The Breema touch is nurturing, present, and without judgment. 🌿
It reminds the body of its natural vitality, releasing tension and inviting balance.

Through simple, rhythmic movements offered with no force, the body experiences support instead of strain. This quality of touch communicates acceptance—helping us feel more connected to ourselves and more available to life.

✨ In Breema, we learn that giving is as balancing as receiving: grounding, harmonizing, and opening the door to presence.

🗓 Join us in upcoming classes—online or in person at the Breema Center in Oakland or Hummingbird Valley in Santa Cruz.

Our body is made to use illness as an occasional tonic, a temporary medicine in order to cleanse and strengthen itself.

In his latest Substack article, Jon Schreiber, DC, shares a grounded perspective on how the overstimulation of modern life disrupts our natural balance—and how Breema directly supports the nervous system.

“The underlying philosophy of Breema says that there is nothing wrong with you, but actually that there is something right with you, intrinsically…then the therapeutic process becomes less focused on fixing what is wrong with you and developing a relationship with what is actually right with you.”

Matthew Tousignant, Somatic Therapist, Breema Practitioner and Instructor

Two things that your patients need in order to have a more successful outcome from the care you offer them are confidence and calmness. And these two characteristics are best supported in one way—by you, the provider, exemplifying them.⁠

When you are relaxed, you foster relaxation in your patients, and the healing process is supported.⁠

Join Jon Schreiber, DC, and Alexandra Johnson, MD for a workshop designed specifically for healthcare practitioners, bodyworkers, therapists, and caregivers.⁠
⁠
You'll learn Self-Breema exercises, practice Breema bodywork sequences, and discover how the Nine Principles of Harmony can support both your clinical practice and your life.⁠

This workshop offers tools to: ⁠

🌱 Support your clients while remaining calm and confident ⁠
🌱 Approach health as a process, not a singular endpoint ⁠
🌱 Discover more balance, harmony and joy in your work⁠

"Breema gives me a base to come back to."
