Breathwork
A practice of presence, regulation, and embodied awareness
Breathwork is a practice of conscious, intentional breathing that supports the nervous system, opens the body, and invites awareness into direct contact with experience.
While strong sensations or emotional release can arise, the deeper intention of this work is not catharsis for its own sake — but learning how to remain present, open, and grounded with whatever is here.
Through the breath, we cultivate the capacity to meet life as it is.
What This Work Is Really About
This form of breathwork is not about forcing release, fixing yourself, or chasing peak experiences.
It is about:
• Relaxing into a stable, open inner space
• Increasing your capacity to be with sensations, emotions, and states of mind
• Allowing blocked or conditioned patterns to soften naturally
• Reconnecting with a sense of inner well-being that is already present
When awareness is allowed to “ride the waves” of feeling rather than resist them, the organism begins to regulate itself. What clears does so organically — not because it is pushed out, but because it is met with awareness.
Whatever blocks the natural flow of life-force is also what blocks love. As presence deepens, love becomes available — and ultimately love is what heals.
How Breathwork Works (Physiologically & Somatically)
Breathwork works directly with the autonomic nervous system, helping shift the body out of chronic stress patterns and into a state of greater regulation and coherence.
Through this conscious breathing practice:
• The breath influences the vagus nerve and parasympathetic response
• Oxygen and carbon dioxide balance shifts, affecting emotional and mental states
• Stored muscular tension may release
• Sensations and emotions can surface safely into awareness
This is not something the mind “does” — it is something the body remembers how to do when given the right conditions.
Energetic & Awareness-Based Perspective
From yogic and contemplative traditions, the breath is understood as a bridge between body, mind, and subtle energy.
Known in yoga as pranayama, conscious breathing supports the flow of prana (life-force) through the system. When attention and breath are aligned:
• Energetic congestion can soften
• Awareness becomes more embodied
• The heart naturally opens to experience
Rather than manipulating energy, the emphasis here is on allowing awareness to inhabit the body fully.
Somatic Breathwork
The primary method used in sessions is somatic breathwork, which may include a gentle three-part breathing pattern.
This approach supports:
• Nervous system regulation
• Embodied emotional processing
• Increased presence and sensitivity
• A sense of grounded openness
While emotional or energetic release can occur, it is not required for the work to be effective. The real shift comes from learning how to stay present and open — even when sensations intensify.
What Happens During A Session
Each 75-minute session is held as a supportive, non-directive container.
10 minutes — Arrival & Intention
We begin by grounding, checking in, and setting a simple intention for the session.
30 minutes — Guided Breathwork Practice
You’ll be guided through the breath in a way that supports regulation, presence, and embodied awareness.
15 minutes — Rest & Integration
Time for the body and nervous system to settle and integrate without effort.
20 minutes — Reflection & Integration Support
Space to reflect, ask questions, and explore how insights may meet your daily life.
Sessions are individualized and held with care, clarity, and respect for your nervous system and pace.
Potential Benefits
People often report:
• Reduced stress and anxiety
• Greater emotional regulation & well-being
• Increased clarity and groundedness
• A deeper connection to the body
• Improved mood and nervous system resilience
• A growing capacity to be present with life as it unfolds
Rather than promising transformation, this work supports the conditions in which transformation can naturally occur.
Preparing For A Session
To support comfort and presence during the session, a few simple preparations are recommended.
• A quiet, comfortable space where you can lie down undisturbed
• A blanket or pillow (optional) for warmth and physical support
• Headphones or clear audio, so guidance can be heard easily
• An empty or light stomach — avoid eating for 2–3 hours beforehand
• Water nearby for hydration afterward
If you have any questions, sensitivities, or specific needs, you’re welcome to share them beforehand so the session can be held appropriately.
Safety & Contraindications
Breathwork is a powerful practice and may not be appropriate for everyone.
Please consult before booking if you have:
• A history of seizures or epilepsy
• Severe cardiovascular conditions
• Pregnancy
• Severe untreated mental health conditions
Sessions are always adjusted to prioritize safety and regulation.
Facilitation & Training
My approach to breathwork has been shaped through years of personal practice, formal training, and hands-on facilitation.
I began formal training in somatic breathwork in 2017 under Michael Brian Baker, founder of The Breath Center, where I was trained and certified to facilitate this method with others. Since then, I’ve guided hundreds of individuals through private sessions and group workshops.
Alongside breathwork facilitation, I have completed a 500-hour yoga teacher training and spent extended time studying pranayama and contemplative practices in Rishikesh, India. More recently, my understanding of breath, embodiment, and altered states has continued to deepen through experiential study in Peru.
Across all of this work, the emphasis has remained the same: nervous system safety, grounded presence, and supporting awareness to meet experience directly — without force, performance, or unnecessary intensity.
Testimonials
Sarah
In this video testimonial, Sarah shares 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
In this video testimonial, Amanda shares her reflections about her breathwork experience in San Marcos, Guatemala, sharing that she felt an abundance of energy and well-being after the session.
“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
