BREATHWORK 

Every human experiences trauma at some point in their life. These can be often categorised as with ‘big traumas’ like sexual abuse, war, deaths or ‘little traumas’ such as breakups, stress at work, financial trouble. The list goes on for both of these and all trauma ‘big’ or ‘small'

 has an impact o our bodies and subconscious minds. Over time, these impacts can compound and become further internalised, manifesting as physical or emotional symptoms. 

Conscious breathing and breathwork can help process and release the experiences of trauma. Just as breathwork has many positive effects on alleviating anxiety and managing stress, trauma for breathwork can help heal, release, and restore aspects of ourselves that are impacted by traumatic events.

What is Breathwork?

There are many forms of ‘breathwork’ that are available to you, however this style of breathwork is conscious and intentional breathing that releases trauma stored in the body. You breath in and out of the mouth for a prolonged period of time and are facilitated by a qualified practitioner in a safe and private environment. Intentional trauma breathwork helps with trauma processing and healing by bypassing the conscious mind, deactivating the sympathetic nervous system, and having a restorative effect on its practitioners. 

Breathwork is a therapeutic technique that brings the breather into an altered state of consciousness. It works by creating a safe space for deep relaxation, where one can feel uninhibited and free to express any emotions or physical movements that come up during a session. Ultimately, breathing techniques for trauma are designed to facilitate self-healing through connection to breath — permitting whatever comes up to be expressed, processed, and released. 

Breathwork and trauma release are deeply connected. By creating a space for expression and processing, trauma for breathwork invokes a deep relaxation and a trance-like state, allowing for suppressed thoughts and stored emotions from trauma to more easily move towards the surface and be released. 

Breathwork promotes emotional release and integration, processing stored memories within the subconscious. Breathwork also counters the physical effects of trauma, deactivating the flight-or-fight response which is switched on when undergoing a traumatic even and moving you into ‘rest and digest’ which is important for a healthy mind, body and soul.

Hear what others have to say about their experience:

“I had a breathe-work treatment with Mandy from Awaken Wellness yesterday.

AMEN!

The experience over all was genuinely amazing. Simple & easy to follow, after the breathing exercises and attunents (very gentle and really relaxing) I could feel my body and breathe really sinking into its own natural vortexed rhythm and I was deep in it.

Allowing my body and my breathe to trust itself to work together (through gentle guidance) I started having amazing psychic visions which ultimately led me to my intention of the treatment which was “CLARITY”. My guides started talking to me with so much clarity (more the usual) it was like a reel of a movie I was watching yet it was my life!

I’ll never forget the words or visions I saw & how amped I was afterwards, Mandy said I was literally glowing and I felt like I could run a marathon energy wise yet having my body/mind totally calm and relaxed.

I’m very blessed to have been guided through Mandy, into a space I clearly really needed/wanted to go too, I’ll be returning very soon for another dose. So grateful for you. “

A Massive Yes From Me!!! I have been visiting Mandy for the last 6 months. I wanted to explore what Breathwork could do for me. I always meditated and believed this could take it to the next level. Well I was not wrong. I started with some private classes and then moved into small group classes and have been to a 1 day retreat. Loved it all & I was pleasantly surprised how deep I could go using this breath work method in a safe environment This kind of Breathwork was better than I expected. It makes me feel so good, not just immediately but the next day I have such a great spring in my step Feel So alive. lots of energy and amazing sense of wellbeing I feel awesome and people notice. I even got asked what my secret was because I looked heaps younger. I have found with each time I breathe with Mandy the experience is more overwhelming, in a good way than the last. If your looking for a healthy natural way to get rid of your stress shift negative energy find peace in yourself and feed your soul I promise you wont be disappointed. Warning It's addictive !! Do your self a favour try it I am so glad I did "

"My first breath work experience with Mandy I wasn’t 100% what to expect, but I was open to seeing what was going to unfold. Mandy made me so comfortable, explained the process, and ensured my expectations weren’t unrealistic. It took me a couple of sessions to really get into the benefits, and wow have I really opened my heart and mind. I am calmer, my mind doesn’t race, and when I am not in a session with Mandy I have the skills to keep myself grounded. Thank you Mandy, I am a better person for meeting and working with you "
