BREATHWORK, REIKI, & SOUND HEALING
What is breathwork?
Breathwork is a somatic healing modality that uses controlled breathing patterns to shift your mental, emotional, and physical states. Some describe it as an elevated form of meditation that can mirror working with mild psychedelics. The increase of oxygen in the brain allows participants to access an altered state of consciousness safely and naturally, providing them with the opportunity to access new ways of thinking and processing. We love this practice as a way to release! Breathwork slightly activates the nervous system allowing the body to release stagnant energy, and complete our natural processing cycle, without saying a single word.

What is reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese practice used for stress reduction, increasing relaxation, and generally supporting the body and mind on a physical and energetic level. Reiki healing is based on the concept that energy flows through us, and imbalances in this energy can cause physical or emotional stress. Using the hands to channel healing energy, Reiki practitioners help restore the natural flow of energy in the body and allow the body to heal itself once in balance.
We offer Reiki in all of our breathwork sessions as it supports the client on this energetic level while the breath moves and cleanses the body; we also utilize intentional breathing in our Reiki sessions as we believe the two go hand in hand.
Why Sound healing?
Our bodies & minds are naturally responsive to sounds and vibration; when used intentionally, this practice can promote deep relaxation and encourage emotional and somatic processing. It is used to encourage a sense of peace, reduce stress, and aid in physical and emotional healing by affecting the body on a cellular level. Valerie achieves this through crystal bowls, tuning forks, and other instruments.
About Our offerings:
Our therapist Valerie Davis is a certified breathwork facilitator, Reiki II, & sound practitioner who is happy to guide clients through one or a combination of these practices. We expanded our holistic offerings even further to be able to provide valuable, body-focused healing for our clients. A session consists of education and intention setting, being guided through a breathwork/reiki/sound journey, and is closed with time to process what came up for both the participant and the guide.
