Heart-to-heart reflections
“I went into my session a little nervous, but knowing I needed something to change... I left feeling more grounded than I had in a long time. Lynn has a calm, steady presence and makes you feel comfortable right away.”
“There is always so much love and authenticity given. It’s like a warm hug. I also get the best sleep... it’s like a reset for my body”
“I genuinely from the bottom of my heart cannot say enough about Lynn. She is my safe space... she has helped guide me through some of the most difficult times of my life with grace, love, compassion, and trust.”
Does This sound Familiar?
You go quiet in a room full of people who love you.Life just shifted (the kids moved out, the marriage changed, a big birthday arrived), and you're quietly wondering who you are underneath it all.You're exhausted from people pleasing, and every boundary you set comes with a side of guilt.You feel everything, the mood shift, the stress no one's said out loud yet, and somehow you're the one carrying it home.You've been called "too sensitive" or "too much" enough times that some part of you started to believe it.You've tried therapy, meditation, every book on the shelf, and you're still waiting for the thing that actually sticks.
You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. I’m so honored to walk this path beside you.Lynn
Is Breathwork Right for Me?
What is Somatic Breathwork and How Does it Help Me?
Somatic breathwork is a way to listen to the stories your body is holding, without having to find the words first. Unlike talk therapy, we don't need to rehash the past to heal it.
Your breath becomes the guide. It takes us beneath the thinking mind so your nervous system can release old tension and stress. Whether you're stuck in overwhelm or stuck in shutdown, this is a gentle way back to feeling rooted in your own body again.
What if the experience feels like too much?
It's so natural to want to feel safe when you're looking inward. In our sessions, you're always the one holding the dial. Turn it up when you feel ready, or turn it back down whenever you need to find your center again.
There's never any pressure to push through a feeling that doesn't feel right. We go at exactly the pace your heart is ready for, and I stay right here as a steady presence to come back to.
Is breathwork safe for everyone? When should I check with my doctor?
Your safety and comfort are at the heart of my practice. Breathwork is a powerful, transformative tool, and for most, it is a safe and deeply healing experience when guided by a trained facilitator. However, I believe in a holistic and authentic approach, which includes listening to your body's unique wisdom.
For your well-being, I encourage you to consult with a doctor before beginning a new breathwork practice, especially if you have any of the following health conditions.
- Heart and Blood Pressure Conditions: including high blood pressure (not managed by medication), a history of stroke, aneurysm, or cardiovascular disease.
- Respiratory Issues: including severe asthma or a history of a collapsed lung.
- Pregnancy: especially in the first trimester.
- Recent Injuries or Surgeries: particularly those involving the head, abdomen, or ribs.
- Severe Psychiatric Conditions: including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or a history of recent hospitalization for a mental health crisis.
- Epilepsy or a History of Seizures: Certain breathing patterns may affect the nervous system.
- Glaucoma or Detached Retina: Breathwork can increase pressure in the head.
Please remember to always listen to your body and honor its needs. I offer a safe and supportive space for you to explore your inner world, and your journey is always your own. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to me. Your well-being is what matters most.
How can I start my healing journey?
There's no one right way in, so start where you're actually drawn to, not where you think you "should."
- BLOOM Community if you want ongoing support, weekly live sessions, and a community of women who get what it's like to be wired this way
- BLOOM Inner Circle if you want that same community plus a monthly private session with me, dedicated space that's just yours
- 1:1 Online Sessions if you want focused, personal work at your own pace
- In-home immersive sessions if you want the deepest reset, without leaving your own space. (Book a Complimentary call to learn more)
If you're not sure which one fits, that's okay too. Book a complimentary Curiosity Call, it's a no-pressure conversation to find the pathway that actually supports where you are right now.
How do I prepare for a session?
Tips for Your Best Experience:
- Create a Comfortable Space: Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed. You may be asked to lie down during the session. Use cushions, a bed, a yoga mat, or a comfortable sofa to support you during the session. Put your phone in do-not-disturb mode.
- Wear Comfortable Clothing: Dress in loose, comfortable clothes to allow for unrestricted breathing.
- Have Props Ready: Keep a blanket nearby in case you feel cold during the session. Have tissues or a water bottle within reach. Feel free to use crystals or anything else that helps you to feel safe and comfortable.
- Journal Afterward: Keep a journal nearby to jot down any insights or emotions that arise after the session.
- Breath with me on YouTube: Each week I post a short gentle practice. These practices are a great way to prepare for your session. Breathe with me on YouTube
- Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself throughout the process, acknowledging that each breathwork session is unique.
What if my mind won't stop racing during breathwork?
You don't have to stop it. The practice is designed to work through the body, not the analytical mind. We welcome the thoughts without judgment and gently guide your focus back to your breath and the sensations in your body.
Is Somatic Breathwork a substitute for therapy?
No. I see this work as a beautiful partner to therapy. Therapy helps your mind make sense of things, and breathwork helps your body release what your mind has been carrying.
When will I start to feel a shift?
Healing happens in its own beautiful time. Many women I work with feel a sense of relief and a quieter heart after our very first session together.
Do you offer sessions online or in person?
Both. 1:1 sessions and the BLOOM Community are online, so you can join from anywhere. BLOOM meets live every Tuesday at 5:30pm Pacific, with replays if you can't make it.
For the deepest reset, I also come to you. In-home sessions are available within 15 miles of Scripps Ranch in San Diego, and travel fees may apply beyond that.
