Somatic Breathwork: Trauma Release, Emotional Wellness & Optimal Health is an extensive, comprehensive professional guide to the practice of Somatic Integrative Breathwork using a multi-disciplinary and trauma-informed approach. Whether born from a single overwhelming event or the quiet accumulation of life's challenges, unresolved trauma shapes how we feel, think, relate, and move through the world. Its imprint lives not only in memory―but in the body. Somatic Breathwork offers a powerful, body-based path to healing through the lens of Blissful Journey Breathwork.
