NOW OPEN FOR REGISTRATION
Level 1: BreathBreak Foundations
Discover Your Body, Your Breath, and Your Healing

I’m so incredibly blessed and humbled to officially launch the BreathBreak Method™ Certification Training — a practice that has been quietly evolving through years of personal healing, trauma-informed study, and the power of the breath.

This one-day, in-person experience is more than a workshop — it’s a nervous system reset, a deep dive into your body’s own ability to regulate, restore, and remember peace.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

The science of the vagus nerve and how breathwork calms stress and reduces cortisol

Foundational techniques: Box Breathing and Diaphragmatic Breathing

The Breath–Emotion–Body connection

Meditation and mindfulness tools to quiet the “monkey mind”

Somatic journaling for self-awareness

Trauma-sensitive 1:1 breath facilitation practices

Why This Matters:
Chronic stress impacts your digestion, sleep, emotional health, and clarity. BreathBreak is specifically designed to regulate the nervous system and activate your body’s natural healing response through gentle, rhythmic, vagus-activating techniques.

You’ll leave with tools to ground yourself in daily life—and if you're a practitioner, you'll be equipped to begin guiding others too.

🧘‍♀️ TWO WAYS TO JOIN:
1️⃣ Layperson Self-Care Experience – $250.00
Perfect for personal use, stress relief, and healing.

2️⃣ Practitioner Level One – $375.00
Includes certification path with exam, case studies, and BreathBreak Level 1 Practitioner credentials.

Your Breath Is Your Superpower — Use It to Heal.

Your body is listening to your breath.
Every shallow inhale signals survival mode.
Every intentional, conscious breath whispers safety.

✨ The BreathBreak Method™ isn’t just about calming the mind — it’s about what happens in your body when you do.

Here’s what breathwork does for you physically:
• Lowers cortisol and stress hormones
• Regulates blood pressure
• Improves oxygen delivery and cellular function
• Enhances digestion by activating the parasympathetic nervous system
• Supports immune function and detoxification
• Eases muscle tension and chronic pain

This isn’t woo — it’s science in motion.
Your nervous system is waiting for you to exhale.

And when you do?
Your body begins to repair, reset, and restore.

Take one deep breath right now — and give your body the medicine it’s been craving.

🌀 The BreathBreak Method™: Real breath. Real healing. Real results.

Our World Has Changed. Please Read.

What we see around us is not the same. The rise in missing persons reports is alarming—and it’s a call to be hyper aware of our surroundings and the choices we make daily.

Please, stay vigilant.

Don’t engage with strangers when you're alone.

Ladies (and men), if you're talking to someone online, tell a trusted friend. Share their name, photo, phone number, and screenshots.

If you’re meeting someone in person:

Meet in a public place.

Don’t let them pick you up.

Turn on live location sharing with a friend or family member.

Let someone know when you arrive—and when you leave.

Trust your gut. If something feels off, LEAVE. No explanation needed. Your safety comes first.

Create a code word with someone you trust for emergency check-ins.

Remember: AI can now mimic faces and voices. Not everything you see or hear is real. Stay grounded. Stay discerning.

Carry a safety tool (personal alarm, whistle, pepper spray, etc.) and know how to use it.
Keep your phone charged and location services on when out alone.
Park in well-lit areas. Check the back seat before entering your car. Lock doors immediately.
Watch your drink and never leave it unattended.

The world is very, very different now. But so are you. You’re wiser. Sharper. More aware.

Protect your peace. Protect your body. Protect your life.

This past weekend I was confronted woth comments about women using filters (from a man). It had me pondering a bit about societal perception and expectations. I've personally been struggling with the changes myself the past couple of years.
