What is The BreathBreak Method™?

The BreathBreak Method™ is a trauma-informed, somatic breathwork and meditation system designed to help you return to safety, stillness, and self-connection. Rooted in the science of the nervous system and the wisdom of the breath, this method gently guides you through patterns of stress, emotional holding, and trauma residue—supporting natural regulation and deep internal healing. It combines conscious breath, mindful presence, and embodied awareness to create space for integration, release, and transformation—one breath at a time.
