Breath.
Presence.

"Just as a musician tunes before performing, we can learn to attune our nervous system - so we can meet life with clarity, presence, and grounded energy."
I'm Bénédicte - Juilliard-trained violinist, Concertmaster of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, and Breathwork facilitator. Two practices, one thread: the discipline of showing up fully, in body and sound.
The violin
A life in
music
Concertmaster of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony, Juilliard-trained, and performing across chamber and solo stages. Music has always been a practice of total presence.
Attuned Breathwork
Come back
to yourself
Trauma-informed breathwork for musicians, creatives, and anyone navigating stress. Sessions are free while I complete my Pause Breathwork certification.
THE THREAD
Music & breath
are the same
practice
For years, I lived in the pressure and perfectionism of high-level performance. I showed up on stage with everything I had - but chronic stress was quietly shaping my life offstage, affecting my health, my creativity, and how I showed up as a wife and mother.
"Breathwork became the turning point - a way to meet the nervous system with the same care I'd always brought to music."
Now I guide others through this same journey. Whether through sound on stage or breath in a session, the intention is the same: to help you arrive, fully, in your own life.
Upcoming Concerts
What a
breathwork
session offers
1-on-1 sessions
30 or 60-minute online sessions, fully guided and tailored to where you are - whether preparing for a performance, feeling overwhelmed, or wanting to return to yourself.
Breathwork uses intentional breathing patterns to shift the state of the nervous system - releasing chronic stress, reducing performance anxiety, and building resilience. No experience needed. Just a willingness to breathe.
