Michelle Raines is a certified breath guide who empowers others to harness the power of breath, helping to instill a profound sense of inner peace, tranquility, and self-confidence, enabling them to manage anxiety and lead more fulfilling, joyful lives, one breath at a time.

Michelle joins us today to share her personal journey to breathwork, what it means to “drop into the body,” the physical and mental benefits of breathwork, and how breathwork can help us explore new or avoided feelings within us and enables us to “just be” in a constantly hustling world. We discuss the transformative power of sitting with discomfort, and the significance of showing up. We discuss how emotional balance and regulation plays a pivotal role in health and fitness, how emotional eating often hides deeper issues that need addressing. We talk about how healing is work - it doesn’t just happen - and how allowing the space to feel and express our emotions freely is crucial for our overall wellbeing.

"We can search our entire lives trying to externally fix an internal problem.”

- Michelle Raines

“I give them full permission. Stay in it. Be in it. You are so safe.”

- Michelle Raines
