Most of us have breath restrictions that we may or may not be aware of. Most of these restrictive patterns develop in childhood, unconsciously, as a way to help us "get through" difficult of painful situations in our lives, by preventing us from fully feeling the impact of those events. These coping mechanisms help us in the short term, but they often become habitual and do not serve us in the long term. Restricted, shallow breathing impacts every aspect of our lives, from the way our organs and immune systems function, to our energy level and our mental health. When we change the way we breathe, we change the way we feel! Often the first stage is to allow the held emotions to surface and be "met", or experienced so that they can finally be processed and integrated. The lovely thing about Breathwork is that the process is somatic (of the body), so there is no need to re-live any past situation. We lean into the body's innate intelligence to allow what arises to be met. Held emotions may release along with attached beliefs and storylines, or may move and resolve as pure sensation (hot/ cold/ tingling/ numbness) or as pure emotion experienced as a simple felt sense.
Aletheia Breathwork also opens up the breath and floods the body with life force energy. This creates physiological changes that can open us to altered states of consciousness. From this expanded state, we gain access to the inner healing intelligence of our body. With practice and familiarity we develop the capacity to surrender to this healing intelligence and the inherent ability of the body/mind to heal itself.
Through this breathing practice, we are allowing our body to do what it needs to do to heal ~ allowing sensations, allowing emotions, images ~ trusting that whatever arises is what is ready to be healed.
It is my honour and privilege to create a safe, healing space that welcomes you to feel, express yourself, move, tone & release whatever is not serving you, so that you have access to your natural joy & spontaneity. Each session is curated with an intentional music playlist and theme. We start with an opening circle, sharing intentions, and close in circle. You are supported throughout with a guided breathwork practice, specific affirmations tailored to your intentions, simple bodywork and energy healing.
I see this work as a "reclamation"... a way to find our way back to truly inhabit our breath, our body, and the truth of our beautiful, creative, loving and lovable selves, and of course, this opens us to our interconnectedness with each other & with all of life.

Kind words:
"Having participated in several of Cedar’s breathwork circles over the past year, I can say that Cedar holds space with graceful confidence. That makes it easy for me to let go and connect with my body, my emotions, my spirit — through sacred breath. Each session has been balm to my soul. I always leave rejuvenated and at peace."
