How Can Breathwork Help?
A regular breathwork practice has the power to rewire neural pathways and support you in connecting to your authentic self. Increasing self-awareness can help you become more present, break damaging cycles, shift reactionary patterns, and overcome unhelpful habits. It requires self-compassion, self-acceptance and self-responsibility. We work together to strengthen your relationship with yourself, your family, and those around you, connecting you more deeply with living your life with integrity and authenticity. Breathwork can offer numerous additional health benefits, including toxin release, improved immune function, increased lung capacity, anxiety reduction, and relief from depression.
What past attendees have said about Rooted Breathwork Circles…
“A powerful experience to connect to the body and dwell in it more deeply. Unique and transformative”
“Emerald’s Breathwork Circle opened up a space where I could set aside space for myself to learn and heal in spaces I didn’t realize existed and needed healed.”
“I walked away feeling like a piece of my heart was healed and at peace.”
Why am I offering Circles?
In a world that ceaselessly marches forward, urging us to be relentlessly "productive," we must grant ourselves the grace to connect, to treasure our worth, and to nourish our spirits. This is a sacred space, like the hush of the forest at twilight, where we consciously choose to pause, to embrace self-discovery, and to welcome self-care as gently as a spring breeze.
People have gathered in circles for millennia, across many ancient cultures worldwide. Much like their origins, Rooted Breathwork Circles are a space to share resource, wisdom, stories, to witness and be seen.
Over the years, we have lost the experience of healing and wholing in community. I believe it takes a village and I want to be part of remembering how, in supporting our fellow neighbors, peers and friends, we also support ourselves, and there is a positive effect that ripples out into the community. I use practices from restorative justice and my celtic lineage.
Let's carve out this sacred space, not only for ourselves but also for the well-being of our community.

What is Conscious Connected Breathwork?
Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB), also known as rebirthing breathwork, offers a secure and gentle path to reconnect with your breath consciously and rhythmically, without interruptions. You are lovingly guided with music and voice and encouraged to remain in embodied consent with how deep you are wanting to breathe. Through CCB, you discover the power to regulate your nervous system and willingly enter altered states of consciousness, almost like exploring non-ordinary realities.
Why consider Conscious Connected Breathwork?
As children, we aren't typically taught how to embrace our emotions in a fully embodied way, leaving these experiences trapped within our bodies. The result? Blocked energy that manifests as physical, emotional, and mental distress, along with a sense of disconnection from both ourselves and others. CCB serves as a transformative gateway to safely navigate and integrate your inner emotional landscapes, release pent-up tension, and access deep pleasure, all while reconnecting with your unique sense of wholeness.
The Journey with Conscious Connected Breathwork
Conscious Connected Breathing focuses on diaphragmatic breath, utilizing your entire lung capacity. It provides crucial support to your nervous system and allows your emotional and physical self to complete its natural stress response cycle. It's common to experience intense emotions during a breathwork session, and in this space, I offer compassion and non-judgmental support, inviting you to surrender to your experience fully. I am trauma-informed, which means I have taken additional trainings in learning how to support clients experiencing trauma responses in the moment. I am not a trauma therapist or a trauma coach. If you know you have experienced trauma and are currently working through trauma, please consult your therapist/practitioner and reach out to me to discuss your suitability for this circle.
Who is Emerald May?
Emerald May is an international, certified breathwork & intimacy coach, driven by a deep commitment to self-discovery, empowerment, and transformation. She centers her work on guiding individuals and parents to live a more authentic, connected and pleasure-filled life.
Like many of us, I am in a life-long un-learning around dismantling patriarchal, capitalist, colonial and racist culture and will hold space for you to the best of my ability having awareness of my privileged lived experience. I appreciate your feedback if you feel I am able to do better. Please be aware that during breathwork, past traumas may surface into your awareness. If you feel you need more support prior to the circles or afterwards, please reach out and we can discuss if I am the right person to support you, or I may refer you to someone else.
Please note that breathwork is not a substitute for consulting your medical or alternative healthcare provider. By joining you consent to taking full responsibility for your own health and well-being and will be required to *sign a consent waiver prior to the breathe.
I look forward to welcoming you home.
