Breath
The word ‘inspire’ is derived from the Latin Root- ‘Inspirare’
inin (“into”) + spirare (“to breathe”) to breathe life in
We all enter this life with an inhale, and will leave with an exhale— taking millions of breaths in between. Yet most move through life disconnected from this essential rhythm.
When we become consciously Aware of our breath, our nervous system recalibrates.
our mind softens. our body remembers its innate wisdom and eases into Being, Human.
The breath is always available, A stabilizing force within you.
Ancient traditions revere the breath, referred to as:
Prana is life force in Indian philosophy
Qi is energy Chinese Medicine.
Modern science is emerging with contemporary research that shows Breathwork can:
reduce physical tension and stress
improve emotional regulation and resilience
supports relief of anxiety and depression
enhance cognitive focus and clarity
increase BOLT score (measure of vitality)
improve heart coherence (optimum well-being)
Alysa specializes in nervous system regulation, somatic integration, and embodied presence.
Her breathwork approach integrates ancient pranayama, contemporary nervous-system science, and creative integration practices to support clarity, emotional steadiness, and grounded transformation.
Alysa’s introduction to breathwork began in 2014 through Holotropic Breathwork. Experiencing the work as both “breather” and “sitter” profoundly shaped her understanding of the breath’s therapeutic potential. Witnessing an entire room move through deep internal shifts using only breath opened a lifelong dedication to exploring its intelligence and healing capacity.
She continued her studies through ancient lineages, the modern work of Max Strom, and professional training in ReWild Breathwork, a trauma-informed approach to conscious breathing. This blend of tradition and science gives Alysa’s work a unique depth—both intuitive and evidence-informed.
Alysa’s facilitation style is grounded, warm, and steady. She creates a safe, contained environment where participants can access the breath’s innate wisdom without overwhelm. Her guidance supports staying rooted in the body while allowing space for imagination, intuition, and insight to arise naturally.
Private Breathwork
Each private breath session is a curated, one-to-one experience designed to support deep regulation and embodied release. We begin by settling the nervous system and orienting to the body, allowing awareness to gently reveal where stress, emotion, or habitual holding patterns live within the body–mind.
Breath becomes a subtle tool for release and re-patterning — not through force, but through presence, pacing, and attunement. You are guided with care, offered choice throughout, and supported in listening to your own internal signals. As the body softens, space opens for clarity, insight, and a felt sense of ease.
Each session closes with integration, allowing new patterns of regulation and awareness to settle naturally.

Whether working privately or with groups Alysa’s intention remains the same: to help people regulate their nervous system, release stored patterns, and return to presence—one breath at a time.
We begin with grounding practices and gentle breath awareness to calm the nervous system. Participants are then guided into a cyclical, three-part breathing pattern supported by curated music and somatic cues. Each session concludes with integration, reflection, and rest, allowing the body and mind to fully absorb the transformational experience..
Alysa’s approach emphasizes safety, consent, and self-attunement, allowing each participant to move at their own pace and depth of true transformation.
