 BREATHING ASSESSMENTS & RETRAINING

Are you looking for a natural way to explore and resolve physical and emotional challenges?

 

Can't get enough air? Experiencing tightness in your chest? Anxiety, panic? Tingling, cold hands & feet? Sudden vision or mood changes? 

 

Are you confused by all the different breathing practices 'to help you get calm' and wonder what is safe and most beneficial for you? 

A breathing behavior analysis (using a biometric device) will help you determine if your health and emotional challenges are being caused or exacerbated by a dysfunctional breathing habit

 SOMATIC BREATHWORK

Are you interested in a journey inward and want to use your own breath as the medicine?

 

Feeling pulled to explore your subconscious material and repattern old belief systems?  

 

Somatic Breathwork is a transformational practice that strategically weaves together the power of Conscious Connected Breathwork, mindful somatic inquiry, and sound in a supportive container for you to explore.

 Expect a breathing behavior screening (using biometrics) in your initial assessment to ensure this practice is suitable for you.  Other breathwork practices may be offered in preparation for this deeper dive.

Meditate at home

"Working with Joy has been transformative. What began as somatic bodywork sessions led me to Breath Analysis and Retraining, which has been a game-changer. I've developed a powerful sense of partnership with my body—I now trust its wisdom in a whole new way. Every session brings valuable insights, and I always leave feeling more connected and empowered." ~Stacie Gottfried, Student Acupuncturist

Hello!

I'm Joy

As a trauma-informed Somatic Practitioner and Certified Breathing Behavior Analyst, I help people get out of their heads and into their bodies where they can acknowledge and release old patterns, explore new possibilities and be present for their lives.

 

I specialize in helping adults, who are experiencing overwhelm after chronic stress and trauma, get back to the joy they've been missing out on. I guide clients to befriend their body and breathe freely. 

I weave a variety of personalized body-based practices, including gentle movement, somatic inquiry, breathwork and nervous system literacy.
