Mind Body Healing Collective offers a monthly trauma-informed breathwork class as part of our integrative services designed to support whole-body healing. Led by licensed psychologist and certified breathwork facilitator Amy Bjorkman, PhD, this experience is grounded in nervous system–informed care and supports healing from the effects of stress and trauma.

Breathwork is a powerful somatic practice that supports reconnection with the body, calming of the mind, and gentle release of stored tension through intentional breathing.

Who This Class Is For

This monthly class is open to adults seeking a supportive, integrative practice to enhance mental, emotional, and physical well-being. It may be especially helpful for individuals who:

• Feel overwhelmed, stressed, or emotionally depleted
• Experience nervous system dysregulation or difficulty settling
• Feel stuck or disconnected from their body
• Are interested in trauma-informed, non-verbal healing practices
• Want a complementary experience alongside therapy or personal healing work

No prior breathwork experience is required.

What You May Gain

Participants often report that trauma-informed breathwork supports:

• Nervous system regulation and reduced stress or overwhelm
• Increased emotional awareness and resilience
• A sense of grounding and internal calm
• Gentle release of physical or emotional tension
• Greater connection to self and inner experience

This class is designed as a supportive, educational experience and is not a substitute for psychotherapy or medical care.

How This Class Fits Into Healing Work

Breathwork is a somatic modality that can complement trauma therapy, EMDR, and other nervous system–informed approaches. This monthly class is designed to stand alone while also supporting individuals engaged in ongoing therapeutic or wellness work.

What to Expect

This 90-minute guided experience includes:

• Gentle movement to release tension and prepare the body
• A 30-minute guided breathwork session aligned with the five elements — Earth, Wind, Air, Fire, and Ether — supported by dynamic music

• An optional reflective sharing circle for connection and processing

All components emphasize choice, safety, and self-pacing.

• Yoga mat
