Who is this for?

Breathwork is for anyone with lungs who can safely perform the techniques.

WOO Breathwork, however, is for a very specific group of people:

Aspiring change-makers who have experienced deep trauma—trauma that is intrinsically linked to the enormity of their mission. You’ve been through pain, but that pain wasn’t meant to break you—it was meant to prepare you for something bigger. If you're feeling disconnected from your mission because you don't yet know how to transmute that suffering into fuel for transformation, WOO Breathwork is designed to help you reconnect with your purpose and power.

This is for individuals who are ready to heal and reclaim the strength, clarity, and confidence needed to move forward. You know, deep in your soul, that you’re here for a big mission—but right now, you feel stuck, trapped by the weight of your past. If you're ready to do the work, if you’re done staying stuck, this is for you.

The WOO Protocol was crafted specifically for those who are tired of rehashing the same stories, who are ready to break through, and step into their full potential.

If you’re questioning, “Is this for me?”—the answer is simple: Yes, it is.

But, here’s the truth: if you’re looking for something quick and easy, this probably isn’t it. Breathwork demands you show up—fully. It’s not magic without effort—it’s magic through effort. And if you’re here reading this, then the fact is, you’re already ready.



What happens at a WOO Breathwork experience? 

Your WOO Breathwork experience is about more than just breathing—it’s about transforming your life. Depending on whether you're in a 1:1 session or a group event, it will feel different, but always potent.

  • Intimacy: In a 1:1 session, you get the undivided, personalized attention you need to go deep and get real about what’s holding you back. In a group, you’ll feel the power of collective energy and how we all rise together.

  • Environment: Whether in-person or online, the environment is curated to support you in stepping out of your comfort zone. With others or solo, you’re safe to release what no longer serves you.

  • Practice & Techniques: The breathwork techniques vary depending on what you need in the moment—whether it’s healing, activation, or creating your new reality. Each session is custom-designed for your transformation.
Every session includes:
✔️ Intention-setting
✔️ Joy movement
✔️ Transformational breathwork journey
✔️ Integration

This is the space where you stop playing small and start living with purpose. No fluff. No filler. Just real, powerful change.

How can breathwork transform my life?

Breathwork is a tool for deep, radical transformation. If you’re drawn to breathwork for healing—especially trauma healing—thank you for your courage. You’re about to step into your power, and it starts right here.

Trauma is part of the human experience. It’s not something to hide or suppress. It’s suffering, and it’s a teacher. Whether big or small, personal or collective, trauma shapes how we see ourselves, how we move through the world, and how we relate to others. When left unresolved, it creates limiting beliefs—ones that make it hard to move forward. These beliefs show up as judgment, self-doubt, self-sabotage, and even physical pain, addiction, or illness.

But here's the truth: trauma doesn’t need to be your enemy. It’s a teacher, one that challenges us, makes us uncomfortable, and forces us to face what we've been avoiding. It creates friction—the kind of friction that sparks growth. The lesson here isn’t to deny the darkness, but to understand it, to sit with it, and to learn from it.

Your darkness is not your enemy. It’s a powerful part of your journey, and when you can embrace it and learn its lessons, you unlock the ability to transform. Trauma, and the beliefs it creates, live in your body—but your body is designed to heal. And the key to that healing? Your breath.

Your breath is your magic. It’s your philosopher’s stone, your buried treasure, the bridge between who you are in this moment and who you’re meant to become. This ancient wisdom has been forgotten, but it’s time to remember: your breath is your magic.

So, what else can breathwork do for you?

It transforms, in every sense. Breathwork helps you rebuild self-love, self-worth, and a deep connection with your true self. It rejuvenates your body and mind by restoring your sense of wholeness and reminds you of the innate power you carry. But here’s where it gets really powerful: it doesn’t just release the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back—it anchors in new beliefs, beliefs rooted in your power, lovability, and worthiness.

When you breathe through your darkness, you’re not just shedding the old. You’re also creating space to anchor in new beliefs—beliefs that create the reality you’ve always desired. Your beliefs shape your reality, and when you shift your beliefs, you shift the very fabric of your existence.

Breathwork helps you reconnect with your most authentic self, and in doing so, you realize that the only thing ever holding you back were those limiting beliefs—beliefs that were written in your body as a result of trauma. Trauma, in its essence, is a teacher, but now it’s time to release the old, the false, and to breathe in new, expansive truths that serve you and your future.
This process is beautifully complex: embrace the darkness, learn from it, and use your breath to transform it. Trauma has taught you, but now you are ready to let go of the old stories and replace them with new beliefs that support the future you desire.

Breathwork is the only somatic modality that can physically, mentally, and emotionally transmute your darkness into light.
And when you apply deep intention—whether it’s for healing or for manifesting your future—the possibilities are limitless. You don’t just transform your past, you create your future.
That’s how freaking powerful you are.


Why is breathwork important?

Let’s get real: We live in a world that’s built on systems that keep us disconnected, distracted, and stuck. Breathwork is about reconnecting with your true, unshakable power. It’s about standing up to everything that’s been trying to hold you back—whether that’s societal conditioning, past trauma, or your own self-doubt.

This is where we reclaim our bodies, our minds, and our creativity. Breathwork isn’t just about healing; it’s about revolution. It’s about using our bodies to heal ourselves, our families, and our world.

If you're tired of playing small, breathwork is your invitation to stop surviving and start living. Ready to heal your trauma? Ready to release the weight of the past? Ready to break generational cycles? Then let's breathe.


What happens during breathwork?

Expect the unexpected. 
Your experience will be deeply personal to you. Certainly there are physical sensations you may feel, including tingling, headache, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, dry mouth and throat (coughing), muscle contraction (tetany), hot/cold flashes, and of course, tears. Lots of tears. And screaming. Laughing. Flailing. Some of these are rare, some of them super common, and some will vary from person-to-person. The important thing to remember is that every experience will be unique, and the best way to enter into any breathwork session is to do so with the best of intentions, an open heart and mind, and zero expectations. Depending on the technique, breathwork alters the levels of CO2 and O2 in our bodies, stimulates blood flow, constricts blood vessels, activates our sypathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, and helps to move stuck energy and emotions (energy in motion) through the body while releasing trauma/old beliefs. It can provide a hallucinogenic or altered state effect similar to certain plant medicines, and ultimately provide our bodies with the release it needs to integrate and overcome the experiences it has held on to and which keep us stuck in repeating patterns. Your body is a powerful, supernatural, self-healing device, and what CAN happen at a breathwork session has to be experienced to be believed.

What are the positive side effects of breathwork?

There is a reason breathwork is global movement. Discovering the power of the breath has been like discovering the lost treasures of ancient Egypt and remembering the power we have within ourselves to heal, transform, directly connect to our Higher Selves, and create new realities for ourselves right here, right now. It is grounding and awakening in one, and - quite simply - magic. Quality, conscious breath is one of the most important things you can do to better your well being, and it's been hiding in plain sight for as long as control mechanisms have been in place to rob human beings of their personal power and ability to heal both themselves, and the collective. 

But let's break it down for the individual, noting that the list below is not comprehensive - the benefits are far too vast to list here, and will also be deeply personal; the healing and experience that will take place at a breathwork session will be the healing and experience that your body needs, which is why the results of a breathwork session will look and feel different, person to person. 

Breathwork can provide:
  • Self-empowerment over personal struggles
  • Stress reductation and relaxation
  • Mindfulness and greater ease in navigating emotional triggers
  • Emotional release and release of old (and new) traumas
  • Spiritual awakening 
  • Altered, blissful states (aka, trip without the hangover)
  • Greater comfort and ease in your body
  • Pain relief (no, really)
  • Enhanced creativity and access to your own innate wisdom
  • Relief from the mind's negative feedback loops (get out of your head)
  • Wellness, wholeness, and a return to your true self
  • A dismantling of repeating patterns and cycles
  • And so much more.


Is breathwork safe?

For most people, yes, breathwork is safe, however, like most things in life...it's not one size fits all. There are certain contraindications that you need to be aware of before starting your breathwork practice, some of which are for breathwork writ large, and some which are dependent on the type of breathwork technique you're doing in a particular session. Having said that, if you're doing a 1:1 session, we will have already discussed your particular health concerns and arrived at a breathing practice to suit your needs. For group sessions, rest assured that the techniques selected are those which are least-activating (depending on the type of group session), but still deeply transformational. Maintaining your health, safety, and well-being is most important, and every person going into a WOO Breathwork experience agrees to exercise personal responsibility while taking the utmost care and consideration for themselves and the contraindications listed below.
Please be sure to check with a qualified medical professional if you have any questions about your health history and how it might impact your participating in breathwork.

  • Pregnancy (and post-partum)
  • Asthma
  • High blood pressure
  • Cardiovascular conditions
  • Post-surgery or post-injury
  • Diabetes
  • Seizures
  • Thyroid conditions
  • PTSD
  • Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or psychiatric conditions
  • Users of brain chemistry altering recreational drugs or medications
Contraindications that preclude breathwork include (but are not limited to):
  • Cardiovascular disease

What is the science behind the WOO?

Fortunately science is catching up with what ancient spiritual and wisdom traditions have known for thousands of years.
Humans have been living through a modern version of the dark ages, where we have cut ourselves off (whether intentionally or not) from the practices which have kept us attuned to our true natures; there are many reasons why, and conspiracy theories abound, but none of that really matters as much as what this has resulted in - humans feeling disconnected from themselves and each other, which leads to sicknesses of all kinds (both great and small).

Science is a sacred breadcrumb, here to help lead us back to where we've always been (and in fact, never truly left). While some beings can work off faith alone, science offers a different kind of permission slip, one that allows people of a different nature to explore healing options that maybe they wouldn't have otherwise considered. This is why science is such a sacred endeavour in the spiritual realm, because it offers those among us who need proof of miracles the chance to venture safely into the void. Science is a modern miracle, but a miracle nonetheless. It is just a different way to Source.

The following articles and sites offer a glimmer into the work being done to bring forth the miracle that is breathwork into the mainstream: 


What kind of breathwork techniques does WOO use?

WOO Breathwork is all about fusion, and uses a combination of traditional Pranayama techniques combined with techniques rooted in the modern breathwork movement (connected, circular breathing) to help you activate, release, and regulate. BreathWORDS and affirmative breath holds, both WOO Breathwork techniques, are also being incorporated into in-person and audio sessions and as part of our programs. Each WOO Breathwork session is carefully curated to ensure activation, release, transformation, and divine connection. The inclusion of ritual helps ensure that as a spiritual being, you feel cradled in remembrance of your true self, and thus provided the space in which to explore your belief systems.

Depending on themes, areas of exploration, needs and desires of the group and/or individual clients, a WOO Breathwork session and event can be curated to provide a very customized experience. Technique is only one part of the whole - after all, nothing about your session can happen without your awareness (of whatever you wish to change), and also your intention (to accomplish whatever it is you need or desire to accomplish). In this way, the breathwork just makes up one-third of the recipe - you are the most important ingredient!

And so, when awareness and intention come together - as well as the right techniques to support both - we can use breathwork to explore themes of deep relaxation, activation/release, divine connection, channeling, tapping into your sacred creativity, manifesting abundance, group cohesion/team-building, healing (which is always a byproduct of breathwork), and more. The possibilities are truly endless.



What do I need to know before attending a session?

For in-person events: Bring a yoga mat, a journal, and a water bottle. Comfort is key, so also bring a pillow, blanket, or eye mask if you need extra support. Trust me—this is your time to fully surrender.
For online sessions: Create a private space where you can fully let go. Turn your camera on or off as you wish, but make sure you’re set up to dive in with no distractions. Have a journal ready to capture your experience.
For audio journeys: Make sure you’re in a comfortable space where you can relax and focus on the practice. This is about you and the breath—nothing else.



Is it possible to have a transformative experience during an online session or audio journey?

Absolutely. Transformation happens when you show up, when you commit to the process. Whether you’re online or in person, breathwork is a personal journey—and the results are just as real, no matter where you are.
So, if you’re ready to show up with intention, trust the process, and release what’s been holding you back, you’ll experience exactly what you need.
