It began with searching for a way back to my center.
I didn’t find it in my calling, I breathed it into my life.
I believe awareness and Inner Work can change everything.

For a long time, I felt caught between who I was and who I wanted to be.
I did the work — therapy, meditation, wellness retreats — until I finally became still, and truly listened to my body. That is when I found the power of intentional breathing, and the practice of the Art of Jin Shin. Through gentle breath-work, Jin Shin, and guided inner work, we help people notice what's true within them, use the breath as a bridge to calm and clarity, align with their own values, and carry that shift outward into their relationships, work, and daily life.

As a Wellness Coach, Certified Jin Shin Practitioner, and a Goldsmith, true transformation requires three things:
a practice that grounds you (breath-work), a path that guides you (Jin Shin), and a craft that adorns you (jewelry). At My36breaths, we work from The Open Hand Method and one principle: As within, So without. The state of your inner world — your nervous system, your beliefs, your sense of purpose — shapes the outer world you build,
One Breath at a Time.

AS WITHIN, SO WITHOUT
This a simple truth at its core: your inner world — your thoughts, your nervous system, your beliefs about yourself — is not separate from your outer world. It is the blueprint for it. The relationships you attract, the work you build, the way you show up for your kids, your clients, and yourself: all of it is shaped first on the inside. For most people, this shows up backwards. They try to change their outer life — a new job, a new routine, a new habit — without ever touching the inner state that keeps recreating the old results. Inner work reverses that order. It starts with the breath, because the breath is the one place where body, mind, and spirit are always in direct contact, and it is always available, in any moment, to anyone.

Why This Work Matters Now:
People come to this work stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected — not because they lack effort, but because they've been taught to manage their outer life while ignoring their inner one. Add a world that is changing faster than ever, where AI and constant demands make people feel like they no longer fit, and the disconnection deepens. Families feel it. Teenagers feel it. Business owners feel it. The promise of inner work is not escape from that world — it's the capacity to meet it. When someone learns to regulate their own nervous system, name what's true for them, and act from that truth instead of from stress or fear, they stop being at the mercy of their circumstances. They become the source of their own stability. That is what makes change durable instead of temporary.
