Trauma-Aware Breathwork & Embodied Practice
A Gentle Place to Slow Down
Most of us live inside constant movement.
Deadlines, responsibilities, expectations, noise and pressure.
Over time, this pace begins to shape our nervous systems, often without us realizing it. Tension becomes familiar. Holding becomes normal. Disconnection becomes adaptive.
Somatic regulation experiences create space to slow the body, settle the nervous system and return to a calmer awareness and presence.
This work is not about fixing, forcing or pushing. It is about listening, noticing and gently reconnecting inward.
What Is Trauma-Aware Somatic Breathwork?
Trauma Aware Somatic Breathwork is not Holotropic breathwork.
This is an offering of an inward journey which integrates mind and body through simply, your breath.
Clarity, calm, sense of peace has been what’s shared, all simply done by guided breathing practices.
Join a powerful offering of a full group breathwork session in Sacramento California at The CLARA Auditorium.
Bring a mat, blanket, pillow, whatever is most comfortable for you, water as well. The breathwork session will begin approximately 15 minutes after the scheduled start time and no additional entry will be permitted. We will begin with a description of what to expect (below), a gentle grounding meditation and our breathwork session will end with an invitation to share what was noticed, which some enjoy sharing and some do not and both are fully respected.
Every participant is required to read and sign the waiver before our session begins, in person.
Why Breath & the Nervous System?
Breath is one of the few pathways we can consciously access to influence our nervous system.
When breath slows, softens and becomes more intentional, it signals safety to the body, allowing space for:
- Regulation
- Settling
- Emotional processing
- Integration
- Presence
This creates the conditions for deeper listening, both inward and relationally.
What to Expect at Somatic Breathwork
Breathwork is an inward journey which integrates mind and body through simply, breathing.
We will have four parts where we will do deep diaphragm breathing, open mouth and then switch to gentler deep breaths through our nose. All will be guided, there is music incorporated throughout and the entire session will be just under two hours.
One of the best ways to decide if this form of trauma aware breathwork is good for you is to read what others have said. Included here are the sometimes kind, sometimes raw but always authentic words from many who have experienced my group breathwork sessions.
Sessions are designed to meet participants where they are, honoring individual nervous systems, histories and boundaries.
Breathwork Offerings
- Every Other Month, In-Person Group Sessions Two-hour trauma-aware somatic breathwork experiences offered every other month.

- Special Events Retreats, seasonal and themed offerings focused on regulation, reflection and integration for groups/organizations.
An Invitation
