THE PROBLEM
Something happens in the space between sessions.
A woman leaves her therapist's office having touched something real - a memory surfaced, a pattern named, a long-held tension finally acknowledged. She feels cracked open in the way that healing sometimes requires. And then she drives home. She picks up her kids. Her phone buzzes. Her nervous system, without an anchor, begins to drift.
By the time she returns the following week, the window has often closed. Not because the work wasn't meaningful - but because the body doesn't hold insight on its own. The nervous system needs repetition, rhythm, and a way to return to regulated states between the moments of clinical support.
This is not a failure of the client. It is a gap in the infrastructure of care.
For women specifically, this gap is compounded. The nervous systems of women navigating trauma, addiction recovery, or healing from the accumulated weight of patriarchal conditioning - people-pleasing, over-functioning, self-abandonment, relational trauma - are not simply anxious. They are patterned. Shaped over years, sometimes decades, by environments that required constant vigilance, shrinking, or survival-mode functioning. One hour of therapy per week, however skilled the clinician, cannot on its own rewire what took a lifetime to build.
What these women need, between sessions, is not distraction. Not generic meditation. Not content built for the general wellness market that has no awareness of their specific history, their triggers, or the clinical landscape they're navigating.
They need a tool built for them.
WHY GENERIC TOOLS DON'T FILL THIS GAP
The wellness app market is vast. Calm has tens of millions of users. Headspace is prescribed by doctors. YouTube offers thousands of free meditation and breathwork videos. And yet clinicians working with women in trauma recovery will recognize a familiar pattern: their clients either don't use these tools, use them and feel nothing, or occasionally use the wrong one at the wrong moment and end up more dysregulated than before.
This is not a coincidence. It is a design problem.
Consumer wellness tools are built for the general population - for stress reduction, sleep, and productivity. They are not built with complex trauma in mind. They do not distinguish between a grounding practice appropriate for someone in early stabilization and an activating breathwork session that could destabilize a client who is not yet resourced enough to process what surfaces. They do not flag contraindications. They do not sequence content with a therapeutic arc in mind. They do not speak to the specific nervous system signatures of women navigating addiction recovery, relational trauma, shame patterns rooted in systemic conditioning, or the particular exhaustion of a woman who has spent her life over-functioning for everyone but herself.
Handing a client in early trauma recovery a generic breathwork app is a little like handing someone a pharmacology textbook and telling them to figure out their own medication. The information exists. But without context, sequencing, and specificity, it can do more harm than good.
Women in therapeutic environments deserve better infrastructure than that.
WHAT NERVOUS SYSTEM CONTINUITY ACTUALLY REQUIRES
I am not a clinician. I want to say that plainly, because what follows comes from a different kind of knowing.
It comes from being a woman who spent years in my own healing - navigating trauma, addiction recovery, and the particular exhaustion of having lived inside a nervous system that never quite felt safe. It comes from conversations with practitioners - social workers, therapists, counselors - who described the same pattern in their clients that I recognized in myself. It comes from time spent facilitating breathwork in recovery environments and with women seeking transformation, watching what happened when someone found a practice they could return to between sessions, and what happened when they didn't.
I am not writing this as an expert in clinical treatment. I am writing it as someone who was the woman in the gap — and who then spent two years building something for her.
What I observed, across my own experience and in listening closely to the women and practitioners around me, is that nervous system continuity between sessions requires four things that most tools don't offer together.
It requires safety first. Before any processing, any activation, any identity work - a woman's nervous system needs to know it is not in danger. Tools that skip this step, that move straight into emotional excavation without establishing a felt sense of safety, can retraumatize rather than heal.
It requires specificity. A woman in early addiction recovery navigating shame spirals needs something different than a woman working through postpartum identity collapse, or one processing the slow grief of decades of self-abandonment. The tool needs to know who it's talking to.
It requires sequencing. Healing is not a playlist on shuffle. The nervous system learns through repetition and progression. A single powerful session means far less than a thoughtfully sequenced arc that builds capacity over time - the way a good therapist builds a treatment plan rather than responding only to whatever arises in the room that day.
And it requires clinical awareness. Not every breathwork technique is appropriate for every person at every stage of healing. Activating breath patterns can destabilize someone who is not yet resourced. Trauma-focused visualizations require containment. A tool being used in a therapeutic context needs to have been built with that context in mind - including clear contraindications, activation levels, and guidance on appropriate use.
This is what was missing. So I built it.
INTRODUCING THE WOO BREATHWORK PLATFORM
Women Owned and Operated — Built from the Inside Out
The WOO Breathwork streaming platform is a curated, clinically aware nervous system library built specifically for women navigating trauma healing, addiction recovery, and the long work of coming back to themselves.
It is not a general wellness app. It was not built for the mass market. Every audio in this library was created with a specific woman, a specific nervous system state, and a specific therapeutic context in mind. The platform currently houses over 75 original breathwork audios organized into sequenced series, each designed with a distinct therapeutic arc. These are not standalone tracks on shuffle. They are programs —built the way a treatment plan is built, with intention, progression, and the understanding that the nervous system learns through repetition over time.
The library includes:
The Power Lift — A 13-week identity transformation journey moving women from internalized conditioning and self-doubt toward authentic direction, purpose, and embodied confidence. Available in 60-minute immersive sessions and 20-minute between-session practices.
The Shadow Light — Deeper trauma processing work including inner child integration, cosmic self expansion, and trauma reframe, designed for women ready to engage stored emotional material within a structured container.
The Lightning Shift — A 5-week belief reprogramming series using activating breath and identity anchoring to interrupt limiting narratives and install new self-concept at a somatic level.
Breath to Belong — A 3-week series addressing people-pleasing, boundary collapse, approval-seeking, and the deep nervous system wound of feeling like belonging must be earned.
Breath to Balance — Hormonal and nervous system regulation support for women navigating depletion, burnout, emotional reactivity, and disconnection from their own internal rhythm.
Breath to Be Seen — Visibility work for women whose nervous systems have learned that being seen is dangerous. Designed for women stepping into leadership, expression, or simply learning to take up space.
Breath to Bloom — Somatic reconnection to sensuality, desire, and embodied pleasure for women whose relationship with their own body has been shaped by trauma, shame, or chronic shutdown. Developed with careful attention to survivor contraindications.
Breath to Break the Loop — Addiction and habit change support using urge surfing, identity anchoring, and nervous system regulation to interrupt compulsive patterns and build a new self-concept around sovereignty and choice.
Breath to Burn — Body relationship work that approaches weight, metabolism, and physical self-concept through nervous system safety rather than force, shame, or control.
Daily Practices — Morning and evening regulation rituals designed to bookend the day with intention and nervous system care.
Signature Experiences — Standalone sessions including Quit That Shit, Break the Cycle, Self-Love Surrender, Mystic Healing Trance, The Breakthrough, and other- each addressing a specific nervous system state or healing threshold.
The Magician's Garden — A children's breathwork collection featuring 10 original audio stories using the Magic Breath to support emotional regulation, self-worth, bedtime settling, anxiety, grief, change, and shame in children. Designed for use in family, clinical, and group settings.
Every audio in the library includes full contraindication notes, activation level guidance, use case tagging, and audience designation - so practitioners can recommend specific content to specific clients with confidence, knowing the tool was built with clinical awareness rather than general wellness assumptions.
This is nervous system infrastructure. Designed for the women your practice serves.
HOW IT WORKS FOR YOUR PRACTICE
The WOO Breathwork platform is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing therapeutic workflows without adding complexity or administrative burden. There is no app to download. Clients access the platform through a simple web-based portal, from any device, at any time - making it genuinely accessible in the moments they need it most. Three in the morning when sleep won't come. Twenty minutes before a difficult conversation. The afternoon a craving surfaces and they need something to return to.
Licensing is available at three tiers, priced in Canadian dollars, designed to reflect the scale of your practice.
Solo Practitioner — $49 CAD/month For individual therapists, counselors, or social workers in private practice. License the full WOO library to recommend to your clients as a between-session regulation resource. Provide your clients with access to a curated nervous system tool that was built with their specific healing context in mind.

All tiers include access to the complete audio library, including all sequenced series, daily practices, signature experiences, and The Magician's Garden children's collection. The library is updated regularly as new content is added.
Onboarding is simple. Once your license is active, you receive access to the portal and guidance on how to navigate the library and recommend specific content to clients based on their presenting needs, stage of healing, and contraindication profile.
No technical expertise required. No complex integration. Just a well-built tool, ready to use.
A NOTE ON WHO BUILT THIS
I want to be transparent with you, because I think transparency builds more trust than credentials ever could.
I am not a therapist. I am not a social worker or a clinical psychologist. I do not have letters after my name that authorize me to treat trauma or addiction.
What I have is this.
I am a woman who navigated her own recovery from trauma and problematic drinking and found breathwork on the other side of it. I am a certified breathwork facilitator who has sat with women in recovery environments and transformation spaces and watched what happens when someone finds a practice that helps them come home to their own body. I am a broadcast journalist by training, which means I understand how to craft an experience through sound - and every audio in this library was produced with that care. I am a mother. I am a woman who has lived inside many of the nervous system patterns this library was built to address - the fawning, the over-functioning, the shame, the self-abandonment, the slow work of learning that safety is something you can build from the inside.
I built this platform because I was the woman in the gap. And because when I looked for something like it - something built specifically for women like me, with clinical awareness and real sequencing and content that actually spoke to what we carry - it didn't exist.
This platform is not designed to replace your clinical work. It is designed to support it. To be the thing your clients can return to between sessions when the work you've done together needs somewhere to land.
I built it from the inside out. And I think that matters.
LET'S TALK
If any part of this resonates — if you recognize the gap this platform was built to fill, or if you're curious whether it might serve the women in your care - I'd love to have a conversation.
Not a sales call. Just a 30-minute conversation between two people who care about the same women.
