HI, my name is blake
I am a breathwork facilitator, trauma teacher, grief worker, ceremonialist, and mentor.
I hold space for what is tender, tangled, and true—for the parts of us that long to be felt, heard, and honored.
This work is not about fixing. It’s about presence.
It’s about remembering what we already carry.
It’s about creating space to breathe into what’s here—with care, curiosity, and reverence.
My path has been shaped by personal loss, ancestral healing, and a deep relationship with the breath as a guide. I’ve had the honor of studying breathwork with David Elliott and Michael Brian Baker, and deepening into earth-based wisdom through an herbalism apprenticeship with Yaya Erin Rivera and deepened into the study of trauma and the soul through Pacifica Graduate Institute’s trauma studies program. My current teachers, Eve Bradford and Luis Mojica, continue to inform how I listen, relate, and hold.
My grief work is deeply informed by the teachings of Laurence Cole, an elder grief tender, and my time supporting individuals through grief as a facilitator with Circles, a community-based grief support organization. These experiences continue to teach me how to hold sorrow with reverence and make space for what cannot be rushed.
In addition to facilitating spaces for healing and integration, I also walk alongside those in service—mentoring others who are called to hold space themselves. Whether you're moving through your own process or supporting others in theirs, I offer a place to land.
I work with people one-on-one and in groups, offering spaces where breath, grief, and mystery are welcomed as teachers. We move slowly. We follow what arises. We honor the wisdom of the body.
You don’t need to be in crisis to come here.
You only need to be willing to listen.
If you feel the pull, you’re welcome.
For the seekers, the tender-hearted, the space holders, and those learning to breathe again—this is a place for you.
I support you in tending to what’s already within you—your breath, your beauty, your belonging—offering a soft landing for what longs to be heard, held, and expressed.
WHAT IS BREATHWORK?
Breathwork is a powerful and ancient healing modality that at its core allows us to sink deeply into our body and become intimate with the emotional and physical sensations that we are holding in our muscular and nervous system. Breathwork is literally working with the breath to move energy and release old patterning so that we can be more in touch with our natural & primal being. There are an infinite amount of breath patterns that one can work with and each pattern can unlock and work with a different space and place in the body.
In my sessions, I integrate several breath patterns and body movements that I’ve learned in my 8 years of self cultivation and practice. Together we work with both breath and the emotions that arise in your session and merge the emotional/feeling body with the physical breathing body. In the marrying of these two bodies, I will be your guide towards harmonizing these experiences and bringing awareness to the places where you may be holding outdated & toxic stories. Working with and bringing awareness to these stories is where (I believe) the transformation occurs and the breath is what guides us there.
