inner travel agentholding presence through hell, ecstasy, and beyond
Holding presence through hell, ecstasy, and beyond. What does that mean?
It means that I’ve got you. It means that you’re held, no matter what.
Held by what? By a solid, grounded pillar of presence around which you may orbit and circle, maybe even untether for a bit….
Why do you, or presence, need to be held? Because these modalities I am passionate about — conscious connected breathwork, the Breath of Five, and 5 I AM — are entry points into spaces that are sometimes wild, sometimes frightful, sometimes beyond your imagination, and certainly towards liberation.
My offering is a custommade, personalised process through the human condition.
Sound exciting? Sound daunting? Sound familiar? Sound sublime? Sound foreign?
I make no promise other than that I commit to reflecting back to you what you’re showing me or how you’re showing up.
Even though this is the “about me” section of a website, the thing is, this work isn’t about me. This is for you.

breathwork
Our quality of breathing is a reflection of our state of mind in any given moment.
Our breathing patterns also reflect how we hold life, how we respond to the imprints of our life experiences.
Group sessions are held in the way of circle and help co-create a safe container that guides you to a collective flow.
