The breath is your biggest healing superpower. It is with you every moment of your life.
Every time we experience traumas, they imprint on our muscles and our nervous system. Our life experiences can limit the flow of energy that we have access to. We try and forget about these experiences and emotions by pushing them underground and disassociating from them. This might work for a while, but eventually our bodies show disorders, discomfort and dis-ease. No matter how much we want to ignore these nodes of trauma, they are there, doing a number on our well-being.
Breathwork motivates this trapped energy to move out of you. Together, I will guide you in using your breath as a vehicle for working through and releasing stuck emotions that are blocking you from reaching your full expression of self. Pushing up against these emotions with the breath can be challenging, and that is why it is important engage in this work in a safe space with an experienced guide. In Breathwork Sessions, you will be using your breath to move energy.
Reiki is universal energy, and as a Reiki practitioner I will be a channel for you to access this energy, helping restore health and wellness. Through gentle hands-on touch, I am able to assist you in balancing disharmony, regenerating your system and helping to get to the root of blockages that are keeping you from feeling your best. In Reiki Sessions, you will have the opportunity to access and integrate this universal energy.
If you are ready to regulate your emotions, become less reactive, reset your system (mind, body and soul), oh, and finally learn to RELAX, then breathwork and reiki are for you.
Private Sessions:
An ideal offering for anyone wanting to go deep and have a total mind/heart reset in a safe, intimate setting. Each session is tailored just for you, and can be focused on breathwork, reiki or a combination of the two. I will ask a few questions to create an experience that will allow you to go inside and release tension, emotions, anxiety and stress.
The goal is to free up space for you to feel lighter, more creative, balanced and emotionally regulated. These sessions are the ultimate support for refocusing and resetting your whole system.
TESTIMONIALS
“Over the last 7 years, Jojie has been an amazing teacher for me through her breathwork and yoga practice. She brings devotion, commitment, and unconditional love to all her students and I am forever grateful. When I attended my first breath workshop, I had just been through treatment for stage 4 cancer and wanted to live life with ease, (and whenever the time comes, transition with ease). Over the years Jojie has slowly opened the door to my heart, the heart that carries my history, and that had an impenetrable wall around it, a wall without a door to let love walk in. When I go to Jojie’s classes I feel there is a thread that connects us all and we were made to connect with each other. I am also reminded to stay awake to all the moments of life, even the darkest moments, and to trust that our light always gets us through the darkness.
Also, hands down, Jojie has the best sense of humor of any teacher.”
“I was introduced to breathwork by Josephine and I just fell in love with it immediatly! Josephine is a great teacher and healer I believe. She made me feel so comfortable from the first moment and I just love her classes. I also like that she offers breathwork online so I can participate even if I don’t live in Seattle (or in the USA). I have tried a lot of different things to help me move forward after some really traumatic events in my life, and I really feel that the breathwork classes with Josephine has helped me a lot. If you have a lot of stuff going on in your brain/body and in your life, it’s a great way to move through it without getting stucked in it. I have found it really good for the difficult things in life, the things you don’t want to face or are scared of. For me it has been a blessing and a practice that I now use regulary. I got hooked! ”
“When Josephine opened up the secret studio to have small classes for restorative and kundalini yoga, I was eager to experience more of her offerings after only attending breathwork classes (in person prior to the pandemic and on Zoom during the last 3 years). Her compassionate, kind, relatable, and hilarious nature is very welcoming! I often brag about how the first restorative class I went to we only did 2 postures for the entire class. Best yoga class I’ve ever been to to this day.
Thank you, Jojie, for offering such a safe space to heal, relax, stretch, learn, laugh, cry, grow, evolve, and well... get weird. I’m so grateful for every class I get to experience with you. ”
“I feel cared for and nurtured in Monday’s restorative class. It’s so relaxing and Josephine has the magic, calming touch. I always sleep so well after this class, it’s pure bliss! ”
“Jo has a magical blend of knowledge, skill and kindness to create an environment for self-discovery and internal connection. I leave sessions with a deeper understanding of myself and gratitude for the experience.”
“I am full of gratitude as I reflect on my life-changing sessions with Josephine. Her gentleness, kindness, understanding and ability to hold space for my processing is an incredible gift. My experience with breathwork moves energy out of my body and I am overcome with calmness. Reiki has been an opportunity to gain insights from my life events and transitions, such as my father’s death and my children leaving home. My sessions with Josephine bring me peace as she shares her insights and are an invaluable practice of self care. ”
“Come and be held in this space of peace and release.... as Jo guides you to restore your body and soul.”
“I’ve been working with Jo for 3+ years now. I could not speak more highly of our work together and consider it one of the most prominent reasons I’ve have been able to continually grow in my personal and professional life. I continue to work with Jo every 1/2 weeks and prioritize our work together no matter what else is going on! Jo is the best!”
“Jo is such a special human and if you have the chance to take one of her classes, please do and consider yourself fortunate. Her classes are a soft place to land and always sprinkled with humor. Her presence is disarming and I just love her silly nature. You will leave feeling like a changed human. A frown definitely turned upside down. Jo cares deeply about what she does and the community that surrounds her, which you can feel so strongly. I literally have travelled miles as in across the country to take one of her yoga or breathwork classes. Please do treat yourself to one or all of her offerings because it is rare to find such a shiny gem like Josephine that is just so darn good at what she does! ”
“Josephine provides a truly safe and loving space, which has been an incredible vehicle for my own reflection, rest, and growth. She is highly skilled, and yet I find myself most inspired by her genuine, playful, and open-hearted stance toward each person in the room. I leave her classes feeling grounded, cared for, and very grateful, and I often find myself reflecting on the sentiments she has shared in classes all week long.”
““I have had several sessions with Josephine. Each time she is able to hold a deeply nourishing space and guide me gently and confidently through the experience. She is a true healer: present, compassionate, graceful and wise. Her work is deeply transformative, individualized and heart-centered, and it allows me to continuously evolve every time we connect.””
““I left our session feeling at once grounded and light as air. Our work together clearly opened up meridians within my body and mind that had been constricted for sometime, and the energetic and mental effects lasted longer than I had anticipated. I never would have believed that harnessing one’s breath like that could be so profound! The new awareness I have of my body and how much energy I give and receive is at the forefront of my mind and daily practice. Thank you!””
““Doing breathwork with Jo was even more powerful than I imagined. I left feeling deeply relaxed and more connected to myself than I’d been in a long time. I will definitely be going back!””
““What sticks with me most from our session together was my experience of witnessing a part of myself that had been missing rejoining my body.””
