Experience with Conscious Breathing, qualifications, trainings, etc: I am a Certified Breathwork Facilitator, having completed an intensive one-year course with Jaan Jerabek of Transformative Education International in Sydney, Australia. The course comprised approximately 560 hours of coursework and experiential training, including receiving over 50 sessions, giving over 50 sessions, weekly classes, and monthly weekend intensives. I continue to educate myself in various breathwork and holistic healing tools.
I am currently in the process of becoming certified by Leonard Orr/RBI.
Year became a practitoner: 2010
Name of Business: This Breath
Area of focus: I specialize in cathartic-style Breathwork as developed by Jaan Jerabek. The unique hallmark of Jaan's technique, developed and refined over many years, is the combination of three elements: the cathartic-style breath session, an understanding of personality defense structures, and Behavioral Decision Processing. At this time, I am one of only two certified Breathwork facilitators in the U.S. trained in this unique and potent combination of techniques.
Personal approach to Breathwork: I seek to support people to empower themselves. One of the most rewarding ways I have found to do this is to facilitate people's self-healing through Cathartic Breathwork. I bring to facilitation a compassion, presence, and understanding born of my own journeys through the challenging places within me.
Water Rebirthing: I do not have facilities for wet Rebirthing, but can facilitate hot or cold sessions if a client provides the facilities.
Support Groups: Not at this time, but I am happy to offer this for any clients who are interested.
Other healing modalities trained in: I am certified in the Behavioral Decision Processing technique and integrate it into most Breathwork sessions (see my website for details). I am also an experienced meditator in the Buddhist tradition.
Code of ethics for working with clients: I observe the "Ethical Standards for Breathworkers" of the International Breathwork Training Alliance.
Average cost of one session: $130 per session. (Need-based sliding scale available; barter/trade is also a possibility.)
Discount packages: I offer discounts for packages of 3 or 10 sessions
