A Group Setting for Connection and Healing
This somatic breathwork group therapy session offers a unique opportunity to experience the collective energy and support of others on the same healing journey. Led by a skilled facilitator and psychotherapist, and now enhanced by the therapeutic power of sound healing, this experience invites deep emotional release, nervous system regulation, and inner transformation.
During the session, you’ll be guided through a variety of breathwork techniques designed to bring awareness to the body, calm the mind, and release stored emotional tension. As you journey through the breath, a sound therapist will offer a live sound bath—immersing you in soothing tones, resonant frequencies, and intentional rhythms designed to deepen your experience.
Group sessions can provide a safe, supportive environment to connect with others while deepening your own personal healing process.
Why Somatic Breathwork + Sound Healing?
Somatic breathwork is much more than deep breathing—it is a therapeutic practice that restores balance across your body, mind, and spirit. When paired with the restorative qualities of sound healing, the experience becomes even more potent.
Sound healing uses the therapeutic qualities of music and vibration to create a deeply relaxed and safe atmosphere where the body can shift out of stress and into a state of rest and repair. By immersing you in harmonizing frequencies, it supports the nervous system, slows the breath, and helps release tension. In this harmonious state, breath and sound work together to invite emotional release, clarity, and a return to inner balance.
The Benefits of Somatic Breathwork & Sound Healing
Together, these practices can support you in many ways, including:
• Stress Reduction: Breath and sound co-regulate the nervous system, activating your body’s natural relaxation response.
• Emotional Healing: Intentional breathing and vibrational sound can help clear emotional blockages and support deep release.
• Increased Mental Clarity: Enhanced oxygen flow and soothing sound waves support greater mental focus and clarity.
• Improved Sleep and Energy: Many participants report better sleep, reduced anxiety, and increased vitality after sessions.
• Mindfulness & Self-Awareness: Breath and sound help you connect more deeply with your body, emotions, and inner landscape.
Who Can Benefit?
This group is open to anyone seeking emotional healing, stress relief, and deeper connection with themselves. Whether you're navigating:
• High stress or anxiety
• Emotional exhaustion or burnout
• Difficulty regulating emotions
• Chronic fatigue or brain fog
• Unresolved trauma or physical tension
• Insomnia or disrupted sleep
Somatic breathwork and sound healing offer a gentle yet powerful path forward.
