Dynamic Breathwork

Dynamic Breathwork is for what you can't think your way out of. It is an incredibly powerful tool for unwinding unconscious patterns of bracing in the body.

It is a meditation, an embodiment practice, and a form of somatic self-healing.

The mind can only process so much, and breathwork goes around it. It works with the body directly, and a single session can shift things that have been stuck for years. People often leave feeling lighter and clearer, more like themselves.

There are many types of breathwork for somatic release, such as Stanislav Grof's Holotropic Breathwork and Leonard Orr's Rebirthing Breathwork. Dynamic Breathwork, developed by my teacher Jesse Torgerson, follows in these traditions, but combines the conscious connected breath with a system of somatic points used to locate and dissolve emotional and physical armoring that has outlived its usefulness. The points allow the material to come into consciousness, and the breath allows it to be metabolized.

Somatic Coaching

Most people who come to me know something is off but can't quite name it. They're stuck in patterns they can see but can't seem to break, or they feel disconnected from themselves, their relationships, or their work.

Usually there's something underneath that's been shoved aside. A feeling, a fear, an old story running in the background. And the longer it stays buried, the more it drives behavior from the shadows.

Coaching gives us space to find what's actually there and work with it directly. Not just talk about it, but feel it, move it, and let it change.

Common Questions

"Somatic" simply means of the body. While coaching involves the mind, it emphasizes felt experience—sensations, emotions, breath, and physical patterns. Rather than analyzing history and story, somatic coaching brings direct contact with present-moment experience. Challenges are explored through how they manifest physically, with shifts occurring through awareness, movement, and breath work.

People seek support when something feels wrong but they cannot name it specifically. Common concerns include feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in old patterns; navigating major life transitions like parenthood, burnout, grief, or identity shifts; and seeking grounded, embodied work beyond traditional therapy or personal development approaches.

Coaching sessions are more spacious and adaptive than breathwork-focused sessions. While breathwork may be incorporated, these engagements draw from a broader toolkit including guided inquiry, parts work, reflective conversation, and other somatic processes tailored to what emerges during each session.

Not exactly, though overlap exists. Therapy is clinical with diagnosis and fixed methods, while coaching is experiential, body-based, and relational—emphasizing meeting oneself honestly rather than fixing problems. Many therapy clients find this work complements their previous explorations.

A note: The services I offer are coaching and facilitation in nature. I am not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical professional, and I do not diagnose, treat, or offer mental health care. My work is somatic and experiential, focused on supporting personal insight, embodiment, and emotional awareness. While powerful material can arise in these sessions, they are not a substitute for clinical mental health care. If you are currently experiencing severe emotional distress, trauma symptoms, or mental health challenges that significantly impact your daily functioning, I recommend working with a licensed therapist alongside or instead of this work.

"Eli is an intuitive facilitator with real clarity around how to get to the heart of things. Working with him has taught me how to feel my emotions, express them, and use them to grow and find my direction in life."

— Timothy Muller

Men's Groups

There's something uniquely powerful about men coming together in authentic community.

Most of us were never taught how to do this. We learned to handle things alone, to push through, to compartmentalize. But we cannot bear life's burdens in isolation and still show up as the men we want to be.

In group, we create space for real conversation, mutual support, and the kind of honest reflection that's hard to find elsewhere. We witness each other, hold each other accountable, and work with the parts of ourselves we'd rather not look at: the shadow material that runs our lives when left unexamined.

Everything is invited. This is a space to bring your full self.

The work is not always comfortable. We challenge each other. We push each other toward growth. And in becoming more whole, we cultivate inner power: the kind that makes you grounded, clear, connected, and fully alive.

Groups may include breathwork, somatic exercises, facilitated discussion, and presence practices.
