How Did Breath Therapy Start?
Let me preface this story by saying… I am blown away that this is the 10th season of class. My attention span runs on the short side, and I have never been excited about any content for this length of time before.❤️
Ok! Let’s start at the beginning...
Fifteen years ago, I was a training machine… running marathons and doing triathlons. The classes I taught were high intensity boot camps and spin classes that made you want to barf a lung by the end.
Harder, faster and more was better… until it wasn’t!
It all came to a sudden stop with a bad hip injury. My right hip had been plaguing me for a few years, but I would rehab it and then just keep pushing hard… until one evening I played a fun game of curling with some friends and could not walk the next day.
I spent most of the next six months laying on a mat in the middle of my living room floor. Of course, I went through the normal stages of loss… why me, poor me, how can I fix this, what did I do to deserve this… you know, ALL OF THE THINGS!
At the one month mark, I could not stand my own whining anymore and decided that my butt was being parked on the floor for a reason and I had better discover what that reason was! I began to read self-help books… Louise Hay, Bruce Lipton, Wayne Dyer, Joe Dispenza, Carolyn Myss, Jack Canfield, Abraham Hick, Donna Eden and many more.
I have been able to see people’s energy fields since I was a little kid, so I was aware that people’s thoughts changed what their energy looked like… but I did not fully understand that our thoughts create our physical bodies. All of these wonderful books and authors helped me put the pieces of the puzzle together, and their collective wisdom changed my beliefs and my life!
I began to meditate, observe my breath and my thoughts, contemplate that my running days were over (literally and figuratively), and practice my intuition… and I began to HEAL!
I was working in a physio clinic at the time, and I began to watch how breath moved through my clients’ bodies as well. I discovered that if I got them to breathe through their painful areas... they too, began healing quickly.
By September 2013. I decided that I should teach all this wonderful stuff in a class. I approached the continuing education department at The College of New Caledonia and started teaching a week later!
I was nervous! I remember only being able to hold people in a particular breath pattern for 3 or 4 breaths maximum. As soon as I felt their energy bounce around as they lost focus… I would panic and quickly change the breath pattern.
Over time, I learned to ignore my students’ loss of focus and stayed steady within myself... this always brought my students back to their calm center. This was such a beautiful lesson for me to learn the incredible importance of holding a stable frequency. This is now my superpower!!
Breath Therapy has evolved in leaps and bounds over the past ten years… Liesl taught me the magic of essential oils, Micah taught me how to incorporate acupressure, Debbi taught me the importance of following the natural cycles of the moon, a diagnosis of hashimoto’s taught me to incorporate gut health and a course with Donna Eden helped me add more energy medicine into the mix.
I have made some of the best friends of my whole life teaching this class. I have learned so much about myself and I have been absolutely blown away by our body’s... both mine and my students’... ability to heal itself!
I have witnessed miracles! ❤️
