Shift Breathwork Collective, Victoria, BC (2025)

12/11/2025

Have you ever questioned why certain patterns keep resurfacing, even when you’re doing your best to leave them behind?

It’s because we can’t think our what out of what is held in the body.

When our system has carried too much for too long, it learns to repeat what feels familiar, even if those patterns no longer serve the life we want to create.

These responses aren’t signs of weakness — they’re biology, protective patterns the body never had the chance to complete.

Breathwork offers a new signal — one that supports a felt sense of safety & a return to internal coherence.

With conscious breath, the body learns to soften old patterns, expand capacity, & shift into states that reflect who we’re becoming, rather than who we came in order to survive.

Breathwork offers release, softens what’s been held, & provides clarity; it’s the bridge back to wholeness.

If you’re ready to move beyond the patterns that have been holding you back, I’ve got you! ❤️

🌿 Join me for an online breathwork ceremony, link it bio, group or private.

Also offering in-person 1-1 or group ceremonies in Victoria, DM me for details, I’d love to connect! ❤️

📆 Next online: Jan. 4, 10:00 AM PST

Join us to release what you no longer want to carry forward from 2025 & connect with a beautiful intention for an amazing 2026. ❤️✨

Are you waiting to take your first step because you think you need it all figured out first?

We often wait for certainty, for the perfect plan, the right time, for the fear to quiet — but clarity isn’t created in stillness.
It emerges through movement.
Through action.
Through showing our nervous system that we can hold uncertainty, and still stay anchored in safety.

When we take even a small step, the path begins to reveal itself — & possibilities emerge that we couldn’t previously see.

We build confidence by doing, not by analyzing.

Strength comes from engaging with life, not waiting for the ideal moment.

The path forward appears as we walk it — not before.

The truth is, nothing changes, until something changes, & it all starts with the first courageous step forward in faith.

Gentle reminder, it’s progress over perfection & we learn by doing.

Start messy, start uncertain, start without a clear path, just take a deep breath, exhale and begin…. 🌿

💬 What small step forward can you commit to today towards what you desire, even if the path is not clear? 🌿⬇️

Can you relate to that underlying current in your life telling you something is off, even when it looks fine from the outside?

If these feelings sound familiar, they’re not signs that you’re falling behind, it’s your inner compass speaking — quiet cues that the way you’re living no longer matches the truth of who you are.

They’re whispers asking for attention & deep honesty, as you may have outgrown parts of your life that once felt familiar, but no longer reflect who you’re meant to become.

Alignment is the congruence between our values, emotions, thoughts, actions, self-concept & our authentic self.

When we are in alignment, we feel clearer, a sense of coherence, more motivated, & things start to flow with more ease.

Stepping into alignment may feel destabilizing at first, it may mean honouring ourselves, speaking our truth, or burning things down to begin again.

Starting over is not failure, it is a re-birth.

It may require us to step out of the familiar & into the discomfort of the unknown.

To release situations & relationships that hold us back.

To leave behind that which no longer aligns with what we desire to create & embody.

It may be a shedding — but honours our truth & inner knowing, reminding us that we’re on the right path, even if it feels difficult at first.

We step into alignment when we choose to trust our inner guidance system; when we let our truth carry more weight than old patterns, & are congruent in our thoughts & actions.

It’s never too late my sweet friend, to choose the life that aligns with the whispers of your inner knowing & all that you desire to become. 🌿✨

It’s in alignment that we find more peace, joy, fulfilment & that life begins to flow with more ease.

What would it feel like to breathe & take that first, small, courageous step forward?🌿✨

Did anything you thought was rest turn out to be one of things that could be depleting you?🧐

True rest is about intentionally giving our brain & nervous system a chance to get a break from constant input, decision-making, & stimulation.

When we create space with quiet, stillness, conscious breath, non-sleep deep rest (NSDR), or quiet time in nature, our system can finally shift from managing to restoring.

When we want to decompress, it’s easy to confuse downtime with true rest. What we may interpret as rest — scrolling, binge watching, background noise (TV, the radio, music with lyrics), or phone-based walks — keeps the mind busy, processing information.

Even when it feels passive, the brain stays switched on, filtering, interpreting, staying alert. It may feel relaxing, but it’s not replenishment, & this continual stimulation can dysregulate cortisol rhythms, elevate adrenaline, & disrupt the hormonal balance that supports stable energy, restorative sleep, & the body’s ability to recover.

Even music, which can bring joy, lift our mood & support regulation, can also keep the mind engaged when it has lyrics or a lot of sensory input, so there are moments when our system needs quiet to shift out of stimulation & into true restoration.

A walk without our phone or headphones can sometimes be the quiet that we need.

Rest doesn’t have to be long or elaborate.
And it doesn’t have to be earned.
Rest is essential for returning to clarity, presence, energy, & the inner steadiness that helps soften the physiological effects of stress & supporting our resilience.

With the busyness of the holidays upon us, I hope that you can carve out a few moments each day to invest in yourself & true rest — we all so need & deserve it. 💛

Easing the pressure & prioritizing true rest can be one of the most restorative things we can do. 💛🌿

Have you considered how the way you interpret things is shaping your life?

If you reflect, are you responding from faith or doubt?
Love or fear?
Abundance or lack?
Intentional choice or conditioning?
Self-compassion or self-judgement?

The meaning we give our experiences quietly shapes our reality.

When we make the subconscious conscious & bring awareness to the meaning we’ve been giving our experiences, we open to the possibility of creating a supportive new story.

Reframing our interpretations & limiting beliefs enables us to choose a perspective that supports our expansion.🌿

Each time we pause, breathe & meet a reaction, a story or a pattern with a more constructive perspective, we strengthen new neural pathways that reinforce a more empowering way of seeing ourselves… which shapes how we feel, how we show up & how we interact with the world. 🌿✨

Just as these reframes helped me shift, I hope they support you in seeing things with a little more self-compassion, curiosity & optimism — and open the door to embracing new possibilities & a way of being. 💛

💬 Which limiting belief are you ready to reframe into a more empowering story? What would you add? ⬇️

How often do you find yourself silencing your voice or abandoning your needs?

Connecting with both a dear friend & a co-worker this past week inspired this post, hearing them share of feeling unable to uphold their of boundaries, to express their voice & the toll it is taking.

I have been there & it is so costly. When we self-abandon, we lose ourselves, we wither, & we can’t thrive when we are living out of alignment & where we don’t feel that we can be our authentic self.

We often learn to shrink or stay quiet because a protection pattern once taught us that it kept us safe.

Over time, that pattern can become a default response, even when it no longer aligns with who we are, what we value, or the life we want to create.

It’s with awareness that we start to recognize where we are self-abandoning & where boundaries can support us to choose responses that support us to honour our voice & to step into our worth.

Honouring our boundaries isn’t about pushing others away — it’s about protecting our energy & standing in alignment with who we are, what we need, & the respect we deserve.

When we choose to speak our truth, we’re choosing a life built on clarity, authenticity, integrity, worth & self-trust. 💛

When we start paying attention to these patterns, journaling can be a powerful tool to understand them more deeply.

Journaling gives us space to name what’s happening inside, & to see the truths we often overlook.

Shadow work invites us to explore the deeper layers — the stories, patterns & unmet needs that quietly shape our reactions.

When we bring awareness to these parts, we open to door for self- compassion & possibility.

With awareness, & breathing into a felt sense of safety, we can choose to honour ourselves, our voice, our boundaries & to step beyond the old stories & conditioning into alignment with our truth & our worth. ❤️✨

Why does it feel so hard to start, even when we know something needs to change?

It’s not a flaw or that we are lazy — it’s biology — our nervous system tries to keep us safe in the familiar, even when the familiar no longer supports the life we want.

Even when we know we desire more — better health & fitness, a new career path, to expand our business, a more enhancing relationship, more wealth, or freedom — that biology can hold us back, keeping us playing it safe, repeating familiar patterns.

So many of us wait to feel motivated or ready before we begin.  
However readiness isn’t a feeling we wait for — it’s a signal our nervous system learns through small, consistent actions that cue safety.

I know that taking the first step can be challenging when we are feeling unmotivated or stuck, as our system is trying to keep us in what’s known.

However, taking even a small action begins to shift our biology — the brain responds, dopamine rises, & our system registers new cues of safety. 🌿

It’s taking action that supports us to expand our capacity & feel more confident, not the other way around.

Motivation may rise & fade, we can’t wait for, or depend on feeling motivated.

It’s a regulated nervous system, dedication, & the belief that we are worth the life we desire that supports consistency and our capacity to expand. 🌿💛✨

With every micro step we take, we strengthen self-trust — the foundation that makes lasting change possible.

If there’s a quiet whisper that you’re meant for more, releasing the familiar of anything that you may have outgrown, and taking that courageous first step forward in faith opens the door for alignment and expansion.

What would it feel like to take a few slow grounding breathes to let your system know that it’s safe to begin, and to take that first step forward? Your dreams await. 🌿✨

Are you feeling stressed about the holidays?

The holidays can bring joy & connection, but they can also carry pressure, tension & family dynamics that can leave us feeling stretched thin. And for those who are grieving, the season can feel especially tender, calling for more care & compassion toward ourselves.

Choosing to move intentionally through the season can make all the difference — slowing down, softening the pressure, & taking time to invest in what supports us.

Planning ahead & prioritizing small moments of care for ourselves is one of the most supportive ways to move through the holidays with more calm & ease.

Self-care doesn’t need to be long or elaborate. It can be a few slow breaths, taking a short walk in the fresh air, or carving out a moment for yourself before the day pulls you in every direction.

Although they may seem minor, these small choices regulate our nervous system & help support our well-being, so we can show up with more presence, clarity & resilience.

Gentle reminder, that we don’t have to earn rest, our worth is not dependant upon what we do or create.

The holiday season isn’t defined by gifts or how much we do — it’s shaped by our state, the quality of our connection and the moments that a we share with friends & loved ones. ❤️

When we ease the pressure, we make space to enjoy what truly matters.

When you are focusing on the list of things to take care of, make sure that you are including yourself on that list. We can’t pour from an empty cup. 💛✨

💬 I’d love to know, what helps you feel more grounded during the holidays? ⬇️

Feeling anxious, wired or unable to focus?

This is one of my favourite breathwork practices for restoring a sense of calm.

Nadi Shodhana, or alternate nostril breathing, is a powerful pranayama practice shown to balance activity between the left & right hemispheres of the brain, regulate the autonomic nervous system, & support greater mental clarity & coherence between breath & heart.

This technique calms the stress response, supports vagal nerve activity & improves heart rate variability — making it especially beneficial during stress, anxiety, before sleep, or when preparing for meditation, or focused work.

How to practice:
 🌿Close your left nostril with your thumb & inhale slowly through your right nostril.
 🌿Close the right nostril with your ring finger & exhale slowly through the left.
 🌿Inhale slowly through the left.
 🌿Close the left, exhale through the right.
 🌿Continue alternating in a smooth, steady rhythm for 2–5 minutes.

A simple practice — yet profoundly stabilising for both body & mind.⚖️✨

I invite you to pause, to take a minute for yourself right now to do a couple of rounds to come back into centre. How does that feel? 🧘‍♀️✨

💬 Do you practice Nadi Shodhana? How do you find it benefits you? ⬇️

I have always loved this quote as a reminder of the light & potential within all of us.💎✨

It inspires us to share our gifts, to trust the quiet knowing that we are meant to shine our light and to ignite that in others.

The world needs your creativity, your wild ideas, your brilliance, your beautiful heart and your magic my friend. Embrace your light. ✨💫

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in everyone.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”

What would shift for you if you saw with compassion the things that keep you feeling stuck not a flaws — but as protective patterns that can be understood and shifted?

This work has offered me so much insight, healing, and clarity — helping me break free of limiting beliefs, release old patterns & stuck emotion and to step forward toward my dreams.

We don’t have to live inside the constraints of our past or the familiar patterns that may be keeping us small. There is liberation in letting go of what is no longer serving us nor aligns with what we desire & stepping into faith & possibility.

Our breath is the bridge to clarity, truth, & a felt sense of safety — a portal for release and an opening to create space for writing a new, empowered story, aligned with who we’re becoming.

When we see the roles of our nervous system, our body, our mindset, and the familiar stories we’ve carried in shaping us, we can meet ourselves with far more compassion.

We can then open to expansion through awareness, conscious breath, & taking courageous, small steps forward aligned with our truth. 🌿💛✨

I hope that this resonated & that it may support you to have a little more self- compassionate & to know that transformation is possible for you my sweet friend. 🌿💛

While many people think saunas are just good for relaxing & making you sweat, the truth is that they offer far deeper benefits.

Sauna use can support mood, energy, mental clarity and healthspan by enhancing circulation, improving cardiovascular conditioning, strengthening your body’s ability to adapt to stress, supporting metabolic function, deepening restorative sleep, strengthening immune resilience & activating cellular repair pathways.

Research also shows that regular sauna use is also associated with a significantly lower risk of dementia & Alzheimer’s disease.

All great reasons to incorporate sauna use into your regular rituals.

Guidelines:
 🌿 10–20 minutes per session, work your way up, you can cycle in and out
 🌿 2–4 + sessions per week
 🌿 hydrate with electrolytes 
I’ve been loving getting my sauna sessions in after workouts lately, so restorative. 🌿✨
