THIS IS BREATHWORK

Take a breath. Sit back.

Why did you come here?

Can you name the reason—or is it more of a feeling? A subtle pull that the way you have been working, leading, relating or living is changing alongside the person you are becoming.

THIS IS BREATHWORK is for people at thresholds.

We are living through an extraordinary compression of modern life—more information, more complexity, more decisions, and less space between stimulus and response.

Our reality is expanding rapidly. Our capacity to meet it must expand with it. As the demands on our attention, nervous systems and cognitive health increase, tending to the brain and body becomes foundational to how we lead, relate and make decisions.

We are being asked to bring deeper alignment to the choices we make, the words we speak, the relationships we build and the systems we participate in.

Some part of you may be ready for a valence jump—a leap into a new phase of life.

This work develops the capacity to sense more clearly, relate more consciously, repattern what has been inherited, and create from a more coherent internal foundation.

YOU MAY RECOGNIZE YOURSELF HERE

LEADERS + FOUNDERS
CEOs, executives and entrepreneurs navigating responsibility, growth and meaningful transition.

PRACTITIONERS + CHANGEMAKERS
Healers, educators, facilitators and community builders guiding others while deepening their own capacity.

CREATIVES + CULTURAL MAKERS
Artists, chefs, designers and experience makers shaping how we see, gather, create and connect.

You may understand your patterns intellectually and feel ready to experience change through the body, relationship and daily practice.

You may be reconsidering how you use power, define success, participate in relationship or contribute your work.

Or you may simply know:

A new phase of life is asking something different of you.

Field Chef: 31 years working in hospitality as a restauranteur, concept designer and FOH consultant ~ specializing in food security, local systems, remote and high volume hospitality. Toronto, BC, Newfoundland, Oaxaca, Sayulita MX.

I studied Indigenous (TEK) or ‘Traditional Ecological Knowledge’ at University of Toronto ~ while a western concept, it helped open the door to a deeper understanding of medicine wheel teachings and Indigenous worldview.

I have been a nomade in Canada, US, Mexico most of my adult life, and as such have had trainings in various Dream Councils, Wisdom Keeper Teachings, Sweatlodge, Women’s Circles, Potlatches, Fasting Ceremonies Cocoa, Plant Medicine Ceremonies actively since 1997.

While I hold the belief that we are all indigenous to the earth and have inherent knowledge available to relate to, I have learned & studied for over 3 decades with elders, ceremonial leaders, and dear friends from the Anishinabek (Manitoulin Island), Nuu-chah-nulth (Vancouver Island), Potawatomi, Haudenosaunee Confederacy, as well as Oaxacan-Mayan, Maouri and Guatemalan-Mayan traditions. to be able to pass on certain tenants in my work.

These teachings, combined with a life lived closely with the land, have shaped my understanding of relational integrity, ancestral reverence, and the slow, respectful pace required to be in right relationship with all beings—seen and unseen.

I had been a professional nomade, working across Canada, USA and Mexico in food security, tourism hospitality and event production.

Most of my life had been lived split between my emotional-spiritual experience and mental-physical one. This caused many cycles of burnout, depression and finally 2 concussions. The values I upheld in one sphere, wanted space and articulation in all spheres of experience.

Now, as a Neuro-Spiritual Strategist, I work at the intersection of ancient and modern technology—where ritual meets neurofeedback, where kundalini technology, food strategies and meditation invite the micro-habits required to shift physiology and spiritual paradigms with compassion and ease. Gathering is a way of being.

Breath, Food & Tobacco have been my first medicines for my own journey — the bridge to remembering who we are and experiencing the radical wellbeing that is our birthright.

I created THIS IS BREATHWORK, in 2021 in response to the rising need for new ways to navigate fear, emotional overwhelm, spiritual hunger, and the illusion of hyper-independence.

I am an animist—a guide who works across multiple layers of consciousness, both Human and Other-Than-Human. My offerings meet people at the edge of their current awareness and support the leap into new personal and systemic paradigms.

As a Certified Breathwork Practitioner, Reiki Master, Trauma-Informed Ritualist and Field Chef, I support women, leaders, mothers, artists, healers, and warriors in transforming their lives.
With over 25 years of experience in food security, event production cooking and hospitality concept design, I’ve developed a deep tenor for inclusive systems—and a profound understanding of how diverse, yet interconnected, our lives are.

I specialize in new beginnings, ancestral healing, and advanced relational intelligence—helping people move from isolation into integrated ecosystems of support.

My work trains physical intuition, emotional freedom, spiritual connection, and self-trust through breath, food, sound, and ceremony.

I’m here to activate the New Ancestors—those courageous enough to break patterns and leave behind a new energetic legacy.

The Future is in Council.
This body of work truly weaves the global villages and human wisdom systems into experiences and expressions ceremony and healing.
We have come as far as we will ever get alone, and now more than ever, our lives are being called into a greater intimacy.

TECHNOLOGY [definition]
the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes

All Technologies here are applied in service of re-orienting the body, mind & spirit.

All is Mind, The Universe is Mental’
~ The Kybalion

Applied Breath, Focus, Sound, Somatic & Relational Technologies can help change our perception, they can act as training wheels for what the human mind and body is learning to do on its own. We are living in an emergent time ~ where natural and artificial technologies are blurring and ‘new’ ways of understanding are re-awakening.

Historically, we have employed various technologies to manipulate energy and change our experience; astrology, ritual, chants, farming, cooking and the ancient ‘sciences’ hid meanings, methods and applications that modern science are now catching up with.

Change your perception, change your life….

Kundalini: The 5000+ year old ‘Yoga of Sound’, designed to join the finite human experience with the infinite nature of the universe. This technology unifies, expands consciousness and creates the environment for human evolution. 40-day Sadhanas were used to change perception, balance health, wellness & even defend sonically and energetically in times of war.

The technology of intention, ritual or prayer has been widely accepted and used in affecting change in perception.

Breathwork, Meditation all now have scientific backing and methodologies applied to change physiology, brainwave patterns, limiting beliefs, chronic pain and now advance the development of our 15 senses - FSP (Full Sensory Perception)

Animist POV: Technology is not separate from nature and like all things, we can shift our perception at anytime to relate to its many faces with integrity and curiosity.

‘You have to act like it’s radically possible to change the world, and you have to do it all the time.’ Angela Davis

Applied Technology in service of advanced health, healing. and wholeness, works cumulatively, as it evolves and advanced its purpose with consistent practice over time.
