Why pay to breathe?
Breathing is free, so why pay someone to help you do it? It’s a fair question. Here’s my honest answer, and what actually changes in a 1:1 session.
Nerves aren't the enemy (I promise!)
Before every audition my heart pounds and my hands go ice cold. For years I tried to make it stop. Here's why I stopped fighting my nerves, and how my breath helps me use them instead.
Reflections on my trip to San Diego
I flew solo to San Diego to learn from my breathwork teacher in person. I came back more present, more joyful, and more myself than I’ve felt in a very long time. Here’s what happened in there.
Diving Deeper: Headed to San Diego
In three weeks I’m getting on a plane to train with the founder of Pause Breathwork. Here’s the grief, fear and hope I’m packing, and what I’m ready to leave behind.
What is Breathwork?
It has the word “work” in it, but it’s easier and more natural than it sounds. What actually happens in a session, and the science behind it (nerd hat on!).
Why breathwork?
For over a decade, stress was just my baseline. This is the story of how the elastic band finally snapped, and how breathwork helped me release what I’d been carrying.
Reflections for the New Year
A postponed concert left me with a wide open January and one question: what do I actually want to show up for? The first time I wrote about breathwork.
RESURRECTION
I haven’t written a blog post since fall of 2023 when the KWS announced its bankruptcy and I have to be honest, it has been really hard these past few years.
Silence...
KWS filed for bankruptcy days before we moved into our new house in Waterloo. I still feel paralyzed by the situation I suddenly find myself in.
