IFS + Rebirthing Breathwork
-
Spiritual Purification
When we breathe, we take in air, but we also take on Prana or Chi energy and with the Rebirthing style breath, those energy levels will increase to such a level that the force of energy will start to push out any blockages. Releases and changes can also happen through great insights, freedom of physical limitations and eventually awaken to our true essence beyond any form of identity.
-
Restore Nervous System Balance
Rebirthing Breathwork facilitates profound relaxation, one of its key benefits, by activating the parasympathetic nervous system. This activation brings about a state of balance and restoration within the nervous system. The process involved in Rebirthing Breathwork supports the nervous system in resetting, retraining, and healing itself by effectively discharging tension.
-
Inner Child Healing
This part of one's psyche, known as the "inner child," holds emotions, memories, and experiences from one's formative years. Inner child healing aims to address unresolved trauma, unmet needs, and suppressed emotions that originated in childhood and continue to impact adult behavior and emotional well-being.
-
Improves Mood and Self-Esteem
Breathwork induces relaxation and reduces stress by activating the body's parasympathetic nervous system. This biological response helps lower anxiety levels, creating a sense of calm and well-being that can have a positive impact on one's self-esteem. The practice of conscious breathing has been shown to not only lower anxiety levels but also improve overall mood and enhance well-being, further contributing to a healthier self-regulation and self-perception.
-
Trauma Healing
Trauma is not just what happened to us, it’s what we hold inside in response to overwhelming experiences we couldn’t fully process at the time. When we face intense fear, pain, or disconnection, the body goes into survival mode, and unprocessed emotions get stored in our nervous system, tissues, and subconscious mind. These emotional imprints can create internalized beliefs, protective patterns, and energetic blockages that limit our ability to feel safe, connected, and fully alive. Even long after the event, trauma can shape our thoughts, behaviors, and relationships.
-
Release Emotional Blockages
Emotional blockages occur when unresolved emotions such as fear, anger, sadness, or guilt become trapped within the mind or body. These suppressed emotions can act as barriers, preventing a free flow of energy and leaving individuals feeling stagnant or "stuck" in certain aspects of life.
What is Internal Family System (IFS):
Internal Family System (IFS) is a compassionate and empowering psychotherapeutic model based on the understanding that the mind is naturally multiple. Within each of us are “parts”, which are inner sub-personalities shaped by our experiences. Some carry wounds from the past (exiles), while others try to protect us from further pain (protectors).
Rather than pathologizing these inner voices, IFS honors them. At the core of every individual is the Self, a calm, curious, and wise presence that can compassionately witness, hold, and heal the pain of our parts. IFS therapists recognize that healing happens not by fixing, but by listening and integrating.
What is Rebirthing Breathwork:
Rebirthing Breathwork is a powerful and intuitive breath-based healing practice that uses conscious connected breathing to access the subconscious mind and release suppressed emotions, energetic blocks, and cellular trauma. Through breath, we return to the body’s innate rhythm, bypassing the mind’s defenses and tapping into the source of our aliveness. This technique often evokes deep emotional release and spiritual reconnection.
Why Integrate IFS + Rebirthing Breathwork
At the core of our being lies Source, The Infinite, or Oneness — however you define it. Unfortunately, layers of trauma, conditioning, belief systems, and limitations prevent us from fully living in harmony with this divine essence. Traditionally, releasing these layers might take lifetimes, but Rebirthing Breathwork is a fast track to cleansing, connecting, and awakening your spirit.
While IFS brings deep insight, clarity, and relational healing to the inner world, Rebirthing Breathwork invites that healing to move through the body, release trauma somatically, and reconnect us to the Oneness.
Many of us know our wounds cognitively, but still carry pain in our bodies. By combining these two powerful modalities, we access both the emotional narratives and the energetic imprints to allow for full-spectrum healing.

Yes. Rebirthing Breathwork helps bring repressed emotions and trauma-related memories to the surface.

In many ways, yes. Rebirthing Breathwork can create altered states of consciousness that reduce rigid thought loops and encourage insight. Like deep meditation or psychedelic therapy, it can disrupt old neural patterns and help form new ones through direct experience and integration.
-
No, you will not lose consciousness. Rebirthing Breathwork may lead to altered states of awareness, emotional release, or deep meditative experiences, but you remain fully conscious and in control throughout the session. These altered states can feel dreamlike or expanded, but they are part of the therapeutic process that allows for emotional integration and neural rewiring.
-
Yes, Rebirthing Breathwork is generally safe when practiced with a trained facilitator in a supportive environment. However, because it can bring up intense emotions or physical sensations, it’s important to go at your own pace. People with certain medical or psychological conditions (such as severe cardiovascular issues, epilepsy, or a history of psychosis) should consult with a healthcare provider before starting breathwork. When guided responsibly, it can be a powerful and healing experience.
Deep inside there is a place for joy and peace. You deserve to find them in you.
