Breathe To Heal: Breathwork & Integration
Breathe to Heal is my invitation to slow down and come home to your body. Through the daily Inner Axis practice, Soma+IQ trauma-informed breathwork journeys, and integration coaching, I guide you toward greater calm, clarity, connection, and deepen your relationship with yourself, one breath at a time. Every practice is gentle, accessible, and meets you exactly where you are. No experience needed, just a curious mind, open heart and the willingness to breathe. Work with me in person or online.
Inner Axis - Daily Breathwork Practice
Inner Axis is designed to be an accessible breath-centered somatic daily practice that blends intentional breathing (pranayama) with gentle breath-initiated movement, Qigong, yoga, and visualization. No experience needed. Inner Axis meets you exactly where you are and helps you slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with your body.

What Is Inner Axis?
Inner Axis is an accessible, breath-centered mind-body somatic practice that combines intentional breathing (pranayama) with breath-initiated movement, Qigong, selected yoga postures, visualization, and relaxation. It supports a deeper connection between breath, body, mind, and emotions, while creating space for greater awareness, grounding, and presence. I am a certified practitioner of Max Strom’s Breathe to Heal and Inner Axis method, and I have practiced with and learned from Max for more than 20 years.
A Practice That Meets You Where You Are
You do not need to be flexible, physically fit, experienced in yoga, or familiar with breathwork or meditation. You simply begin where you are, and modifications are given when needed. You’ll learn different breathing techniques and movements adaptive for all abilities and energy levels. There is no expectation of perfect movement. The focus is on your internal experience, with the breath guiding the way.
What to Expect
I guide you through intentional breathing (pranayama) and gentle breath-initiated movement, Qigong, Yoga and visualizations while encouraging you to listen to and honor your body. No previous experience is necessary, movements can be modified, and you are always welcome to use a chair, rest or adjust. Some sessions feel calming and restorative, others bring more awareness, clarity, or energy. Whether you are navigating stress, returning to movement, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself, Inner Axis meets you where you are.
Important Note
Inner Axis is a supportive mind-body wellness practice. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure medical or mental health conditions and is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, or treatment from a licensed professional.
Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork
Trauma-informed Breathwork Journeys, in the Soma+IQ tradition, are a deep, immersive body-based experience designed to take you beyond daily breathwork and into greater emotional and somatic exploration.
-
What is a Somatic Breathwork Journey?
The Soma+IQ method of trauma-informed breathwork combines intentional breathing with somatic awareness to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and a deeper connection between the mind and body. “Soma” means body. This practice invites you to move beyond thinking about how you feel and begin noticing, listening to, and connecting with what is happening within your body’s own intelligence.
What does “trauma-informed” mean?
A trauma-informed approach emphasizes safety, choice, consent, pacing, and personal agency. Rather than forcing an experience or pushing through discomfort, you are invited to listen to your body and honor your own needs. You always have the choice to slow down, modify your breathing, rest, pause, or stop.
What does a Journey entail?
A guided somatic experience using intentional breathing, body awareness, music, and supportive facilitation to help you turn inward and reconnect with yourself. You are invited to notice sensations, emotions, and thoughts without judgment. There is no expectation to feel, release, or accomplish anything specific. The journey is yours, and you remain in choice throughout.
Potential Benefits of Somatic Breathwork
This practice may support nervous system regulation, stress reduction and relaxation, greater body and emotional awareness, release of physical and emotional tension, mental clarity, a greater sense of grounding, presence, and connection between mind, body, and spirit.
Important Note
Soma+IQ Trauma-Informed Breathwork is a wellness and somatic practice. It is not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, or treatment from a licensed mental health professional.

You must learn to achieve inner stillness,
regardless of the outer circumstances.
It is only when you can still the storm in your mind that
you can unify mind, body, and emotions.
