Chinese herbs
x breathwork
Breathwork holds such potent potential. It's a tool of many facets, each offering a unique pathway to your desired outcome. Similarly, it is with Chinese herbs. This realization dawned upon my dear friend and Chinese medicine doctor, Patricia Ramirez Berglund, as we shared a coffee one morning.
Inspired by this connection, we've crafted an offering where the power of Chinese herbal blends intertwines with breathwork. We have paired four different breathwork classes with four unique herbal blends that enhance the effect of the breathing.
Short about breathwork
Breathwork is a type of active meditation and a collective term for a variety of breathing exercises and techniques aimed at enhancing mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Common to all exercises is that you intentionally influence and alter your breathing pattern.
Examples of the effects of breathwork:
Increased focus and ability to be present
Improved ability to experience relaxation
Clearing your mind and body of blocked energy
Better ability to manage stress, worry, and anxiety
Easier to relax and fall asleep
Boosted immune system
Improved digestion

Chinese medicine
Chinese medicine, an ancient practice with deep roots in tradition, offers a holistic approach to health and well-being. Drawing from principles of harmony and balance of yin and yang, Chinese medicine encompasses a range of modalities including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, manual therapy and qigong. Treatments are tailored to the individual, addressing not only physical symptoms but also the underlying root imbalance in order to come to health. Whether seeking relief from pain, managing chronic conditions, enhancing overall vitality, Chinese medicine provides a comprehensive framework for deep healing, balance and rejuvenation.
