Breathwork & Mindfulness Workshop
How to Relieve Stress and Reconnect to Your Inner Power
About the workshop:
Most of us live in a constant state of stress without even realizing it—caught up in shallow breathing, overthinking, and fear-driven responses. In this workshop, you can break that cycle by exploring the connection between the nervous system and the breath. Together, we’ll practice conscious diaphragmatic breathing, learn how stress hides in the body, and use guided breathwork with visualization to reset your energy and reconnect with presence. Whether you’re looking to ease anxiety, improve focus, or simply create more peace in your daily life, you’ll leave with practical tools you can use anytime, anywhere. Join us for this empowering workshop.
About the instructor:

Having discovered the possibility of expansive transformation from the inside out through her own healing journey, she guides others to heal holistically and to live with greater peace, purpose, and authenticity, infusing every session with her passion for vitality, connection, fun, and growth.
