PERSONAL STORY

Breathwork has been one of the most integral and important modalities on my healing journey. I spent the vast majority of my life running away from everything uncomfortable due to a protective decision that I made as a very little girl: it is not safe to be in my body and it is not safe to feel. This led to me developing severe dissociation anxiety. I made this protective decision due to growing up in a household filled with chaos and fighting; all of this was way too much for my system to handle at this young and tender age, so leaving my body and dissociating actually served me during this time. But as I got older, this protector began to hurt me way more than it helped me. The dissociation eventually morphed into a drug and alcohol addiction and an eating disorder-- the perfect way to continue to numb myself out.

was constantly looking for relief and validation outside of myself and literally didn’t even know what it felt like to be in my body. Eventually, the addiction led me to a very dark path where getting sober was my only option. So, when I decided to get sober about two and a half years ago, all of the things I numbed myself from feeling for my entire life came flooding back at once. Everything felt so raw and intense and I just wanted to escape my skin. But my soul knew that I needed to find a way to sit with my feelings if I wanted a beautiful and present life. This is when I discovered breathwork. Breathwork allowed me to get into my body and move through my emotions and made me realize that it is SO safe to feel in my body--that my body holds the capacity to feel all the things I once thought would “kill” me, that my body is so, so powerful.

Purpose of Breathwork

Stacks Image 1242

The purpose of breathwork is to get us out of our heads and into our bodies, to put it simply. Breathwork allows us to quickly bypass the ego and mind so that we can really get in touch with what’s going on in our bodies. A common misconception that most people have is that we have to logically think out how to emotionally feel better, and that this is the way to healing. When in reality, the only way to heal, is to viscerally feel the emotions in our bodies and let our bodies do the work, and there is no better way to do this than breathwork. And when we are in this energetically open state that breathwork brings us to, we allow the blockages to melt away, which allows us to heal trauma and deep repressed emotional pain.

    ...Nicole, she naturally created a safe space to ask myself, “what do I truly want out of life?” Not only does she inspire each individual client, but she lives and preaches her truth for all to follow and be inspired by on social media, serving as an inspiration for women in all different walks of life. She’s a BADASS!

    Nicole led me a through a beautiful session on abundance and letting go so that I can let in all that is meant for me. I kept hearing this phrase circulate my mind and body throughout the entire session - "peaceful power". I have no clue why that came up but it feels so right. It feels like that defines by being. Just slowly shedding light on my truth with each session - it was so beautiful!

    Nicole really created a space that allowed me be kinder and more compassionate towards myself than I have been lately, which allowed me to find great release. I can see how regular practice with this kind of work could yield great results over time, especially working one on one consistently with a coach that you trust...

    Nicole!!! I cannot thank you enough for the breathwork session today. I had no idea what to expect but it was really magical. It’s so rare to take that time to connect to my body that deeply. The release of energy and emotion that I would usually shy away from moving through was so beautiful.
