drop into the intelligence of your body and find your expression that is underneath
“When Bonnie and I met, I was not familiar with Somatic Breathing Therapy…now I am beyond words with what to say about the tremendous gift Bonnie has! Thank you so much for today”

What is Somatic Breathwork?
The Somatic Breathwork method combines conscious breathing techniques with somatic awareness and exploration. AKA it gets you out of your head and into your body so you can connect to what the heck your body is trying to tell you!
We use the power of the breath as the healer to shift stuck emotions that create pressure, overwhelm and tension in the body and build up over time. If we don’t allow this energy to express, it suppresses, stays in the body and can lead to unwanted feelings like anxiety and stress. By engaging in specific breathing patterns, we can activate the body’s natural healing codes and clear this energetic weight.
Our breath is this amazing little tool that we always have with us
E V E R Y D A Y. Most of the time we breathe without being aware of our breath - another one of the smart things our body does for us! By consciously tapping into to how we breathe we can release stress or anxiety and train our Nervous System to respond differently to stressors in the future. It can give us that few extra seconds of space to mindfully respond versus reacting impulsively (freaking out and regretting it later). It can support you during a challenging yoga pose or workout to bring you to your edge and push you a little more. A regular Breathwork practice can help with:
Why Breathwork?
Improve Sleep
Increase Attention + Focus
Boost Immunity
Less Stress - More Peace, plus more benefits
Breathwork isn’t only for during a session, It’s intentionally connecting to your breath in any given moment. Embrace the power of your breath and unlock what you don’t even know is there to be unlocked!
What does a session look like?
Sessions are 90 min. & include -
About Somatic Breathwork + technique
Grounding meditation + Intention setting
Space after to share about session
20 min follow up coaching session (1:1 only)
AND….Speedy!! (In person 1:1 only)
This is my dog, Speedy G! I’ve always wanted to “bring my dog to work” and now I get to! As long as you’re ok with it, he’s with us before & after the session. He offers sweet, loving support and isn’t opposed to belly rubs! It’s as if he knows exactly what you need in that moment.
What should I expect afterwards?
Often time, people experience re-connection to themselves, clarity, peace and feelings of deep purpose after a session. Sometimes a lot of emotions come up and it can feel heavy as you are processing what came up for you. So if you can, leave space in your day after to honor your needs and any boundaries that will continue to support you.
Breathwork is a form of self care. What do you need after to continue to take care of yourself?
WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING
Breathwork has always been intimidating to me and I never “got it”. The technique and Bonnie’s care made for a very safe space and allowed for a very profound experience.

I was amazed how long I could hold my breath and in those moments it felt like I was floating, immersed in a beautiful calm state.

The best part was and still is the ripple effect after the session, especially 24 hrs after.
