I worked a 12 hour shift, and normally I am EXHAUSTED by the end of the day, but I actually felt really energized after work and I noticed my thoughts were not spiraling as usual."

    — K.S.

  • "My session was unlike anything I ever experienced. Starting out I was worried I wouldn’t be able to complete it, as it felt very uncomfortable. After about 15 minutes I started feeling waves of emotions, and Jackie kept assuring me I was safe and to continue to ride them out. I saw it through to the end, and I felt lighter and calmer than before I started."

    — R.J.

  • "It was deeply relaxing. I found session enlightening and insightful. I’m looking forward to my next session."

    — J.J.

  • "I have a difficult time with relaxing, shutting out the noise as well as with sleeping and overall energy level The session allowed my body to relax and I could feel my breathing improve and my energy level rise once the session was concluded. The session concluded with a slight swelling of emotions which brought tears to my eyes, which is a very rare occurrence for me. Overall, I did not want the session to end and I look forward to the next one."

    — M.J.

  • "Jacqulyn was incredible to work with. She is extremely knowledgeable, and at the same time her presence is so calm and grounded that I felt completely comfortable and at ease throughout the entire session. Her guidance was gentle, clear, and supportive, which allowed me to relax deeply and fully trust the process. I felt very held in her space, and that made it possible for me to have a truly profound experience. I’m deeply grateful for the way she facilitated the session."
