Breathing exercises allow humans to control their autonomic nervous system and immune system to reduce inflammation.

“The autonomic nervous system and the innate immune system are things outside of our control. But we brought it within our control and suddenly the perspective of what a bacteria is able to do changed completely. We brought down the inflammation. And how? By doing breathing exercises.”

Breathwork is a powerful, accessible tool for emotional and physical healing that can act as a natural, free way to manage stress and inflammation.

“If you have high blood pressure, there's a good chance your blood pressure is going to go down. the stress hormones are going to decrease. This is the way we are supposed to naturally be.”

Breathwork is a systematic tool that can regulate body functions, improve health markers like oxygen efficiency and carbon dioxide tolerance, and facilitate emotional and spiritual growth.

“I basically have packaged my method into a simple modality which is based on the breath. It's based on the same breathing techniques as I use and I've expanded on it because breath really is like a pharmacy of breathing technique.”

Diaphragmatic breathing helps manage stress by activating the parasympathetic nervous system and inducing a state of calm.

“breathing through your nose into your diaphragm in a certain way and that will calm you down and release hormones that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and slow the heart rate”

Building CO2 tolerance through specific breathwork exercises improves metabolic flexibility and makes anesthesia recovery more effective.

“I want them to build up their hyper capability. It makes their anesthesia better, makes their recovery better, makes their brain more protected.”

She claims her poor breathing habits are rooted in childhood trauma where she learned to breathe shallowly to stay quiet and avoid detection.

“she told me she was like, "You breathe like as a kid you learn to breathe like to not to be to hide."”

Breathwork allows parents to connect with their own repressed emotions, helping them move from reactivity to compassion for their children.

“I got in touch with my own suppressed anger from when my younger sister was born. And it was this earthshattering rage. And there were a couple of different things that happened for me in that moment. One was I had so much emotion and compassion for my daughter”

Breathwork helps parents unpack and process stored stress from their past so they are less reactive in their parenting.

“I too stumbled upon breath work and started to unpack and process things that had happened to me over my childhood.”
