How Breathwork Changed Me

I first experienced Breathwork — specifically Rebirthing — in my early twenties. But truthfully, I wasn’t ready. I was still tightly clinging to my identity, and the idea of surrender felt foreign… cue the tetany! I wanted to heal, but I wasn’t yet willing to truly let go.
So, I turned to energy healing. I became attuned to Reiki, dove into multiple Pranic Healing courses, and began offering sessions to friends and family. It was a beautiful and empowering path, and I took it as far as I could. But deep down, I knew something was still untouched. My core wounds were still quietly calling for me.
Then life happened — as it does. Some of my own traumas surfaced, and I knew it was time to return to the breath.
Looking back now, over the past 11 years, it’s humbling and beautiful to see just how profoundly Breathwork has changed me.
The biggest shifts?
✨ I’m less reactive.
Before Breathwork, I had enough repressed anger to power a small city. Everything felt personal. These days, I respond rather than react — and I do so from my heart. This single shift has had the most powerful impact on my relationships and my peace of mind.
✨ I have strong boundaries and a deeper sense of inner power.
Power isn’t about control or dominance — it’s about being anchored in your truth. Breathwork helped me come home to myself. I no longer betray my needs to please others. I move through life grounded, open, and aligned with who I really am.
✨ I’ve reconnected with joy and creativity.
I used to let the outside world dictate how I felt. Now, I know my emotional well-being comes from within. I’ve reclaimed my joy, and I feel so much more alive.
And truly, the list goes on — more presence, more confidence, more lightness and trust in life. It’s not that challenges don’t come. They still do. But I meet them with a curious, open heart and a sense of deep inner guidance. Life feels easier, more abundant, and full of possibility.
Yes, Breathwork has changed me — in ways I never could’ve imagined.
Life is easier, more abundant and I’m excited to be a part of it.
