Hello! Sarah, here. I am a breath educator and owner of Slo Breathworks.

I decided to begin facilitating slow and steady breathwork sessions after Covid brought my body to a standstill in 2020 and not-so-gently nudged me to get real about the beliefs and unexpressed emotions that were holding me back.

My facilitation style evolves each and every day, with every collective exhale, breath reset, and breath walk that I guide. Since I was a little nugget, I’ve been one to find the connection between this and that. And, my approach to breathwork faciliation is no different.

I pull from my Sustainability MBA, my years in sustainable food systems and natural food, and ongoing breathwork trainings to foster an introspective, nature-centered approach for Slo Breathworks’ experience.

I came to practice slow breathwork to improve my mental and physical health. I still believe those benefits are amazing. And, I keep on facilitating slow breathwork because of the breath’s sweet reminder of our interconnectedness with the seasons and our impermanence.

My Social Location

It is important to me to name my location because I benefit from (especially as a white cisgender woman) and am harmed by cishetereopatriarchy, white supremacy, and capitalism. My intersecting identities influence how I design and facilitate Slo Breathworks’ explorations.

Your social location too informs how you show up and breathe. Learn more about it here.

I’m a white, cisgender, spiritual woman who lives on the disability spectrum with chronic pain and vision issues, which are interconnected with my anxiety and ongoing recovery from disordered eating. My mental health is mostly stable. I currently live debt-free, rent the roof over my head, and own a car. I hold an MBA in Sustainability, am a U.S. citizen, and I learned English as a first language. I identify as neurotypical but don’t prescribe to the idea that there is a typical way of being.

Values

Kindness - a presence rooted in reliability and respect, the expansive sensation of energy that is encompassed in an inhale, showing up ready to lend a hand in service of humanity, conscientiousness for self, others, and the land.

Beauty - a simple yet stunning quality that encourages you to pause and discover the peace, similar to our breath, it is all around and innate, invisible until you are ready to relish in it.

Curiosity - a sweet holding, a nod to the comforting hold at the exhale’s end, an active listening of what could be, welcoming joyful questions over amorphous answers.

Optimism - a cousin to hope, getting back on the horse after falling from his graces, believing in the next breath, the what ifs, landing among the stars.
