What is Breathwork, Reiki, & Yoga?

Breathwork refers to a variety of intentional breathing techniques designed to enhance physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. The breath is your superpower, present with you every moment of life.

When we experience trauma, it leaves an imprint on our muscles and nervous system, disrupting the natural flow of energy in the body. Over time, these blockages manifest as discomfort, disorder, or dis-ease. Often, we push these experiences aside, attempting to dissociate from the pain. However, unprocessed emotions remain stored within us, quietly impacting our overall well-being.

Through Breathwork, I guide you in using your breath to move and release stuck energy and emotions that may be holding you back from your fullest self-expression. While this process can feel challenging, it is profoundly transformative when done in a safe and supported space. Breathwork sessions empower you to tap into your inner vitality, release old patterns, and foster emotional healing.

Reiki is a practice of channeling universal energy to restore harmony and balance to your mind, body, and spirit. As a Reiki practitioner, I use gentle hands-on or hands-off techniques to help you access this healing energy. Reiki supports the release of blockages, restores your body’s natural rhythms, and helps address the roots of imbalance.

Reiki is especially beneficial for athletes, aiding in recovery from injuries, reducing inflammation, and improving overall physical performance by balancing the body’s energy systems. For those undergoing chemotherapy for cancer, Reiki provides a non-invasive and deeply soothing complement to medical treatments. It helps ease emotional stress, alleviate physical discomfort, and promote relaxation, allowing the body to focus on healing.

Yoga integrates breath, movement, and mindfulness to create a holistic connection between body, mind, and spirit. I am currently in training to become a certified Yoga teacher, and soon I will offer sessions designed to help you build strength, flexibility, and inner peace. Yoga will complement the healing work of Breathwork and Reiki, offering an additional pathway to find balance, regulate your nervous system, and deepen your connection to self.

If you’re ready to release old patterns, regulate your emotions, and embrace a more balanced and aligned life, Breathwork, Reiki, and soon-to-come Yoga are here to support you on your journey.


Benefits of Breathwork, Reiki, & Yoga

Each breath is an opportunity to pause, reset, and live in the present. Breathwork therapy is an active form of meditation that uses your most natural and powerful action—breathing—to reduce stress, improve sleep, and cultivate self-love and well-being. It encourages presence, mental clarity, and a sense of calm while helping to release past traumas and unproductive narratives. At Confluence Breath and Bodywork in Bend, Oregon, I provide a safe, intentional space to guide you through this transformative practice. Whether you’re seeking trauma healing, managing anxiety, or improving mindfulness, Breathwork offers a pathway to profound growth and well-being.

Reiki energy healing provides a holistic approach to emotional and physical wellness. It can alleviate depression, anxiety, and fatigue while improving sleep, inner peace, and vitality. For individuals undergoing cancer treatments like chemotherapy, Reiki complements medical care by reducing pain, anxiety, and fatigue. Locally in Bend, Oregon, Reiki is offered in hospitals to enhance patient care. Athletes benefit greatly from Reiki’s ability to accelerate recovery, reduce inflammation, and improve energy flow for optimal performance. Reiki is also ideal for addressing stress relief, chronic pain, and emotional balance in both individual and remote sessions.

Yoga practice, soon to be offered as I complete my Yoga Teacher Training certification, bridges the mind-body connection by combining mindful movement, breath, and stillness. Yoga supports flexibility, strength, and stress reduction, making it an excellent complement to Breathwork and Reiki. For athletes, Yoga enhances mobility, prevents injuries, and improves focus and recovery. For those navigating emotional or physical challenges, Yoga creates a foundation for inner peace, balance, and holistic healing. Sessions will be available in-person, virtually, and in retreat settings to suit your unique needs.

All three modalities—Breathwork therapy, Reiki healing, and Yoga sessions—work together to empower individuals to live with greater clarity, resilience, and well-being. While these practices are not substitutes for medical care, they provide powerful tools for stress management, emotional healing, and spiritual alignment.

The goal is to free up space for creativity, balance, and emotional regulation, leaving you feeling lighter and more centered. Reiki for athletes is especially powerful, promoting healing and rejuvenation while enhancing sports performance and recovery. Reiki aids muscle repair after intense workouts, accelerating regeneration, and reducing the risk of injury. It also addresses sports-related injuries such as sprains, strains, and bruises, speeding up the healing process and ensuring a more complete recovery.

I am also in the process of completing Yoga Teacher Training, and soon I’ll offer thoughtfully designed Yoga sessions as part of my services. These sessions will complement Breathwork and Reiki, providing an integrated approach to healing and growth. Yoga will be available in private, group, and virtual settings, helping you build strength, flexibility, and mindfulness in a supportive environment.

Reiki, a versatile energy healing practice originating from Japan, uses “Universal Energy” or “Life Force” to restore harmony in the mind, body, and spirit. Through gentle palm-healing techniques, Reiki clears blockages, balances energy fields, and reduces stress. Whether you’re an athlete seeking peak performance, an individual recovering from injury, or someone on a journey of stress relief and personal growth, Reiki provides a powerful pathway to healing.
