Breathwork Offerings
What is Breathwork?
Our breath is an ever-present resource - it is with you every day. When you consciously connect to your breath, it becomes a powerful tool for transformation.
Therapeutic Breathwork uses a conscious, connected, circular breath to tap into deep healing. In this type of Breathwork, you will be coached to use a specific breath pattern, combined with the support of music and possible touch while I gently support you.
This type of conscious, connected breath allows you to release patterns or energy that are stored in your tissue. It is a somatic practice that can release trauma and unprocessed emotions, connect with deeper self-love, and integrate healing.
Sessions are never the same. You may feel like you are traveling to a state of non-ordinary consciousness, or you might feel mostly relaxed and calm. Whatever shows up, it is an opportunity to be with yourself in a safe, supported container, with the ultimate goal of healing, knowing and loving yourself more deeply.
Benefits of Breathwork
Emotional: Release of stored emotion and trauma. Decreased stress and anxiety.
Mental: Increased mental clarity and self-awareness.
Spiritual: More joy, connection, self-compassion, and creativity.
Physical: Better digestion, circulation and respiratory function. More regulated nervous system.
Who is Therapeutic Breathwork for?
I believe this practice benefits everyone.* I find it is most beneficial for people who are on a healing journey and are looking for more. Perhaps talk therapy isn’t feeling as effective, or you want to explore a somatic access point.
* This practice is not suitable for individuals with certain medical conditions, including but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, epilepsy, and untreated mental health disorders.
Breathwork Offerings
Private Sessions
Private 90-minute sessions generally include 15 minutes of connecting to begin, 60 minutes of active breathwork practice and 15 minutes of post-practice support. You will breathe using the conscious connected breath technique. My goal is for you to feel as safe, comfortable and relaxed as possible during the breath practice. We will utilize a mat for lying down, blankets, other props, and music to set the space. I am there to hold the space, as well as providing guidance and physical support (if desired).
During the breathwork practice, you can expect anything from deep relaxation to physical, emotional, and psychological experiences. These experiences can vary among individuals and may include tingling of extremities, altered states of consciousness, emotional release, or the surfacing of traumatic memories. Every experience is unique. Breathwork Sessions are available both in person in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, and virtually on zoom.
Group Breathwork Circles
What you can expect in a group session:
The individual experience you have in a group session may be very similar to a private session. Often there is a guided meditation to begin, 45-60 minutes of active breathwork practice, and a sharing circle to close (you’re not required to share). Most groups include up to 15 people, set up with mats and props as needed.
About Me
In my own life, Therapeutic Breathwork has helped me better understand myself, my relationships, and my connection to Earth and to Source. It has provided me with more peace, ease, and freedom in my everyday life. After my first session, I was blown away by the depth of access to emotions, and I knew this was a path to healing for me. It has helped heal my mind, body, and spirit in ways that modalities like traditional therapy could not.
Here’s what you can expect from me as a practitioner:
I’m a great listener - I listen to both your words but also listen in on a deeper level.
I’m a loving presence - I hold you in deep compassion and empathy, witnessing and honoring your journey.
I drop in - I am really present with you throughout your experience.
I create a safe container - I hold gentle, intuitive, and present space.
I’m on my own transformational journey - it is imperative that I do my own work as I hold space for others doing theirs.
Healing and transformation come from within — and I’m here to help you find your path to this innate wisdom.

Sessions with Ginny felt easy, welcoming and warm. She creates a welcoming, comforting, safe environment for this type of work. She is personable, professional, spiritual, intelligent and humble. She is walking her talk, practicing her own practice and very present.

I've had the privilege of receiving breathwork from Ginny for a couple of years now. She has a very warm presence that makes you feel fully supported throughout each session. The music always feels perfectly aligned with each session and helps to guide the breathwork journey. Sometimes I cry and have a big release, and sometimes it's a deep relaxation. I highly recommend Ginny for breathwork to support you on your healing journey!
Breathwork sessions with Ginny are relaxing, rejuvenating and very healing. Highly recommend!
