Trauma-Informed Breathwork + HypnoBreathwork

You Are the Healer. Your Breath is the Catalyst.™

A Soulful Journey of Transformation Through the Power of the Breath

Beneath the roles you carry, the expectations you meet, and the stories you’ve internalized, there is a deeper truth within you — waiting to be felt, heard, and freed.

This is more than breathwork.
This is a remembering. A shedding. A becoming.
Welcome to your metamorphosis.

What Is Breathwork?

Breathwork is a somatic healing modality rooted in trauma-informed care and deep emotional release.
Through conscious, guided breathing, you’ll clear energetic blocks, release stored trauma, and return to your authentic self.

Whether you’re navigating life transitions, burnout, anxiety, grief, or simply seeking reconnection, this process invites you to unravel, process, and rise — all within a safe, grounded space.

You’ll be gently and skillfully guided through each phase of your journey, supporting deep healing across mind, body, and soul.

Why This Work Is Different

Breathwork isn’t just a technique — it’s a portal to transformation.
Within your breath lives the power to heal, awaken, and reclaim every part of you that’s been silenced or forgotten.

Rooted in trauma-informed therapy and holistic healing, this approach supports you to:

  • Release emotional blockages and stagnant energy

  • Reclaim clarity, peace, and purpose

  • Realign with your truth and inner wisdom

What You’ll Experience

Each session is a personalized invitation to:

  • Liberate stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

  • Reconnect with your body and emotions in a safe, supportive space

  • Shift subconscious patterns and heal long-held trauma

  • Access intuition, clarity, and your higher self

  • Restore balance across your nervous system, mind, and soul

The Power of Your Breath

True transformation begins within.
Like the lotus rising from the mud, your breath carries resilience, wisdom, and power.

With every inhale, you return to yourself.
With every exhale, you release what no longer serves.

Work With Caroline

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Somatic Healing Coach, and Trauma-Informed Breathwork + HypnoBreathwork® Facilitator, I guide clients through deep, integrative healing.

I blend somatic therapy, breathwork, hypnotherapy, inner child healing, and subconscious reprogramming to create a safe, soulful experience — both in person and online.

🌀 The Journey

🌱 Root – Ground into the Now

Settle into your body and create a foundation of safety and presence. Release surface tension and begin softening into yourself.

🌿 Unravel – Release What No Longer Serves

With each breath, you move deeper. Old patterns, emotional blocks, and limiting beliefs rise to the surface to be seen and released with compassion.

🌟 Reclaim – Remember Who You Are

With space cleared, your truth begins to return. You reconnect with your inner wisdom, voice, and power — free from external noise.

🦋 Rise – Embody Your Becoming

You emerge from the cocoon changed. Grounded, open, aligned — you begin to live from a place of clarity and inner strength.

🌊 Return – Live Your Truth in the World

Integration becomes the invitation. You carry your transformation into your relationships, choices, work, and everyday life — rooted in who you truly are.

Who This Is For

This journey is for you if…

  • You’re in a season of change or awakening and feel the pull to go deeper

  • You want to heal from the root and not just manage symptoms

  • You’ve outgrown old versions of yourself and crave aligned expansion

  • You’re ready to move from survival into soulful embodiment

  • You desire a safe, guided, and integrative space for emotional healing and release

Whether you're brand new to breathwork or deeply seasoned in inner work, this process meets you exactly where you are — and gently guiding you to where your soul is ready to go.

Why This Work Matters

In a world that constantly asks you to do more, fix more, and be more — this is where you exhale.
This is where you remember that you were never broken. Just buried.
Under layers of conditioning, trauma, grief, and expectation.

Here, you return to your essence. You breathe. You feel. You rise.

Ready to Begin?

Come experience the healing, clarity, and freedom that’s already within you — waiting to be unlocked through your breath.

A Therapeutic Approach to Breathwork

Breathwork is more than a technique — it’s a pathway to deep, embodied transformation. My trauma-informed approach weaves breathwork, hypno-breathwork, hypnotherapy, nervous system regulation, and somatic healing into a unique fusion that unlocks subconscious shifts, clears emotional blocks, and rewires patterns that keep you stuck.

With my clinical background as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I bring compassionate presence and therapeutic expertise to hold safe, grounded, and deeply healing space for you. This integrative practice meets all parts of you — mind, body, and spirit.

Breathwork is a powerful, evidence-based portal to healing, blending neuroscience, somatics, and soul work to regulate your nervous system, release trauma, and reconnect you to your inner wisdom.

Harnessing the Wisdom of Your Breath

Breathwork is a somatic reset — a gentle but powerful way to shift emotional energy, release the past, and open to inner clarity and peace. Through the breath, you can:

  • Release stress, anxiety, and stored trauma

  • Regulate your nervous system and increase resilience

  • Uncover subconscious patterns and emotional imprints

  • Access expanded states of healing, insight, and inner wisdom

Why Breathwork?

Breathwork is a sacred portal to transformation — the bridge to your subconscious where trauma and limiting beliefs live. Through conscious breathing, you awaken your body’s innate wisdom and unlock profound healing.

In this healing and transformative space, you will:

  • Release Emotional Blockages: Free trapped grief, pain, and trauma for peace and renewed vitality.

  • Heal Trauma at Its Core: Shift deep energetic imprints and restore connection to yourself.

  • Repattern Limiting Beliefs: Dissolve old stories and rewrite your inner narrative with empowering truths.

  • Restore Nervous System Balance: Reset your nervous system for resilience and groundedness.

  • Enhance Clarity and Inner Strength: Move through life with intuition, trust, and soul-led guidance.

My Integrative Approach:

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s a multidimensional journey. I blend trauma-informed care, somatic wisdom, subconscious reprogramming, and transformative breathwork to meet you where you are — honoring your body’s pace, your truth, and your capacity for growth.

  • Trauma-Informed Care: Gentle, compassionate, and safe. Your healing unfolds with trust and respect.

  • HypnoBreathwork: A potent fusion of breath and guided hypnosis to unlock subconscious healing and clarity.

  • Somatic Integration: Release stored trauma through body awareness, movement, and breath.

  • Transformative Breathwork: Meditative practice for emotional release, alignment, and spiritual connection, tailored uniquely for you.

My Breathwork Journey

I never fully realized how powerful and healing breathwork could be on all levels. Mentally, physically, spiritually, and energetically. I quickly, during my first breath session, knew with every cell in my soul that breathwork was my missing key. It was an undeniably profound experience. From that moment forward, I knew I not only wanted, but I also needed, to take the deep dive into my own healing, my own awakening, and help others do the same through breath.

As we intentionally breathe and change up our breath patterns, we bring awareness to our bodies. We are then able to reduce stress and anxiety, heal past pain and trauma, boost immunity, increase joy and happiness, improve sleep quality, reduce toxins in the body and provide an energetic release, rewire the brain to release old patterns and create new ones, shift your energy and mood, and so much more.

I invite you to take the journey into your own breath, release all that has been stuck in your system for years, awaken your soul, and step into your authentic and empowered self. I look forward to guiding you as you discover the wisdom you hold within!

BREATHWORK TESTIMONIALS

  • Caroline is an amazing facilitator. She is gentle and soothing and holds a very safe space. I felt very at ease with her. She is incredibly gifted at what she does. I loved the details Caroline brought in through out my session that she got from the questionnaire she had me fill out. They really helped me stay centered and focused on why i came to her in the first place. The entire session was unexpectedly healing and amazing. The music was perfect. I had an amazing vision during my breathwork session. It is something that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I feel truly shifted and supported now. I'm so grateful I did this!

    ~ MD

  • "This was such a valuable, illuminating, restful, yet energizing experience! I felt so relaxed afterward, yet excited to learn more and do more and use this in my personal and professional life moving forward! Thank you so much, Caroline!"

    ~ LS

  • "I really enjoyed how Caroline walked me through each type of breathing exercise. She gave me guidance and then stayed quiet to allow me to feel my body and go through my own experience. It was a great blend of support and self flow. I felt that my energy, mindset and awareness all changed by the end of the session. I felt much more calm, collected, happy, and aware. I was more aware of my body, my attitude, and more conscious of how I wanted to continue through the rest of the day. I highly recommend doing breathwork with Caroline!"

    ~ MR

  • "I laughed, I cried.. I breathed! I had a big emotional release during my session with Caroline and then again the next evening. It was exactly what I was hoping for honestly and what I needed. I moved toward some grief about the recent death of my brother that I have been holding at arms length for several weeks. It helped me embody the emotions in a way I don't often give myself time or permission for. Caroline was completely unobtrusive during my process and I felt very safe to have this experience in her presence. At the end of the session she allowed time to a debrief which felt very supportive. Thanks Caroline!"

    ~ VR

  • "Caroline is an experienced facilitator who offers a gentle, supportive presence from the varying beginning. Her guidance and support throughout a breathwork session allowed me to trust the process and fully engage. I am grateful for the opportunity to connect with my body in this way and to have an accessible tool to support me in navigating emotional and physical dysregulation and energy release. I felt so calm, peaceful and energetic afterwards. I am already eager to schedule my next appointment!"

    ~ JG

  • "Caroline is very skillful, soothing, and warm. She offers different breathing exercises and holds space for emotions/trauma to emerge as needed. Our session felt very safe and relaxing."

    ~ SE

  • "Caroline did a great job of explaining the theory behind breathwork and I was able to quick slip into the practice. Her presence was reassuring, enough to feel safe and guided without it disrupting my 'flow.'"

    ~ MS

  • "Caroline is as an excellent facilitator. She gave gentle suggestions and clear instructions for these breaths, and the environment felt very gentle and supportive. I noticed a subtle but important emotional shift after, and I’m definitely interested in trying this again."

    ~ JY

  • "Caroline was attentive to my questions, of which I have many. She was patient with me as I was very nervous and was tolerant of my concerns. I appreciated her demonstrating and describing some personal experiences that she had when first learning new techniques and how to avoid or prevent those things. I appreciated the extra care she took to read my information before the meeting and tailor our session including the music, which had some lyrics singing my chosen mantra!"

    ~ AP

  • "Caroline was great, she put me at ease, explained the process well. I felt I was in good hands the entire session. I would definitely recommend!"

    ~ NP
