About the facilitator
I built the practice I wish I'd had.
My path into breathwork didn't start on a retreat brochure. It started on the floor, after I'd lost everything.
The story
Starting from scratch, twice
Breathwork found me after I had to leave behind my home, my partner, two dogs, my community, and the career I'd spent years building. All of it was gone in an instant.
I was searching for anything that could relieve the anguish in my chest, the knots in my belly, and the hopelessness underneath it. I signed up for an intensive breathwork journey on a whim, with no expectations. What happened in that room was profound enough that I couldn't keep it to myself. Breathing as a therapeutic practice is a hard sell. I know that firsthand. I haven't stopped making the case for it anyway, because I've watched what expanded awareness can do when someone finally taps into what their unconscious has been holding.
Over time, my relationship to that loss changed. The shame and melancholy that had consumed me gave way to something closer to relief and gratitude. That shift is what sent me into training: a three-part facilitator course with Breathmaster's, immersed in readings, practicum, and a cohort of people doing the same excavation on themselves. My teacher was — and is — genuinely inspiring. But I also saw where I wanted to build further, and I've spent the years since doing exactly that.
What I believe
You can't hold space you haven't sat in yourself
The most important quality a facilitator can bring to someone else's healing is having done their own: sitting with their own grief, exploring their own shadow, on purpose. That's what lets me relate to the people I work with authentically and it's why I take real care in building topic-specific journeys rather than running the same script for everyone.
I create space that is inclusive and radically accepting. Come as you are. Leave as someone you're striving to become.
Credentials & approach
How I hold the room

Off the mat
How I stay well while holding space for others
Facilitating other people's healing can be heavy. I keep my own cup full through hobbies, time intentionally scheduled with dear friends, movement in nature and plant-based nourishment to maintain emotionally availability.
My hope for everyone who breathes with me is that they leave with a sense of coming home to themselves, and a tool they can return to whenever they need it.
