Breathwork & Emotional Healing Therapy

Do you feel stuck in life? Or feel that life happens to you rather than being able to create a life you have imagined?

Do you struggle in your relationships? Feel constantly triggered, overwhelmed or irritable? 

These are often signs of emotional suppression. Emotions and trauma don’t just disappear—they leave their mark on the body, showing up as muscle tension, pain, or poor posture. Our bodies have an incredible way of holding onto memories and emotions, long after our minds forget. Your breath holds the key to transform limiting behaviours and beliefs into conscious new patterns.  

Everyone’s breath holds the blueprint of their lived experiences, containing all our thoughts, pains, memories, feelings and emotional energies.

“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we will ever do.”

Breathwork therapist and emotional healing specialist — Alisa Craig, helps guide women to heal their emotional wounds, reclaim their true selves and  feel  better.  

With warmth and compassion, Alisa's unique approach uses the power of the conscious, connected breathwork technique (CCB), alongside emotional regulation techniques and tools. This blend allows women to process and let go of deeply held emotional stress and trauma, create more capacity in their nervous systems and ultimately feel regulated and safe in their bodies. 

What is Breathwork?

We all breathe, yet how we breathe is vastly different. Everyone has a different breathing pattern that reflects the experiences they have lived through. The unconsciously altered breath allows you to survive, but it does not allow you to thrive. The main task of breathwork is to help people re-discover who they are underneath all the conditioning and learned behaviours. 

Many practices use the term ‘Breathwork’, including yoga breathing (pranayama), box breathing, coherence breathing and more. Breathwork is an umbrella term used to describe practices that include conscious, connected breathing techniques. Ultimately breathwork means working with the breath. 

Therapeutic Breathwork is a conscious, connected body/breath technique that allows a number of internal experiences to occur. Thoughts, feelings, pains, memories and energies that have been held down by the breath are able to surface to be cleared or resolved. The process is freeing of limitations from previous decisions, beliefs or conditions.    

“Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. ”
— Thich Nhat Hanh

How does Breathwork, “work”? 

Breathwork is a gentle rhythmic and continuous breathing technique that taps directly into the body’s innate healing intelligence.  

Breathing in a full, flowing cycle has a powerful impact on both the body and mind. Because the connected breath leads us into a non-ordinary state of consciousness where our awareness expands, old patterns and suppressed emotions surface. This allows them to be processed safely, creating space for inner clarity, relaxation, and ultimately increasing energy and joy back into your life. 

From a physiological view the breath balances the autonomic nervous system, increases Heart Rate Variability (HRV), oxygenates the blood and shifts brain activity to more alpha waves, promoting calm and focus. It also boosts activity in key brain areas like the prefrontal cortex and hypothalamus, which regulate decision-making and emotions. 

Each breathwork session follows a similar structure.  

  • Connect and talk about where and what you are experiencing in life right now  

  • Breathing exercise or embodied process to tune into the body and create safety  

  • Set an intention for how you would prefer to feel in life 

  • Breathwork session where you breathe for up to an hour using a particular breathing technique, here we focus on the breath, let go of the mind and connect to the body’s infinite wisdom (don’t worry, Alisa will guide you each step of the way). 

  • De-briefing your experience and discuss any insights and understandings that may have come to light for you. This often includes practical strategies to try at home.

  • All new clients will need an initial session.

    This comprehensive breathwork session uses the conscious connected breath technique, done lying down in a safe and supportive space. The session begins with an in-depth discussion to explore your life experiences and background, allowing us to understand what’s most present for you. It also will feature a breathing practice for up to an hour, to ensure we create the right environment for emotional release, healing, and self-discovery. This session is especially powerful for clearing deep emotional blockages and fostering self-mastery. Throughout, we focus on safety and work at a pace that your body and breath naturally guide. The breath does the work, allowing you to release stored emotions and reconnect with a deeper sense of balance and clarity. 

    Cost $320

  • This follow-up breathwork session continues using the conscious connected breath technique, done lying down. It includes a brief discussion to touch base on any shifts or updates since the initial session and set new intentions. This session still features the breathing practice for an hour and is paced according to what your body and breath need, ensuring a safe and effective process that allows for deeper emotional clearing and ongoing personal growth. 

    Cost $280

  • This breathwork session is designed to help couples come together and deepen their connection through the conscious connected breath technique. Done lying down in a safe, supportive environment, the session begins with a discussion about any challenges, emotions, or patterns you’d like to address as a couple. By using the breath as a tool for emotional release, both partners can safely process unresolved issues, clear emotional blockages, and cultivate a deeper sense of understanding and harmony. This session supports mutual healing and growth, allowing you to strengthen your bond and move forward with clarity and renewed connection. The pace of the session is guided by both individuals, creating space for healing and resolution at a comfortable rhythm for everyone involved. 

    Cost $380

  • Using a seated breathwork technique, this session allows you to engage in the practice from the comfort of your own space. Unlike the lying-down style, this technique involves a more relaxed breathing pattern that’s particularly effective for addressing specific issues or triggers. Whether you're dealing with something like recurring stress, emotional triggers, or a particular challenge in your life (e.g., difficulty in relationships, or a work issue), this session helps you focus directly on those areas. It’s an excellent option for addressing immediate concerns.  

    Cost $180

  • To provide ongoing support between your regular breathwork sessions, this session is perfect for clients who want to maintain momentum, discuss any insights or challenges that have arisen, or receive guidance on how to integrate the work done in previous sessions into daily life.

It’s designed to keep you connected and supported as you move through your personal healing journey, ensuring you feel empowered between your deeper breathwork sessions.

 FAQs

  • Not at all! Breathwork is accessible to everyone, whether you’re completely new to the practice or have prior experience. There’s no right or wrong way to do it—your breath will naturally guide the process.   

    During a session, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance, making it easy to follow along. Your body already knows how to breathe; this practice simply helps you use your breath in a more intentional way. 

  • Breathwork is generally safe and beneficial for most people, however, it is not recommended for individuals with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or severe psychiatric conditions.  

    Alisa has worked with a wide range of people including pregnant women, those who suffer severe panic attacks to people with a formal diagnosis, including depression and anxiety.

  • That’s completely okay—we live in a very mind-based culture and many people feel disconnected from their bodies, especially if they’ve experienced stress or trauma. The beauty of breathwork is that the breath does the work for you. You don’t have to figure it out mentally or know exactly what to feel. By simply following the breath, your body naturally begins to release tension and process stored emotions, gently guiding you back into connection at your own pace.

  • 1. Those struggling with anxiety, stress, or depression.  

    2. People who have experienced past trauma or grief  

    3. Individuals feeling stuck, disconnected, or lost  

    4. Anyone dealing with chronic pain or tension 

    5. Those seeking personal growth and deeper self-awareness
