Retrain Your Nervous System.
One Breath At A Time.
Somatic breathwork creates the space to feel what you've been avoiding, release what your body has been holding, and rewire how you respond to stress, conflict, and intimacy.
Led by Steven Fero, PCC | Soma+IQ Certified Somatic Breathwork Practitioner
Why You Can't Just Think or Talk Your Way Through This
Maybe you've tried to understand your patterns, talk about your trauma, or even have insights about why you react the way you do.
And yet your body still:
Tightens when someone criticizes you
Shuts down when conflict or anxiety arises
Holds tension you can't seem to release
Goes into fight, flight, or freeze before you can even think
That's not a character flaw. That's stored activation.
Our nervous systems are often holding years of unprocessed stress, undigested emotions, and incomplete survival responses.
Talk therapy
Helps you understand which rocks are in the backpack and where they came from.
Breathwork
Helps you actually put the rocks down.
Creating Space To Feel In Order To Heal
Somatic breathwork uses specific yet simple breathing patterns to:
Regulate your nervous system
Shift from sympathetic activation (fight/flight) or dorsal shutdown (freeze) into a state where your body feels safe enough to process what it's been holding.
Access stored emotions
Bypass your thinking brain and go directly to where trauma and stress live: in your body. Emotions that have been suppressed for years can finally surface, complete, and be released.
Release physical tension
Your body stores stress as tension. Breathwork creates the physiological conditions for that tension to discharge through shaking, heat, tears, sound, or movement.
Rewire automatic responses
When your nervous system learns it can handle intensity without shutting down or exploding, your default reactions start to shift. You become less reactive, more present.
This isn't just relaxation. This is regulation and realization.
Not feeling better for a few hours. Actually changing how your body responds to stress at the physiological level.
Two Types of Breathwork Sessions
Choose the depth that matches where you are
Reset Session
45–60 minutes
A deep breathwork designed to discharge built-up stress and tension from your week, your month, your year.
When to use it:
- After a particularly stressful period
- When you feel disconnected from your body
- Before starting something new (job, relationship, project)
- When you need to let go of something you've been carrying
You leave feeling lighter, clearer, more alive.
$100
Journey Session
90 minutes
A full somatic journey where we go deep. This is where profound emotional release, trauma processing, and nervous system recalibration happen.
When to use it:
- When you're ready to work with old trauma
- After working with psychedelics (Integration)
- When you keep hitting the same pattern and can't break through
- When you're ready to feel what you've been avoiding
Rewires how your nervous system responds to triggering situations.
$125
This is trauma-informed, neuroscience-backed work. Not woo-woo. Not bypassing. Not catharsis for catharsis's sake.

The Training Behind The Work
Soma+IQ Certified Somatic Breathwork Practitioner
I'm a certified Soma+IQ Breathwork practitioner, one of the leading trauma-informed somatic breathwork training programs. Their approach is:
Rooted in neuroscience
Accredited by Arizona State University
Focused on nervous system regulation
Trauma-informed (creating safety, not re-traumatization)
My approach integrates Soma+IQ's breathwork methodology with:
Somatic Parts Work — working with parts that hold trauma
Nervous system regulation — Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing
Plant medicine & psychedelic integration — bridging ceremony insights with embodied change
Breathwork that doesn't just feel good in the moment. Breathwork that actually rewires your nervous system.
Is This Right For You?
This work is for you if:
- You've understood more about your patterns, but still struggle to change them
- You're tired of your body hijacking you when you're triggered
- You want to stop reacting defensively, shutting down, or people-pleasing
- You're ready to actually feel what you've been avoiding
- You want nervous system regulation, not just relaxation
- You've had plant medicine experiences and need help integrating them into daily life
- You want nervous system regulation, not just relaxation
This might not be right if:
- You're not ready to feel difficult emotions (this creates space for what's been stored)
- You're in active crisis (stabilization first, then breathwork)
- You have certain medical conditions (uncontrolled heart conditions, severe asthma, active pregnancy, etc.)
Safety first. Always.
Breathwork is powerful. We work within your capacity. We go at your pace.
What To Expect In A Session
Before
Brief intake to understand what you're working with. Set your intention. Ground and orient to make sure you're in your window of tolerance.
During
Guided breathing patterns with music designed to support nervous system regulation. Space for whatever arises—emotion, sensation, movement, insight. My presence holding the container and supporting your process.
After
Integration time to make sense of what happened. Grounding back into your body. Next steps and practices to take with you.
No experience needed. I'll guide you the entire way.
Not All Breathwork Is The Same
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Relaxation breathwork | Great for daily regulation. Not designed for deep release. |
| Wim Hof method | Focused on cold exposure and breath retention. Different nervous system effects. |
| Holotropic breathwork | Powerful but can be overwhelming for many. |
| Somatic breathwork (Soma+IQ) | Combines nervous system science with trauma-informed practice. Designed to access and release stored stress while embodying your most authentic self. |
