What Is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a powerful practice that uses conscious, intentional breathing techniques to help release stress, process emotions, and access deeper states of awareness. By connecting with the breath, it’s possible to calm the mind, energize the body, and unlock profound healing and transformation.
Among the various breathwork styles, Somatic Breathwork is known for facilitating profound emotional and energetic releases, often within a single session. Using a three-part breathing pattern, this method helps release stored trauma and tension, clear energetic blockages, and awaken deeper awareness. It’s a transformative practice that can shift limiting mental patterns, reconnect with the body, and open the door to greater emotional and spiritual freedom.
How Does It Work?
Breathwork works by activating the body’s innate healing mechanisms through conscious, rhythmic breathing patterns. This practice engages the nervous system, promoting a shift from the fight-or-flight response to a state of deep relaxation and safety. As the breath flows, it increases oxygen levels, helping to release tension stored in the body and quiet the mind.
On a physiological level, breathwork stimulates the vagus nerve, balances the autonomic nervous system, and can help regulate emotions. It also encourages the release of endorphins and other natural chemicals, creating a sense of well-being and emotional relief. These effects make it possible to access and release stored trauma, clear energetic blockages, and foster profound healing and transformation.
Breathwork has its origins in the ancient yogic practice of
pranayama (the control and expansion of life force through the breath). From this perspective, the breath serves as a bridge between the physical body and the subtle energy systems, harmonizing the flow of prana—vital life energy—throughout the body. Conscious breathing techniques are used to cleanse the nadis (energetic channels), dissolve blockages, and balance the chakras. By aligning the breath with intention, breathwork not only promotes physical and emotional well-being but also awakens deeper states of awareness, connection, and spiritual growth.

Testimonials
Sarah D.
Sarah D. sharing about her experience with her breathwork session in San Marcos, Guatemala. Sarah was struggling with chronic shoulder pain and was not finding relief from massages, physical therapy or traditional modalities. In her breathwork session, she had a profound emotional release, and afterward, her shoulder pain was completely gone. Our physical and mental/emotional bodies are intricately connected, and oftentimes physical imbalances have a deeper psychological root.
Amanda
Amanda shares her reflections about her breathwork session in San Marcos, Guatemala.
“I felt the immense love from the oneness that made me remember that I Am. Every cell in my body was bursting with gratitude and I truly didn’t want the session to end. I felt the life force energy of my being fill my body and cleanse it of everything I’ve been holding on to. This sacred experience was nothing short of a blessing, and I truly can’t wait for my next session.”
~Danica Paulos, New York
“It helped me realize things that I have in my consciousness that do not serve me and how to align myself to no longer be attached to them, it also helped me to be more aware of the pure energy that regulates our entire sense of being facing it and feeling it in my body. It was an experience beyond words.”
~Nicholas Betbase, Argentina
“Wow! I can't believe how powerful this experience was. I never would have thought that through my breath I could experience an almost psychedelic state. It felt like I went on a shamanic journey into my self and it brought up things I didn't even know were there. I realized that I was holding onto so much! and even better it helped me let it go! I feel so light and peaceful now, and I am beyond thankful for Joseph for facilitating this work.”
~Charlotte Brown, North Carolina

My Training
I am deeply grateful to have studied Breathwork with Michael Brian Baker, the founder of The Breath Center. Beginning my training with Michael in 2017, I was introduced to what I’ve found to be the most transformative and effective form of Breathwork I’ve ever practiced.
This technique is both powerful and gentle, offering a unique balance of expansion and grace. Through my training with Michael, I became certified to share this practice with others, giving me the honor of supporting individuals on their personal journeys of healing and spiritual growth.
Since my certification, I’ve had the privilege of guiding hundreds of individuals through private sessions and public workshops. Witnessing the consistent and profound healing this practice offers has been nothing short of inspiring. It brings me immense joy to work one-on-one with people, helping them heal emotional wounds and reconnect with their true selves.
Each session deepens my own growth and understanding as a lifelong student of this miraculous art.
In addition to my Breathwork training, I’ve also spent several months in Rishikesh, India, studying at various yoga schools that specialize in Pranayama—ancient yogic breathing techniques that date back over 5,000 years. I’ve integrated these powerful practices into my sessions, enriching the Breathwork experience with the wisdom of these timeless traditions.
