What Is Transformational Breath?Transformational Breath is a guided practice that uses a specific breathing pattern to help regulate the nervous system, release tension, and create space for emotions and insights to emerge. Sessions move at the pace of your nervous system.
Using a full, connected breath pattern, we work with the breath as a tool to shift energy, release blocked emotions, and bring more clarity and vitality into your life. It’s simple, powerful, and highly effective.
This modality is different from many other breathwork practices in that it uses bodywork (touch), physical body movement, and making sound as methods to help in the movement of stuck energy.
I offer one-on-one and small group breathwork sessions near Keene, New Hampshire.
Note: I plan to resume small group classes in early fall. If you are interested, please reach out and let me know via my contact form, and I can add you to my mailing list when class resumes.
What Happens in a Session?
Sessions typically last about 75 minutes and involves a few stages:
1: Welcome + IntentionWe begin with a short conversation to check in, explore what you’re working with, and set an intention for your session.
2: Breath AssessmentYou lie down comfortably, and we observe your natural breath to identify any patterns or areas of restriction.
3: Active BreathingWe guide you into a continuous connected breathing pattern. Music, physical touch, making sounds, and/or body movement can be used to help support opening the breath and deepening the process. Emotions or memories might arise—this is welcome and supported. We will move at the pace of your body.
4: Rest + IntegrationAfter the active breathing phase, will be a period of meditative rest. This is often a state of deep calm, where the body and mind begin to integrate what moved in the session.
5: ClosingWe’ll take a moment to ground, reflect, and talk through anything that came up. You’ll likely leave feeling clearer, lighter, and more in tune with yourself.
A Few Additional Notes:
You remain in control throughout the session— Nothing is forced, and we work at the pace of your nervous system.
No previous breathwork experience is needed.
Wear comfy non-restrictive clothes and avoid eating right before a session.
“Tonks is an incredibly intuitive, gifted breathwork facilitator.
I’ve been fortunate to work with Tonks both in person and online and have found that over repeated sessions there have been large emotional releases and integration, particularly of childhood trauma and repressed anger that had been stuck in my body.
I find myself feeling free and grounded after our sessions.”
Breathwork Client"I came in carrying a level of stress and emotional tension that I had normalized for years. During the session I felt surprisingly safe to let go, and afterwards there was a sense of spaciousness I hadn't experienced in a long time. Tonks has a calm, grounded presence that made it easy to trust the process."
Breathwork Client"Tonks created a space where I felt completely at ease. The breathwork was powerful, grounding, and left me with a lasting sense of clarity and calm."
