Ashlyn is a breathwork facilitator, reiki practitioner, medical professional and teaches yoga locally. She believes that breath is a muscle medicine and energy, and is the fastest way to connect mind, body and spirit. Ashlyn came to find breathwork after years of her own mental health struggles, and lack of connecting to herself.  Upon finding this fast track to self integration she learned the technique to share with others. 

 

The conscious connected breathing technique that Ashlyn guides can help bring about somatic release of emotion that’s been trapped in the body and nervous system. These energies might look like trauma, limiting beliefs, negative habits, anger, anxiety, fear, guilt, shame, grief, stress, boundary issues, ect.  Talk therapy can help us identify and work through many of these issues, but it doesn’t release it from the body.  This energy work by using the breath can help clear our channels in order to allow our life force to move through our body in a healthy, organic way again. 

 

Ashlyn’s goal is to help you find ease in your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual body. She helps you go within and breathe through the conscious and unconscious, while helping you plant seeds of affirmation to replace what you are releasing.  Ashlyn wants to help you connect to your heart space to access living from a place of pure love and acceptance, and to get in touch with your most authentic self.  If you show up to do the work, Ashlyn will be here to support you every step of your breathwork journey.

Breathwork is an active meditation and breathing practice which allows you to use your breath as medicine.  Utilizing this somatic energy work, you can help clear emotions and blockages, and allow your life force to move through your body in a healthy, organic way again. This conscious connected breathing practice calls to anyone willing to go deeper within, meet your shadows, and rise up to do the work.  Breathwork connects you to your heart space to access living from a place of pure love and acceptance, and to get in touch with your most authentic self.
