Breathwork and Plant Medicine: A Path to Healing
In today’s fast-paced world, many of us are searching for tools to reconnect with ourselves, our purpose, and the natural rhythms of life. For some, that journey begins with plant medicine, while for others it starts with breathwork. Together, these practices open a pathway toward healing, integration, and self-discovery.
At Fullsend Organicks, we love sharing real stories of transformation. In this feature, we explore how breathwork and ceremony came to life for a woman who now guides others through healing journeys. Her story reveals the power of breath, the importance of integration, and the beauty of holding space with compassion.
A Journey Toward Healing
Like many people, her early life was shaped by perfectionism, achievement, and a lingering feeling of not being enough. Growing up in a small Catholic town, she often felt disconnected from her body and her spirit. Sports and academics masked the truth, but inside there was a deep sense of emptiness.
Years of battling an eating disorder eventually led her to explore spirituality, psychology, and the therapeutic potential of plant medicine. When she finally experienced sacred plants firsthand, everything shifted. For the first time, she felt connected to herself, to the Earth, and to the Divine.
Yet the medicine did not give her anything outside of herself. It simply reminded her of the truth she already carried. This realization sparked her commitment to helping others find the same connection within.
Why Breathwork Matters
Breath is the foundation of life, yet most people move through their days without paying attention to it. Shallow chest breathing creates tension, stress, and fatigue, while deep intentional breath creates space for clarity and release.
On a scientific level, conscious breathing regulates the nervous system, improves oxygen delivery, and even helps release stored emotions. On a spiritual level, the breath acts as a bridge between body and soul, guiding us back to presence and truth.
She describes each inhale as an opportunity to receive vitality, and each exhale as a chance to surrender. Through regular practice, breathwork becomes more than a technique. It becomes a daily rhythm that mirrors life itself.
The Meaning of Holding Space
When she speaks about holding space, she emphasizes that it is never about fixing someone. It is about creating safety, presence, and compassion so that others can explore their own healing.
She draws from both science and spirituality, weaving together knowledge of the nervous system with ritual and intention. Her values center on curiosity, connection, empowerment, and integrity. Above all, she believes in trust—the trust we place in ourselves, in the process, and in the medicine that guides us.
Reconnecting with Nature
Her passion for healing also extends to working with children in natural environments. In a world where many kids spend their days behind screens, she wants to reintroduce the magic of nature. She remembers her own childhood joy of sitting by the creek, and she believes every child should feel that wonder.
By planting seeds of curiosity, she hopes to help the next generation grow into adults who are grounded, resilient, and connected to Mother Earth.
The Three Pillars of Healing
Her approach to healing is guided by three core pillars:
Nervous System and Subconscious Work
True growth requires more than willpower. By addressing the subconscious and calming the nervous system, people can create lasting change.
Plant Medicine
Sacred plants act as a mirror to the subconscious, surfacing old stories and creating space for new ways of being. They do not do the work for us, but they open the doorway.
Integration
Insights only matter if they are embodied. Integration brings new awareness into daily life through journaling, creative practices, nervous system tools, and breathwork.
Together, these three pillars create a cycle of safety, expansion, and lasting transformation.

Looking Ahead: Community and Collaboration
The future of this work is rooted in community. Healing happens in relationship, and many of our deepest wounds come from disconnection. She dreams of building spaces where people feel safe enough to be vulnerable and expansive enough to grow.
Collaboration is also a core part of her vision. She believes that science and spirituality, ancient practices and modern tools, all have a place in the journey of collective healing.
A Message for Beginners
For anyone just starting their healing journey, her advice is simple: follow your curiosity. That gentle pull you feel is your intuition guiding you. Expansion will feel uncomfortable, but on the other side is a version of yourself you never thought possible.
You already carry the medicine within you. The journey is about remembering.
