We all breathe, but did you know that there is a way to breathe in a way that you can start to heal your emotions? Breathwork is a technique that draws on the breath to facilitate emotional release.

Today, Maria, and Tara speak with Trish Brewer, a trauma informed breathwork coach, reiki master teacher, and intuitive guide. Her work is to create and hold space for you to serve as your guide back to your whole self. She believes that when we allow ourselves to be supported, we expedite our own healing and self discovery. She knows this to be true from her own experience.

Trish has earned her Breath Coach Certification from Yoga Teachers College, studied under David Elliot, a Breathwork pioneer, and completed her trauma training with the NARM Training Institute (NeuroAffective Relational Model). She sees herself as a life-long student deepening her practice through on-going education and exploration.

In this episode:

• How to properly breathe to feel better.
• The benefits of breathwork.
• Teaching your kids how to use breathing techniques to relax.
• A live breathwork demo.
