Our broader mission is to create a protocol that is accessible to women everywhere and creates positive transformation in women’s lives. We envision a world where women are more attuned to their own wisdom and possess the tools to lead lives filled with vitality and purpose.
Join us in creating a legacy of positive change.
Spaces are limited, so we encourage you to join us today. Together, let’s unlock a new era of flourishing for women everywhere. Awww yeah!

The breathwork is a nice anchor to ground me and force a pause in the busy day. It’s fun to feel the immediate change in my body!
I can feel a shift in my state almost immediately. I have a better sense of presence.
It has been a positive experience and being in a group makes the routine stick much better and faster.
Now I have something to do when I have a few minutes between meetings, etc. 😉
I love the reminder to pause…I look forward to carving out the time every day.
I can (now) use breath work to help calm my mind.
After an argument with my husband, I used the practice to expel some of the negative energy and felt way more calm and able to deal after.
I usually do the breath work first thing in the morning and have noticed that I feel tired/sluggish beforehand and feel more energized and ready to start my day afterward.
Overall, I have felt more spacious in my body. Grounded and clear in my mind.
I feel more connected, am able to anchor and self-regulate more fluidly.
I feel a lift from my brain, much quieter and calmer.
I noticed a sense of peace right from the beginning. It feels both grounding/relaxing and increases my alertness.
