Experience a deeply restorative blend of Breathwork and Internal Family Systems.

Awaken to your true essence with clarity, curiosity and compassion with the Sacred Breath Method and IFS. A chance to emerge in the New Year feeling lighter and brighter.”

John Cross: I am a certified facilitator trained in “The Sacred Breath Method” and “Elemental Rhythm” breathwork academies.  I offer the medicine of the breath because I know what it’s like to live without it – and how profoundly life-giving it is when it is restored.

Through years of training in martial arts, meditation, and breathwork, my relationship with breathing has been transformed.  It is my joy to serve as a grounded guide for those who feel called to experience this restoration for themselves.  I offer breathwork in retreat centres, group settings, one-on-one sessions, and online.

As each person is unique, responses to breathwork are unique.

You may notice some of the following:

• Warmth, tingling, lightness, or other subtle bodily sensations

• Natural body movements as tension releases

• Temporary tightness or cramping in the hands or jaw — a common and temporary breathwork response, with gentle guidance provided to help ease it if it arises

• Emotional processing or release, sometimes accompanied by feelings of relief, openness, or clarity

You are always in control of your breath and participation and may slow down, pause, or rest at any time.

If you have any questions or would like to talk through whether breathwork is a good fit for you, you’re always welcome to reach out— your comfort and safety truly matter.
