Discover the Power of SOMATIC BREATHWORK WITH IVY BROTHERTON

 "For years I battled chronic stress, anxiety, PTSD and various health complications from eating disorders.  I believed I was beyond help and there was nothing I could do to mitigate the stress response. 

In 2017 I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training.  It was a 6 month rigorous course, which left me more depleted and stressed than when I had began. 

I learned about pranayana (breath control) and breathwork in my training, and felt a strong internal nudge to start practicing.  

I woke up early one Friday morning in 2017 and started what became a daily practice of  breathwork and meditation. 

Breathwork has been the catalyst to enable my nervous system to TURN OFF the stress response, and slowly over time I noticed  a reduction in my POTS symptoms, I even noticed my digestive distress was improved! The best part was my ability to handle stress increased exponentially and I saw a reduction in PTSD symptoms. 

Combining breathwork,  pranayama, and journaling with mediation has been powerful medicine.  

Coming home to my breath allowed  me to come home to my truth. 

Now I hope to gift you with a similar healing experience by helping you connect more deeply to your body's natural healing mechanism, the breath."

 Reiki is an alternative medicine technique that began in ancient Japan. Reiki uses healing energy that is channeled from the Reiki therapist to the patient with the goal of reducing stress, pain, and fatigue while enhancing energy. Reiki can resolve emotional blockages, help resolve grief and increase connection to spirituality.  Ivy will be able to offer Reiki sessions in April 2025.
