Private Individual Family or Private Group Sessions are available via Zoom. And for people in the Westchester and Fairfield County area, I offer at home sessions for an additional $50 travel fee. Details below. Contact Eliza directly to book.

Parenting today holds many new challenges. The wave of technology and the accompanying flood of information has brought in overstimulation and a heightened sense of chaos.

Adding to this, lives continue to be extremely full and managing all of the moving parts within a family can be incredibly challenging and overwhelming.

Family Breathwork focuses on how we can create more synergy between all the moving parts, along with finding quality time together to nurture the well-being of the family unit as a whole.

Taking the time to breathe together not only helps you each regulate your own nervous system, it also helps you be in sync with each other, inviting more connection and harmony into the family atmosphere, while nurturing the foundational principle that you are all on the same team, working together for the well-being of each individual and the family as a whole.

The family is the first group experience your child will have, and will greatly influence their future group experiences and interactions. Let’s work together to teach them how to create healthy dynamics within themselves and with others.

Topics covered include:

• Breathwork as a tool for self-regulating 

• Prevention and alleviation - being proactive with well-being 

• The link between your nervous system and your child’s

• Creating a healthy sense of self

• Doing the work - teaching your child to show up for themselves and their life

In regard to the age a child is able to participate in the breathing experience, there is no exact formula as each child is unique, however I have found that typically ages 10-12 are when a child is most easily able to start doing the two-part breathing technique.  And 8-10 is when they are able to participate in the group breathing experience by simply being present and laying with the family.

For families with younger children, it is recommended to find a time to learn the technique and experience a breathwork session when the younger child or children are either sleeping or in the care of someone you trust.  Otherwise it will be very distracting for you. Once you know the practice, you can play around with how to include the younger children (I’m happy to share more on this in the preliminary consultation). Children in general, but young children in particular learn how to and regulate their nervous system through yours, so the more you take time to self-regulate, the more your children will benefit, whether they are there with you when you are breathing or not.

Curious, but you have questions and want to make sure this would be a good fit for you and your family?

Another great starting point is for you and your partner, or you and an older child (10 and above recommended), to do a private session and learn about and experience this practice, so you can decide if this can work for you and your family. Booking details right below.

Work With Me:

While I have been working with families and the home environment since I was a teenager, and I have been teaching and sharing about breathwork meditation for almost 15 years, the program I have developed to combine the two is a pilot program. In order to better fine-tune and finesse the content, I am offering half-price family sessions in exchange for a testimony, if the work resonates with you.

Sessions are 2 hours and include information on the topics covered (noted above) and an experience of this breathwork practice, with additional time after the breathing experience for further questions.

Sessions can be done via Zoom or for people in the Westchester and Fairfield County area, I offer at home sessions for an additional $50 travel fee. Prior meeting or reference required.

The regular rate for the Family Breathwork session is $300, which is currently being discounted to $150.

Private Groups are another great option. Gather together a group of your friends interested in learning about and experiencing the practice, and split the costs!

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or if you have interest in setting a session up.

Family Specific Bio:

Family and children have always been a focal point for me.  Born into a family of 4, I started helping out with children at the age of 9 when my younger brother was born. Since then, in various capacities I have worked closely with children and within the family environment, always appreciating the gift of family, while actively supporting bringing cohesiveness to the family dynamic.

Gaining a BS in Dietetics followed by a certification in fitness, studying how to live a healthy lifestyle, complimented my work helping with families.

A move out to California introduced me to breathwork meditation, a practice that taught me the value of working with the nervous system and the intricate connection between the mind, body and spirit.

This practice also taught me about group dynamics and how the experiences early on within our family greatly shapes and influences future group interactions and dynamics with others.

I believe that the more we can help children understand how their body and mind works, and provide them with tools to develop self-awareness and self-regulate, the more likely they are to feel comfortable and confident with who they are.

Weaving my knowledge of wellness & life-style with my knowledge of the family dynamic, the intention with family breathwork is to help families find cohesiveness, harmony, and a foundation of love and safety within the home.

Since 2010, I have trained and studied extensively with David Elliott, a pioneer in the breathwork/healing field and I am qualified to teach his Breathwork Healer Training 1.
