Somatic Release Breathwork™

Release your pain. Reconnect to your heart center.

Free yourself from unprocessed emotion and rewire your nervous system in this group healing experience.

Trauma = the dis-order of the present moment.

Have you ever found yourself scanning a room, feeling unsafe, insecure, or on edge? Sometimes it’s hard to know why you’re feeling the way you feel. You just know you feel incredibly uncomfortable.

This is a trauma response.

The Effects of Suppressed Emotions in the Body

From the day we’re born, we begin storing instinctual defenses and repressed emotional reactions in our nervous system: the electrical field that communicates with our surroundings. When we endure physical or emotional pain, the messages we receive get stuck in our bodies, causing dis-connection from ourselves, others, and our environment. Often, this leads to dis-ease and dis-ordered thinking.

Release the pressure. Restore your brain and body.

Somatic Release Breathwork™ is a 2-hour integrative group healing experience that releases defensive reactions and rewires your subconscious mind, reconnecting you to your authentic self.

What to Expect

Somatic Release Breathwork™ is a dynamic mix of trauma education and reconstruction of the mind-body-spirit. This powerful combination offers deeper healing than what you might find in a traditional talk therapy setting.

Trauma Education

Somatic Release Breathwork™ begins with education about how trauma affects the nervous system (soma) and changes how humans relate to their external world.

Multi-modal Grounding

We’ll use scent orientation, guided meditation, and centering exercises to ground you into the present moment so that you can feel safe enough to “let go.”

Breathwork with Sound Vibration

The breathwork portion of your session is a 1-hour Sound Vibrational experience, along with Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) cues to activate your body's innate ability to heal itself.

Sacred Spaceholding

Each participant will have their own unique experience with an empathetic witness coaching them through the whole process. By feeling safe enough to release the defensive actions in the body, the brain can rewire old subconscious programming.

Somatic (Body) Repatterning

When you are injured on a somatic level, your brain creates subconscious stories of darkness. By giving yourself permission to heal and feel, you’ll reconnect to your own infinite source of love: your heart.

Integration

At the end of your session, you’ll have the opportunity to reflect through journaling and grounding. If you feel comfortable, you can share your journey with the group to normalize your experience and receive validation.

Meet your guide

I’m Alicia, a licensed Mental Health Professional and Certified Trauma Counselor, Certified Coach, business owner, mother, and holistic ambassador. But at my core, I’m an overcomer.

While surviving intense childhood trauma, I did everything I could do to try to fit in and “appear” normal like everyone else. This only caused me more suffering, shame and heartbreak as I tried to hide the pain of my past and how it defined me. For a long time, I felt different and alone. Refusing to settle, I knew there had to be answers. So I spent every spare moment researching trauma and holistic healing. This allowed me to radically heal my past wounds, deprogram myself from societal norms, and reawaken to my own divinity and purpose here on Earth.

For over 15 years, I’ve empowered my own therapy and coaching clients with the practices that have set me free.

Somatic Release Breathwork™ is more than a therapy session.

It’s an integrative healing ceremony. With your own breath, you’ll release stress, remove emotional blocks, and clear on a mental/psychological level. Somatic Release Breathwork™ is a rapid method to find relief from old wounds and gain newfound clarity and insight into who you are, and how you want to feel.

"I've never heard of Somatic Release Breathwork and it seemed like a scary ritual at first but after trying it, I am still wrapping my head around how two hours could be as powerful as this session was. Alicia did an amazing job making the group mentally and physically prepared but also in guiding us the whole way through the meditation. Most simply put it is a great way to naturally detox your body of stress and is a tool I will continue to use. I am so grateful."

"I went to Alicia's breathwork session without any expectations and I was blown away! She did a great job of walking us through the process and what we might feel or experience throughout the session. She created a safe place for us all to collectively open up and share together. I would definitely recommend her class! I had a huge sense of relief afterward and I loved that she gave us plenty of time to integrate and process before coming back to 'reality'".

— Caroline
"WOW! What an experience! I was not expecting to feel what I did and I cannot thank Alicia enough for creating a safe space to release the energy. Her touch during it was so special and I loved the sound bowls and essential oils. I cannot thank her enough for allowing this to happen. I feel great!"

— Harley
"I've spent the last 36 hours reflecting on the experience as it is unlike anything I've ever done before. It felt very cleansing, allowing the opportunity for self-growth and processing to take priority. The intense sensations seemed to float away and I was left in a very calm, relaxed state. I felt a profound sense of eagerness to connect to my true self, that is separate from the expectations of others. I was really able to embrace myself within my whole body. I will definitely be signing up for another session!"

— Chris
"Today was wild! I had very little understanding of what the session would be like, but I am very grateful I was able to experience it. I cannot believe how safe it felt to let go of bigger, deeper emotions that I've carried for a long time. Often, I struggle tremendously allowing myself to feel everything I felt. The breathing definitely helped and having the light touch, and comfort definitely helped. It was intense but left me feeling more connected and confident within myself."

— Jen
"Alicia's breathwork sessions have always been so powerful for me. She holds a safe, encouraging space that has allowed me to work through some really intense processes. I always come out on the other side feeling lighter, empowered and grateful. I highly recommend this incredibly potent work!"
