You are driving your car, and someone cuts you off; it throws you into an emotional reaction, and you develop a story around it and just can’t shake it.

Why can’t I just calm down when I am triggered?? Why do I feel out of control in my mind and body?

Why am I living in constant stress and anxiety, feeling on edge and activated and experiencing shutdown and avoidance, wondering why change is so hard even though I only want to be set free?

If these thoughts have ever crossed your mind, you are not alone and not broken!

Change is hard because our nervous system is used to being dysregulated all the time. We try to meditate and get frustrated because we cannot sit still. And we need more motivation even though our to-do list is a mile long, so we beat ourselves up getting nothing done. It has become addicted to the stress hormones.

We might experience a subconscious belief we are better off and safer being small, sick, scared, and unseen. You have years of subconscious programming activated in your body since childhood. Many of us are born into unpredictable, unsafe, emotionally inconsistent, chaotic childhood environments. We know nothing else.

So how do we start getting unstuck, bringing lasting change?

We need to learn about our nervous system and why our bodies are in survival mode, numbing and shutting down. Learn practical tools to calm the nervous system. We must rebuild trust and safety within ourselves and our bodies in a regulated state, bringing our nervous system into calm and balance, letting our body know it is safe to feel this way so we can release challenging emotions safely and present versus getting stuck in hyper-vigilance, fear, anxiousness and shut down.

What if instead of attempting to avoid triggers and emotions, we befriend them and our bodies?

In this workshop, you will understand the journey from your younger self to adulthood. Why have you created these survival mechanisms, limiting beliefs and conditioning. You will understand the nervous system to give yourself grace and compassion. You will learn body-based tools and how to care for your nervous system that will support you to start rebuilding trust and safety within yourself to feel present, calm, and grounded so you can process emotions and experiences and begin to heal. We will end by experiencing the 3-part Circular Breathwork technique, an active mediation that will quiet the mind to access stagnant energy and emotions, allowing them to move through the body. We will have time for journaling, community connection, and sharing. 

You are your greatest healer!

It’s time to learn how to regulate our nervous system and release emotional blocks allowing us to step back into our power! Join me for this experiential workshop in a safe and connected environment.

“After having time to reflect the magnitude of the power of Breathwork and the workshop, I must say that was such an enlightening, uplifting and hopeful experience. I was concerned for myself, could I let go and trust the process being in a group setting, but I was concerned for no reason. In this setting, I was able to do so. Experiencing the workshop and this type of Breathwork my hopes are finally being nurtured. Thank you Suzanne for following your calling to provide this amazing simple process.” Dwight B

I’m still doing my daily breathwork that you taught in the workshop which has been life changing, so thank you. Erica B

Do you have voices that are constantly clamoring to tell you what you “should” be doing? A critical voice that keeps you stuck and small? Are you waiting for someone else to make it better? Are you ready to fill up from the inside with self-love and grace?

This opportunity is an invitation to quiet the mind and allow the heart to speak, to step into your power, and start using your voice. It provides a chance to explore somatic or body-centered healing, alleviating stress, anxiety, worry, and depression. Creating more room in the body for self love, openness, presence, and joy.

We will start with a sacred cocoa ceremony, setting an intension, and community connection. You will experience the medicine of Circular Breathwork, restorative yoga, reiki and meditation, concluding with journaling and integration with ourselves and others.

This type of active Breathwork gives you a way to move the anger, resentment, fear, and disappointment from the body. You will generate healing energy within your own body, connecting with your heart and spirit, your intuition, and the place inside you that holds all the answers you need. You will walk away feeling whole, not broken!

Restorative yoga provides a sense of support and safety using props and blankets to support the body. This practice can be helpful to those feeling exhausted, stressed or needing healing from an injury, an illness, loss or trauma. Guided meditation and Reiki will be incorporated during the practice.

We will support you in our time together, and we hope that you will walk away embodying courage, clarity, and tools to continue the journey!
