❤️Celebrate yourself and a loved one with this special offer❤️

Cultivate deeper self-love with a nourishing 1:1 session, or deepen the intimacy with a partner, friend, or family member in a couples session!

Couples breathwork is incredibly special because as you embark on your own journey, you also have the opportunity to connect on a deeper level with your partner. The tears, laughter, and shares I've witnessed in these sessions fills my heart with so much love and gratitude

In either the 1:1 or couples session, we'll start by co-creating an intention for your journey. This could sound like but is not limited to:
>>Creating more love
>>Allowing forgiveness
>>Gaining clarity on your goals & dreams
>>Connecting to your intuition

Whatever is on your heart...

Through the practice of breathwork, you can breathe into areas of constriction so that you can liberate yourself from limiting beliefs, stuck emotions, and difficult thoughts.

How to Sit with Your Emotions + Giveaway Announcement!

Sitting with your emotions can be the best way to process emotions instead of suppressing them through drinking, smoking, scrolling, etc. By sitting with and witnessing the sensations in your body, you allow your body’s natural process to unfold. This will take practice, so please have compassion for yourself if this is new to you.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐒𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

I recommend practicing this process often, even when you aren’t feeling intense emotions. It can be very difficult to start this practice if you wait until you feel overwhelmed. You can do this anytime you have a few minutes.

Find a safe space where you can be alone and set a timer for 5-10 minutes.

Sit or lie down in a position that feels comfortable.

Place your hand over your chest and bring your focus to the space at the center of your chest, breathing slowly and gently into this space. Focus on deepening your inhale through your nose and slowly releasing through your mouth

Notice any sensations that arise. Notice where you feel tightness or temperature shifts.

Get curious about what is coming up. If any thoughts come up arise, come back to your breath.

If your body wants to release in any way through tears, shaking, rocking, etc., follow those urges. Your body may express in ways that seem weird or abnormal - this is perfectly normal. Your body knows how to release, you just need to give it permission to do so.

Continue to bring your awareness to these sensations while breathing slowly and deeply. Notice how the sensations change as you place your awareness on them. Emotions typically take 90 seconds before they change and dissipate, so trust that it won’t last forever.

When your timer goes off, allow yourself to complete the process by taking 3 deep breaths with a powerful exhale.

Be gentle and speak kindly to yourself. Remember: sitting with your emotions is a skill that is developed with time. Practicing often will help you to strengthen this skill for when you really need it.

Did you follow along with this process? Let me know how it went for you 💜

Breathwork doesn’t have to be intense and scary - you get to go slow and at your own pace.

Every time I teach breathwork, there is always someone who is surprised at the gentleness of how I teach. Many breathwork styles are powerful and transformative with big emotional releases, but can also be overwhelming.

One thing I’ve learned in the 4 years of practicing breathwork is that the BIG releases aren’t always easy to integrate into your daily life. Expanding your nervous system past your natural capacity might leave you feeling ungrounded and afraid of the practice - and that’s the last thing I want you to experience.

I believe in soaking up the beauty in going slowly, of gently adding more intensity and constantly checking in with how you’re feeling.

By slowing down first and going at your body’s pacing, you get to deepen your relationship with your body and become more attuned to its whispers.

If you want to have a huge release in a breathwork session, then you can go for it! I’m here to hold space for your transformation….but it isn’t mandatory. If you feel safer by going slower, by taking baby steps and releasing bit by bit, then you get to do that too.

Are you ready to try out this gentler style of breathwork? Follow me to stay tuned for upcoming breathwork events! I host online workshops and in-person collaborations with amazing healers in the Calgary & Diamond Valley Area.

It’s been a hot minute since I introduced myself in this space, so here we go!

Hi! I’m Whitney. I live at the foot of the Rocky Mountains near Black Diamond, Alberta with my wonderful partner, dog, & 4(yes…4) cats.

I have an incredible passion for teaching breathwork to as many people as possible. I truly believe that if more people could experience this powerful modality, they could begin to integrate and heal from years, even decades, of suppressed emotion.

I first discovered breathwork in 2019 after sending a desperate prayer to the Universe. For 10 years, I had been struggling with binge eating disorder, bulimia, and substance addictions. I was such an expert at hiding my emotions and struggles that no one in my life knew. I would walk around my daily life wearing the mask of “I’m strong, I can handle anything, I’ve got this”....But deep down I was crippled with anxiety, a pain that gnawed at my insides, threatening to eat me alive.

As I began to practice breathwork regularly, I accessed deeply hidden emotions that I had suppressed for many years. I cried, I yelled, I shook - everything my body needed to finally let go.

After a few years of integrating breathwork into my daily life, I felt ready to step into my soul’s calling of teaching it. It’s become my obsession to help people through the same transformation that I experienced in 2019: to connect to your emotions, to integrate your whole self, simply through conscious breathing.

Now, I am incredibly honored to offer breathwork in many different ways:
→ Online group breathwork classes over Zoom
→ Group in person classes in the Foothills and Calgary area
→1:1 breathwork in my 8 week program, Breathwork Burst
→ integrative breathwork in my IG lives

I want breathwork to be accessible to anyone who needs it. It brings me so much joy to hold space during these journeys - and to see someone experiencing their raw, authentic self always leaves me speechless.

If you’ve made it this far, thanks for taking the time to get to know me. Feel free to message me with any questions you might have about breathwork or anything else - I’m an open book.

There is power in your emotions.

Breathwork can tap you into their incredible fire.

I grew up having no idea what to do with intense emotions - so I would numb, drown, and suffocate them...but they would bubble up in toxic ways.

𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞. 𝐄𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈'𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬.

What does emotional expression look like in a breathwork session?
For me, it can look like stomping my feet, yelling, crying, moving, and releasing without restriction. I would have been terrified to do this alone, but by having space held for me by a loving and supportive facilitator, I can feel safe to explore.

I've become finely attuned to how different emotions feel in my body. I can sense when they arrive and what they’re communicating.

𝐁𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦. 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞.

BIG emotional expression doesn't need to be followed by shame and regret.

Your emotions have a purpose-𝒕𝒐 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒇𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒐𝒓 𝒏𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒔 𝒂𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

If you listen, you'll hear the deep wisdom of your emotions.

I have 3 spaces available to work with me in my 4 week program to introduce you to the transformational powers of breathwork and emotional healing.

This is for you if you are ready to dive deeper into healing trauma, reducing anxiety and depression, and having more mental clarity.

We’re all just little children in adult bodies.

When you’re criticizing, judging, and pushing yourself to do and be more - remember who you’re talking to.

Inside you is a little child with needs, wants, and desires - have you listened to them lately?

They want to play, enjoy life, feel loved and accepted, laugh and explore - have you given them the chance?

Everytime you ignore that desire - you’re telling that little child no.

If it’s been awhile since you’ve connected to them, it might feel odd to think about. That’s OK - keep an open mind.

Before the world told you who to be, how to behave, what to look like, how to be loved - you were innocent and full of love.

Wanna know a little secret?

You still are.

No matter how distant you feel from that childlike innocence - it’s still within you. Your inner child still aches to be loved and feel safe.

There’s many ways you can begin to heal the relationship with your inner child. Combining inner child work with breathwork has been pivotal in my personal healing journey.

Through the practice of deeply connecting with my emotions during breathwork, I’ve reopened that communication channel that allows me to experience the childlike play and innocence.

From this place, life is a lot easier.

When my inner child's needs are met, stress doesn’t get to me as much. Other people’s actions don’t throw me into an emotional outburst as intensely as they used to. I don’t push myself to work so hard or be someone I’m not - because I’ve developed that loving relationship with that sweet little girl inside.

I’ve discovered that when I tell myself I’m not enough - I’m telling her that she’s not enough. And that breaks my heart.

This is one of the many ways I’ve helped my clients deepen their healing through breathwork, and I’d love to guide you too.
I have 4 spots open for an in-depth breathwork program that will support you in deepening your healing, discovering your authentic self, and embodying all that you desire to be.
