I was certified as a Rebirther in 2003. I have attended 9 day and 3 day trainings with Leonard Orr. I am now a certified Conscious Breathing Breathwork Coach and have been holding sessions for my students for the last 3 years. I also have experience with Holotropic Breathwork, Clarity Breathwork,and Conscious Breathing - Anapana Sati as part of meditation and several yogic breathing modalities. All of these understand that breath is a powerful gift.

Personal approach to Breathwork: I consider Breathwork as a powerful tool to clean our physical as well emotional body, and thereby live life with more balance, clarity, and in a loving presence. It is very important to re-establish a healthy relationship with our breath, and hence to create a background for a conscious life.

Support Groups: Yes! I also give clients some assingments after the session and try to empower them so that they can do Breathwork themselves.

Other healing modalities trained in: I am a Rekie Master.

Ideal client: Everybody who is willing to change and grow.

Code of ethics for working with clients: I respect my clients and treat them as Loving Beings. Anything which invades thier personal space I do not do. I follow strictly the 5 precepts as taught by Buddha and my Vipassana Master.

Additional Thoughts: Contact me. Money and time should not stop you from experiencing the sweetness of Breathing. Breathing is a music, the Divine is singing in your nose all of the time..singing with the notes of .... love.

Experience with Conscious Breathing, qualifications, trainings, etc:
I have been a Rebirthing Breathworker since 1981 and a Rebirthing Trainer since 1987, when I was the Training Director at the International Rebirthing Training Center in Sierraville. I have led seminars and trainings in the U.S., Toronto and Montreal, Canada, England, Spain, Austria and in South Africa, Botswana and Cape Town. I have organized for founder, Leonard Orr, since 1984 and continue to do so and train with him as recently as June, 2007. I have organized the Return to the Sacred Spiritual Purification Retreat with Leonard Orr in Sierraville, California for three years now. I breathe and receive sessions myself with those that I have trained. Having the willingness to make time to do fire and nature purification has been the single-most powerful cleansing and centering discipline for me, in addition to my long time and great relationship with Leonard Orr! Breathwork is so simple and produces amazingly healthy results!

Year became a practitoner: 1981

Name of Business: The Northwest School of Rebirthing Breathwork

Area of focus: Those who are just at the edge of taking off in major decisions and those desiring freedom from jealousy. (Yes, it can be found!)

Personal approach to Breathwork: Gentleness and acceptance. Each person truly has their own wisdom and right timing. Sometimes it is a matter of relaxing enough that this innate wisdom emerges. No two people are alike and each has their own needs. Breathwork is easily adapted to consider each person's individuality and sacredness.

Water Rebirthing: Water rebirthing after tensessions.

Support Groups: I offer Business Support Groups, Freedom From Jealousy Support Groups.

Other healing modalities trained in: Successful clientele building and meditation and music therapy.Daily aarati and chanting.

Code of ethics for working with clients: Truthfulness, respect, compassion and light heartedness.

Average cost of one session: $60 for a two - three hour session. This includes time for the client to share what is happening in their life, breathing information, the session and any sharing afterwards. I am always available by telephone to provide support.

Discount packages: I offer the ten session series for $400 paid in full after the first session. People often do not know if they want ten sessions, so after one or two sessions I offer the package and the amount already paid for sessions is deducted.

Books Published: Delicious Breathing Exercises(I have transcribed many of Leonard's books for publication: ProsperityConsultation I and II, Successful Clientele Building; Bhartraji; Breath Awareness, and many other papers.)

Additional Thoughts: Since I have LIVED and continue to LIVE, I have experienced such vastness of life, relationships and feeings that I can easily relate to most people. I am beyond being shocked. People find it easy to relax and enjoy my presence, as I do others!California-breathwork

I began breathing in Jaunary of 2007 - an excellent way to start the year! After a series of sessions and a couple of retreats, I decided this was what I wanted to make mylife about.

I have attended Leonard Orr's 9 day training where I learned to more fully incorporate Spiritual Purification practices into my work.
