Breathwork goes beyond your logical mind, allowing you to release emotions and gain insights that talk therapy alone can't reach.

When you join me, you’ll move through the emotions stored in your body with the most natural thing - breath. You’ll gain emotional healing and connect to the awe and wonder of life.

And you’ll experience a safe environment with an experienced breathwork facilitator who has done their own healing work, and created a joyful life by moving through the darkness.

Why Choose Dre as your Breathwork Practitioner?

My own experiences healing and overcoming trauma inform the work we do together. I am a survivor of domestic violence, breast cancer, and a learned belief system placed upon me by society.

As an HSP (Highly Sensitive Person), I needed to learn how to manage other people’s emotions and energy—not absorb it—as it was affecting my everyday life. I also needed to heal from a lifetime of hustle culture. 

Through desperation, after having tried everything else, I found breathwork.

I believe breathwork saved me, and helped me live a happier, healthy life.

Breathwork is a different experience every time, ranging from joy to sorrow. Personally, I find it to be perfect every time. Exactly what I need in that moment to continue upon my healing journey.

My clients love that I bring 20+ years of breathwork experience to every session. Since many of them have found traditional therapy to be too surface-level, they appreciate that I specialize in both breathwork and depth work (shadow work). I can help you go deeper and experience real, lasting change.

I’ll be your compassionate guide who can help you walk the path to profound healing and personal growth.

Kind Words from Clients

  • "Having never experienced breathwork before, I was surprised at how calming and healing my session felt.

    Dre created a safe space and I felt completely at ease.

    During the session, I felt waves of energy flowing through my body and felt emotions surface that I didn't realize were taking up such a large space in my subconscious. Dre was there with a gentle touch to help ground me when I needed it.

    In the days and weeks after my session, I gained more and more clarity on the things that emerged for me and have been able to integrate that clarity into my daily life.

    Dre's kindness and caring made this an incredibly special experience, and I recommend her breathwork sessions wholeheartedly!”

    -Nancy G.

  • "Dre is a gifted healer and breath worker, and I wholeheartedly recommend working with her if you want to explore a new path for healing. 

    I've tried (and failed) to start a meditation practice for years. When I told Dre about how I judged myself for being unable to sit still and clear my mind, she suggested that breathwork might be a better avenue for me.

    My curiosity was piqued, and I invited Dre to facilitate a breathwork session at a retreat I was hosting so I could experience her magic firsthand.

    Dre's facilitation style was structured, compassionate, gentle, and fierce. It's a combination I haven't experienced with anyone else. Dre's gifts as an intuitive healer were on full display as she connected with each group member while creating a shared breathwork experience for all of us together.

    Her guidance quieted my fears and self-doubt, allowing me to fully surrender to the breath and open myself to new levels of consciousness. After the session, she offered just enough processing to help me integrate my experience deeply into my body without over-intellectualizing or getting lost in my thoughts.

    -Maegan M.

  • "This was my first experience doing Breathwork and Dre created a safe, calming space for our group.

    With her calm and clear guidance, I felt safe letting go and allowing my physical and emotional sensations to flow, without judging them or feeling self-conscious.

    I especially appreciated the debriefing Dre took us through after, and her support in helping us process and make meaning from our individual experiences and our experiences together as a group.”

    -LaRae J.

  • "Dre's tender, solid facilitation helped me to feel safe to let go and just be. A profound gift!

    During a weekend retreat, I had the opportunity to experience the magic of Dre’s breathwork circle.

    She cultivated a serene, cozy, safe environment outdoors and guided us into the process. She first allowed us to draw an oracle card and reflect on an intention for our breathwork.

    I've experienced many powerful breathwork experiences, but with Dre's facilitation, I dropped into a deep altered state. In this state, I could release responsibility for the experiences of those around me while still feeling connected; this provided me space to witness and make connections to my process, a significant insight for me.

    We then processed the breathwork experience and integrated the oracle card we had chosen at the beginning of the circle. I was stunned by how profoundly connected my card was to the insights that emerged for me in the process. It became a talisman for my path forward.”

    -Annie R.

Breathwork Services FAQ

  • When we meet for your first breathwork session, we’ll start easy and at a comfortable pace.

    I like to get to know you a little bit and hear about what you hope to get out of our time together. I’ll also inquire about your past experiences in healing and you can share whatever you’re comfortable with.

    Next, I’ll begin teaching you the breathwork technique. I can teach you about its history and uses to help ground your practice. This is important for developing trust in the process.

    After instruction, we’ll complete 1-3 rounds of breathwork together, and finish up with discussion and integration.

    By the end of the session, most clients feel palpable relief and relaxation.

  • Breathwork is not a spiritual practice, despite its popular use in spiritual circles.

    There is no dogma and no new beliefs to adopt. It’s just using something you’re already familiar with - your breath - to access and release pain and trauma.

    Breathwork can be used with and without other spiritual teachings. It’s versatile and has helped all kinds of people, whether secular, religious, or spiritual.

    Of course, you may have deep experiences during and after breathwork which some may call spiritual, but that’s subjective and should not deter anyone who wants healing.

  • Breathwork is not a recognized form of psychotherapy. That’s why I wasn’t able to offer it to my psychotherapy clients despite wanting to do so.

    Thankfully I can offer breathwork sessions in my capacity as a breathwork facilitator and intuitive coach in the Los Angeles area.

    Breathwork goes deeper than many therapies I’ve used over the years, and produces faster and deeper changes.

    If you want to go beyond the surface level and reach healing you’d only imagined, breathwork is the best way I’ve found to do it.

  • As a breathwork facilitator, I coach individuals and groups to use breathwork for healing.

    Drawing on over 20 years of experience in mental health and the Healing Arts, I use breathwork to guide, teach, and create safety for my clients. 

    Sadly, society doesn’t teach us how to heal ourselves. That’s why I’m so passionate about helping folx heal and overcome pain and trauma!

    I also help clients move at a comfortable pace so they’re not overwhelmed by the emotions breathwork can stir up.

  • I specialize in working with folx aged 40-60 who are on a journey of self-discovery. But/and all folx are welcomed.

    You may be seeking a deeper, more holistic approach to healing, and know that traditional therapy didn’t produce the healing you hoped for.

    I love working with folx who are ready to break free from limiting beliefs and societal expectations, and explore their inner landscape with compassion and curiosity.

    If that sounds like you, I would love to work with you.
