BREATHWORK

An innate technology used for deep rewiring and release

Breath is our

life force energy

In addition to being what fundamentally creates our aliveness, breath is a vital part of the nervous system.

Since the beginning of civilization, humans have used conscious breath practices to bring our bodies into a state of safety and grounding, as well as a state of cathartic release.

What is Transformational Breathwork?

Transformational breathwork is an activated breath journey that invites your body and psyche into deep rewiring and release. 

A powerful somatic healing modality, transformational breathwork is especially supportive to those prone to overthinking and those holding overwhelming or suppressed emotions—including but not limited to anger, grief, anxiety, stuckness, or fear.

Through this breath, we activate pathways in the brain and nervous system that support profound insights, emotional release, and recalibration towards ease and safety in the body.

  • An ancient modality without a name (similar in effects to Holotropic breathwork, but not co-opted and trademarked in the same way), the particular breath journey that I facilitate originated in the East. It was taught by an unnamed pranayama teacher to a mystic healer named Tim Heath, who then taught it to David Elliot, who popularized it in the West.

    This breath (which I am referring to as “transformational breathwork”) can unlock layers of healing that are not possible to achieve through conscious mental processing or talk therapy. Via safe and controlled hyper-oxygenation of the body, the nervous system is able to flush what has become stuck, while the brain enters brainwave states that help us access typically inaccessible parts of our consciousness, creating opportunities for new perspectives, insights, and wisdom to emerge. This is deep healing from the ground up; the inside, out.

My breathwork session with Meredith was powerfully connective and transformational. I feel very wonderfully met by the practice and it opened up some deep pathways toward my healing.

Benefits of Transformational Breathwork

  • Quiets the overactive mind; invites the body into presence and relaxation

  • Releases physical tension from the body

  • Clears overwhelming or calcified emotions and imprints of the past

  • Connects you to your heart and innate life force

  • Activates the subconscious mind, opening portals to profound visions and insights

  • Stimulates the vagus nerve, building resiliency in the nervous system

  • Creates new neural pathways in the brain

  • Connects you with your deep intuition and higher self

  • Bolsters your capacity to attune to your body, be with discomfort, and trust the mystery of the process

As your guide, I will create a secure and attuned container for you to self-express, access your inner wisdom, and activate your innate capacity to heal.

  • In your session, you will be taught the (simple!) breath pattern, held through the entire journey, and have complete agency over the intensity of the breath. There will be time at the start for you to ground and set intentions, and time at the end for rest and integration.

    Your breath journey will be accompanied by a customized playlist, crafted to enhance your experience and support your specific intentions. I will also provide gentle touch and energy medicine (crystals, aromatherapy, etc.) during the breath journey, if desired.

  • I am warm, prepared, and affirming. I offer a grounded nervous system and an attuned presence to hold whatever emerges. I am attentive, agile, and deeply present, checking in with you throughout the journey to make adjustments as needed. I trust in your body’s innate intelligence and in the divine perfection of exactly what unfolds. I aim to provide a safe container for your transformational healing.

  • Breathwork is offered as standalone sessions, and is also integrated into ongoing Somatic Coaching.

    A session lasts 90 minutes and costs $145. A small number of reduced-fee sessions are available for those with limited financial capacity. Please reach out if you have this need and are interested!

TESTIMONIALS

“Just wow, wow, WOW! My breathing session with Meredith was hugely powerful! I felt safe and held in the beautiful space she created and so was able to move some lifelong tension and blockage out of my throat. She gently encouraged me to connect with the deep pain and anger that may be residing there. It was. I yelled and cried and cried until I felt all that was ready to leave me had. The eye pillow, crystals, rose water, and beautiful bespoke music were wonderfully supportive during my journey. At the close of the experience I felt deeply relaxed, peaceful, and full of gratitude to have had the opportunity to release so much of what was no longer serving me. Thank you for facilitating such a healing experience, Meredith!”

— Courtney M., Asheville, NC

“During my breathwork session with Meredith, I felt safe enough to journey to uncomfortable parts within myself because I knew I was held by her. I was instantly calmed when she informed me of what to anticipate, and I felt so at ease by her presence and even more so throughout the whole process. She was gentle and encouraging, calm and receptive; she has a gift for understanding what one needs in the moment and she provides.”

—Karly M., Asheville, NC

“My breathwork session with Meredith was powerfully connective and transformational. I feel very wonderfully met by the practice and it opened up some deep pathways toward my own healing.

The container felt just right for me. I dropped VERY deep VERY quickly and had a lot of emotional releases. I was worried about my chronic back pain flaring up by lying on my back, so Meredith worked with me to find the right position and reassured me that I could ask for a change at any point. I felt cared for, accepted, and completely in control. Her communication was impeccable, almost poetic, which helped me drop into the embodiment of the experience even more.

This was a profoundly beautiful experience and I am interested to see how it all integrates! One surprising thing is it seems like my low back pain has significantly shifted - I was able to feel all kinds of circulation in my sacrum and opening in my hips that was astounding. I'm going to keep working with that openness and connection in the coming days and weeks. I have been waiting for a shift like this for a very long time. Thank you Meredith! For your presence, intention, and clarity. I'm so grateful!”
