Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) is a rhythmic, cyclical style of breath (in and out through the mouth) that allows you to dive deep into your inner world. This breathwork turns off the brain’s Default Mode Network (DMN)—quieting the ego and bringing you into a relaxed state where healing can occur. In this non-ordinary state of consciousness, the past, present, and future can surface, allowing you to express and transmute thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

Breathwork operates at multiple levels: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. It helps reset and recalibrate the nervous system while building internal safety. We work from the belief that fear and pain are opportunities to move deeper into self-love and self-acceptance. Everything in this space is done with love and respect for your journey toward healing, evolution, and connection

Breathwork can support:
- clearing limiting beliefs
- reliefs from PTSD
- anxiety and depressive feelings
- supporting better sleep
- anchoring in new affirmations and self beliefs
- healing childhood trauma and inner work
- deepen self connection
- strengthening intuition
- boosting the immune system
- more self love
- relief of physical aches and pains
& more

What to Expect during a session:

Group introduction and intention-setting

“Opener” experience to quiet the mind and open up to the breathwork

A 45-60 minute breathwork journey (where you are shown the breath technique) to release and reconnect

Time for integration and optional sharing in the group

Stay afterward for 1:1 chats with Rachel for clarity or personal reflection on anything that came up during the session if desired - we will officially finish at 4.30, but I will stay around until 5

You are invited to share as much or as little as you want. These spaces are crafted to meet you where you are at, and to
benefit on such a wide range of levels and ways that truly hold you.
