Our Approach
Where science meets spirituality.
As industry leaders, we are dedicated to empowering individuals with a therapeutic wellness tool to experience profound and lasting change. Our approach to breathwork focuses on helping people understand the science, biology, and spirituality of how breathwork can transform our life.
Science
Breathing is automatic. It is controlled by the respiratory center of the brain. When we feel stressed, our breathing pattern shifts as part of our "fight-or-flight" response.
When we are in a stress response, we tend to take shallow breaths, using their shoulders rather than diaphragm to move air through their lungs. This type of breathing disrupts the balance of gasses in the body and worsens the physical symptoms of stress.
Fortunately, we have the power to deliberately change our breathing. Scientific studies show that the physiological benefits of breathwork include increased circulation and oxygen, which helps the nervous system move into a 'rest and digest' or parasympathetic state.
When we deepen and slow down the breath from its usual shallow pattern, we allow more oxygen to enter each cell, thus lowering adrenaline and cortisol levels.
When breath moves through the body, it alters our brain chemistry, which changes our brain function. When we change our brain function, we can change the way we show up and operate in life.
Spirituality
The transformative power of breath has been understood and widely practiced by Yogis and Shamans since ancient times.
For centuries, people have sought self-healing, spiritual awakening, and meditative relaxation through breathing techniques. Breathwork has roots in Eastern practices like Buddhism, Yoga, and Tai Chi.
Guided breathwork has an irrefutable way of tapping into the subconscious mind. As you learn to breathe more freely and reset your nervous system, you will be able to access deeper feelings and uncover your fears, traumas, and limitations.
During your breathwork practice, you’ll take in a surplus of oxygen which lowers the levels of CO2 in the brain. This allows you to enter a self-induced non-routine state of consciousness where memories and emotions can surface. These experiences can then be reframed or released.
The ultimate goal is to show up in the world with greater peace, purpose, and self-compassion. When we tap into the truth of our inner self, it resonates with the outerworld. When we take responsibility for our own wellbeing, we heal the collective.
Breathwork sessions can take place in-person or from the comfort of your own home via online video chat with your facilitator.
Breathwork: Somatic Healing
When we use the word “somatic,” we’re referring to something related to the body.
Somatic healing involves working with the body to support a deep level of self-awareness and improve emotional regulation. Breathwork is a somatic practice that has long been considered one of the most powerful healing modalities.
When we’re able to introduce a somatic healing experience to our daily practice, we are capable of shifting on a cellular level. After all, we don’t think our way to healthier physiological responses—we do it by feeling.
The benefits of breathwork practice can offer profound and dramatic healing.
Breathwork can cause physiological changes that include:
Lower heart rate and blood pressure
Reduced levels of stress hormones in the blood
Improved immune system functioning
Reduced lactic acid build-up in muscle tissue
Increased physical energy
Balanced levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood
Improved circadian rhythm
Increased feelings of calm and wellbeing
Breathwork offers emotional benefits that include:
Process or heal emotional pain or trauma
Understand relationship patterns & subconscious stories
Heal attachment wounding
Boost feelings of joy, safety, empowerment, and peace
Create clarity, awareness, and presence
Access higher states of consciousness
Support spiritual healing and awakening
Encounter mystical experiences
Fascial Energetic Release & Channeling
Our bodies are like instruments, and over time, tension and stress can build up in the fascia—the connective tissue that holds everything together.
This can cause our bodies to be out of tune and not moving the way they are meant to. Through Fascial Energetic Release, we help you come back into your body’s natural harmony, releasing deep-seeded tension that is often stored in your system. This unique healing modality combines gentle physical work with energetic alignment, guiding your body to a place of balance and relief.
During these sessions, Vince intuitively works with your fascia and spine allowing you to release not only physical tightness but also emotional blockages. As your body unwinds, you'll experience a profound sense of relaxation, mental clarity, and emotional freedom. Each session is deeply personalized, offering a safe space for healing and restoration.
Whether you're seeking to ease stress, improve your physical well-being, or release stored emotions, Fascial Energetic Release can support you on your journey to greater alignment and well-being.
Fascial Energetic Release sessions can take place in-person or from the comfort of your own home via online video chat with your facilitator.
Medicine Work
At Journey Into Breath, Medicine Work is a profound, sacred practice that allows individuals to explore their inner landscapes with the guidance of an experienced facilitator.
A guided medicine journey involves entering a meditative state, often supported by curated music and deep intention, to connect with the spiritual or mystical realms. These journeys provide an opportunity for transformation, clarity, and healing, gently moving past limiting beliefs and emotional patterns.
Through a carefully curated experience, clients are invited to explore deeper layers of their being, gaining insights that support emotional and physical shifts. These transformative journeys are personalized to each individual, honouring their unique needs and experiences. We take great care to prepare clients for this sacred exploration, beginning with 2-3 breathwork sessions to establish a strong foundation of trust and body awareness.
Our medicine journeys offer a pathway to unlock new levels of clarity, wisdom, and harmony, helping to ground spiritual energies into everyday life. From preparation to integration, we are with our clients every step of the way.
