Transformational Breathwork
Breathwork is an experience rooted in wholeness. It is a powerful healing modality that uses the breath to release old patterns, clear stagnant energy, and restore balance in the body. Practicing in a group setting—whether in person or on Zoom—creates a collective healing energy that facilitates deep transformation.
The breathwork style Neelou facilitates is a three-part breath—two inhales, followed by an exhale. Simple yet profoundly effective, it helps restore the natural flow of Qi, oxygenating areas of the body that need attention. This practice supports the release of energetic blockages, past trauma, stress, and stagnation, allowing energy to move freely.
The health benefits of breathwork are truly transformational:
• Boosts circulation
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Creates feelings of openness and clarity
• Deepens connection to love, peace, gratitude, and communication
• Supports the release of mental and physical trauma
• Assists in healing from grief
• Promotes emotional regulation and nervous system balance
IMPORTANT • PLEASE BE ON TIME • WE WILL BEGIN PROMPTLY
🌞 Important: Breathwork is best experienced on an empty stomach, so please avoid eating beforehand.
🧘🏽♀️ What to Bring: Please arrive with a yoga mat, journal, pen, and anything else that helps you feel comfortable—such as an eye cover, blanket, or water bottle.
🐣 After Your Session: Please give yourself a little space after this session. It's best not to rush, drive, or be around a lot of people in the hours following your breathwork session. If possible, take it easy for the remainder of the evening. Drink LOTS of water to support your body's release and integration.
❌ No cancellations or recordings will be provided.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
I took Neelou’s group breathwork session on Saturday; because I’d been working through some difficult family situations that lead to significant stress and sleeplessness. Talking about the past and present problems wasn’t easy. However, I had heard that breathwork was a way to work though issues subconsciously.
-Tammy S.
During the session I saw painful moments from my childhood and young adult life flash before my eyes and subsequently shatter. This was important to me because those moments were among many that lead up to my current stressors. This experience was followed by a period of complete relaxation. For the remainder of the day I felt at ease. I also slept well for the first night in weeks. I would highly recommend Neelou‘s breathwork sessions to anyone considering the practice.
-Sam A.
I’m v. skeptical of spiritual things but I love breathwork with Neelou. A friend gifted me a session and it was transformative. I felt some big shifts in my body and my mind. -AnonymousThis was an actual phsyical release. Very surprised to feel so many sensations in my body and have such peace in my brain. Highly recommend.
-Luis B.
Even though the group session was remote I still found it extremely personal. Neelou offered guidance and feedback the whole time. Everything from the music selection to her energy was incredibly soothing.
-Anonymous
Neelou guided my boyfriend and me through a breathwork session during a painful moment of transition in our lives. She prepped us thoroughly for the experience and I felt fully supported and embraced by her empathy, intuition and care. Sharing any sort of space with Neelou (even via zoom!) is a dream.
-Cheryl W.
I have not heard or done breathwork until Neelou introduced it to me. My experience was nothing short of amazing! I have to admit I was bit nervous to try it because I’ve heard that everyone will have a different experience depending on what you are currently holding on to consciously and subconsciously. I was so relaxed during the work, I felt as if my body was floating, a sense of peace and calm skimmed through my body. I came out of it with increased mental awareness and clarity, which lasted about week. If you’ve never done breathwork give it a go.
-Shereen M.
The breathwork was my first experience of that kind and I still find it hard to put into words. With Neelou's guidance, I was able to tap into some super buried emotions. That release was the most powerful thing I have ever felt. I cried then I laughed and smiled and glowed all day long after. It was so amazing that I gifted it to a friend.
-Mel H.
I have practiced breathwork with Neelou a handful of times, in both individual and group settings. I have come away from each session feeling invigorated and reenergized while also very grounded and relaxed. It has been a key component in my physical, mental and spiritual well-being. It is quite euphoric and I have experienced clarity both during and after each practice. The work itself is a bit difficult to describe but I learned many years ago to “trust the process” and I’m so glad that I did with respect to breathwork.
-JR R.
Neelou, thank you for sharing your light with me and for this powerful breath work session. It was absolute medicine for me and releasing in the most beautiful ways! You were an amazing guide and I felt so completely seen and held. A beautiful gift to myself. GIFT THIS TO YOURSELF!!! YOU DESERVE IT! YES, YOU!!-D.S.I find these sessions to be transformative and therapeutic, Neelou has such a calming energy and leads with grace and ease. I have done private and group sessions, both were amazing experiences that I highly recommend.
