Have you noticed that when you’re stuck in the grips of your overthinking, analytical and judgemental mind, you might be feeling?

  • anxious & overwhelmed 

  • tense in your body

  • exhausted, burnt out and stuck in Go Go Go mode 

  • like it’s hard to relax and take down time

  • disconnected from loved ones - not fully present to what’s happening in the world around you

  • disconnected from yourself - your usual resourcefulness, body’s needs, signals and feelings

  • more emotionally reactive, sometimes leading to regret

You’re not alone, I lived in this way MOST of my life until cycles of crippling burnout forced me to find another way…

When you move into your body, this becomes possible:

  • A greater capacity to move through life’s ups and downs with more EASE, FLOW, CLARITY & CONFIDENCE

  • Feeling more grounded, peaceful and calm

  • Access to RELAXATION by releasing restriction and tension in the body-mind 

  • An embodied sense of home, self-connection and wholeness

  • Mental and emotional clarity in your decisions, relationships and work 

  • Inner FREEDOM and spaciousness in your day, even when you’re busy

  • Less emotional reactivity and more inner space to choose responses aligned with your fuller self

  • More capacity for JOY and PRESENCE to the people and things that matter most

  • A deeper connection to yourself, to others, to nature and to spirit

And just like it's been for me,

Breathwork can be your doorway to feel

MORE OF THIS in YOUR days.

What People Are Saying

“Now that I have reconnected to my breath, I feel like I've gained control over myself. Through the breath, I've found my grounding, my SELF, and spark again.” 

— VENITA T.

“Like most of us, living up in my head is where I learned to find safety in my life. I was going through the motions, mostly disconnected from and feeling unsafe in my body. In a gradual and gentle way, Charmaine has taught me how to access my body and my breath as powerful sources of healing, wisdom, and compassion. Most of us don’t know where to begin or how to access this. Her approach allowed for the creation of gradual connections of safety with the landscape of my body and breath. Charmaine has a tremendous gift of holding space, compassion and teaching us how to embark on that journey of reconnecting with ourselves fully. I believe this work is foundational for anyone looking to live more authentically and within their own power.”

— HEIDI D.

“I’m grateful for the breathing tools I’ve learned with you because they can be used anytime, anywhere. When I notice I’m stressed at work and have tension in my shoulders, I pick a technique I think might best relax me. It still amazes me that within a few seconds only, I bring my stress levels down, I feel better, and choose responses rather than just reacting. How awesome that I’ve had that untapped power all along.”

— NADINE L.

Hi, I’m Charmaine 
I’m so happy you’re here…

I’m a trauma informed breathwork facilitator, teacher, speaker and embodiment coach who’s walked a long and winding path of healing from chronic burnout and finding  myself again. I may also be known for my hearty laugh, being an over-the-top doggie momma, and a globe-trotting adventure seeker. 

By reconnecting to my breath and body (ie. breathwork + embodiment), I’ve found the vehicles to reclaim a felt sense of freedom, safety, inner peace, self-connection and joy within.

Through breathwork and coaching + nervous system regulation techniques, I guide you on the journey of feeling less stuck in the stress of your mind to feeling more liberated and grounded in your body.

When we restore this essential connection and deepen our relationship with our bodies and breath, we come into deeper alignment with our innate wholeness, others, nature and spirit. We unlock our inner power and create the conditions for true presence, resilience and thriving.

My Mission & Approach

I want everyone to have access to the tools for living from an empowered and free place within. Despite the craziness of today’s modern world, I believe that we’re all meant to live with MORE ease, flow and joy!  To me, this begins with reconnecting to our body and breath so we can lead from regulated nervous systems. 

​I use a powerful combination of full-spectrum breathwork, movement, embodiment coaching, nervous system regulation and body-centered practices to support you in finding your resilient and vibrant self again!  

I believe that healing and the most meaningful changes happen from the inside out. We hold the wisdom and inner resources to heal ourselves within. I’m here to guide you to tap into these innate and powerful healing resources. 

I come to my work with a compassionate and intuitive approach grounded in the wisdom of my own challenges, professional training and the latest trauma-informed science.

You will come out on the other side with easy, effective and personalized practices you’ll be able to seamlessly carry into your days, a strong connection to your inner resources, groundedness in your body, and intuition so that you can feel like your most empowered and whole self.

FAQ

  • “Breathwork” is an umbrella term for various types of conscious breathing practices that can be integrated in every aspect of life. Throughout history, and across ancient civilizations, great healers have discovered the power of conscious breathing to enhance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.

    What was once secret and sacred, breathwork is now a modern science and inner experience that is quickly becoming mainstream, and available to everyone.

    As a breathwork practitioner, I use a variety of tools that fall in one of 3 categories: simple breath Awareness tools, practical Self-Regulation techniques, and a Transformative breathwork style called conscious connected breathing (CCB). This powerful style of breathwork supports personal and spiritual transformation.

  • We cannot talk about Breathwork without talking about the energy constantly moving throughout our nervous system. In today’s modern society it’s so common to feel stress and anxiety, we’re caught up in our brain and thinking mind most of the time, disconnected from our physical, spiritual and emotional self, and often unable to truly let go and relax. What ancient traditions knew, science is now catching up to. Heaps of studies are revealing that by changing patterns of breathing, we are able to restore balance to these stress response systems (our nervous system), calm an agitated mind, find emotional balance, improve physical health and endurance, and improve relationships. The power of Breathwork lies in its simplicity, accessibility and relevance in today’s fast-paced world.
