I spent fifteen years in video production and studied Western philosophy. I was good at thinking. I was not good at feeling.
I didn't know that was a problem until breathwork showed me how much I'd been holding in my body that my mind had no access to. Fear I didn't know I was carrying, grief I thought I'd processed, anger and resentment I was taking out on people who had nothing to do with where it came from.
That first time cracked something open. I shook, I cried, I beat up pillows. I felt completely different in my body and my mind afterward. And I started to see how much of my life I'd been living unconsciously, driven by old patterns I couldn't see.
Since then, this work has changed how I handle pressure, how I connect with people, and what I'm willing to commit to. It taught me how to be with fear and doubt instead of running from them. Without it, I don't think I would have gotten married, had a child, or had the guts to do this work at all. To let myself be seen in this way.
Now I work with individuals and teams who are ready to stop working around what they're feeling and start working with it. I lead private sessions, group breathwork, men's groups, and team sessions for organizations. The work meets people where they are.
I trained with Jesse Torgerson, who has been facilitating this work around the world for over 40 years. My approach draws from breathwork, somatic coaching, inquiry, and bioenergetics, but the core is simple: help people metabolize what they've been carrying so they can move forward with more freedom.
