At Ebb and Flow Breathwork, we believe in the transformative power of the breath. Founded on the principle that every individual has the capacity for growth and healing, we offer breathwork sessions to help you connect with your inner self, reduce stress, and enhance emotional well-being.
If you had asked me three years ago, when I was an attorney, whether I ever thought I’d be facilitating breathwork sessions, I would have rolled my eyes and told you to fuck off. I started out as a lawyer in the early 2000’s, working with schools and families of kids with disabilities, then was a public school administrator for almost ten years. I went back to practicing law during covid, and assumed that was that. Life had other plans, though.
Then, in 2022, I attended an equine therapy retreat with Unbridled Retreats. I was already feeling burnt out on the law, like I was giving a lot – my time, my energy – but I wasn’t getting anything fulfilling back. The all-female retreat opened a door for me that I hadn’t even known was there. The realization that I had a lot of work to do on myself hit me in the face. I was accustomed – or even reliant – on holding everyone at arm’s length. I was proud of the infrequency with which I cried (once a year, at best). I came home from California and started therapy. I remembered my dreams, wrote them down, talked about them.
Way back in my twenties, I had experienced breathwork during Holotropic Breathwork retreats in New Mexico; it blew my mind. I decided to try some 1:1 breathwork sessions. During the very first session, I felt with absolute certainty that this was what I was supposed to be doing. This was very challenging to the concept of myself, so I brushed it off. But the thought kept returning – why not me? Through therapy and breathwork, I started getting curious about my own emotional landscape, even as it seemed to be flat and featureless.
I found Breathwork for Recovery’s training on a Reddit thread. I talked to Nathaniel and as soon as he dropped the first f-bomb I knew I’d found the right training. Currently, I am in the second year of a two-year, 800-hour training. I’ve discovered cracks and fissures and oases of feelings – sadness, grief, and so, so much joy through breathwork and community. Breathwork has been nothing short of a miracle for me.
I am also a certified meditation teacher through Samavira Meditation. I like reading, drinking matcha, walking outside, and not cooking. I have two kids – teenagers – who are my favorite people on the planet. My husband and sons seem a bit confused about this breathwork thing. I hope we can all continue to surprise each other.
At Ebb and Flow Breathwork, we blend modern techniques with ancient practices to help you reduce stress, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself.
Whether you’re fully embracing wellness or just curious about the power of breath, our sessions are tailored to meet you where you are. Everyone is welcome to find balance and transformation here.
