WHAT IS SOMATIC BREATHWORK
Your nervous system is the electrical network of your being. Over time, unresolved trauma or chronic stress causes dysregulation of this network.
When dysregulated, difficulties in your personal or professional life arise. When you heal trauma and stress, you heal the electrical network of your nervous system. When you heal the nervous system, you heal the emotional self so your authentic self can emerge.
Somatic Breathwork is an embodiment experience. It takes you out of your thinking mind and into your body's electrical network. It lets you release unneeded energy within this network caused by repeating thoughts, feelings, and old narratives by discharging it out through your body.
Somatic Breathwork employs circular connected breathing coupled with rhythmic music to produce a cathartic emotional release.
This release may be in the form of moving, shaking, yelling, crying, or laughing. Using the breath, you will engage your innate ability to heal and sweep out any defenses, blockages, restrictions, or pains that hold you back from who you are and how you want to show up in this world.
TRAUMA IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU, ITS WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE OF YOU AS A RESULT OF WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.

UNDERSTANDING
OF TRAUMA
TRAUMA IS NOT THE ACTUAL
“INCIDENT” THAT HAPPENS TO US
Is a subjective experience; meaning that what is traumatic to me might not be traumatic to you.
The actual "trauma" is the response from within our being during the event.
It is really a "trauma response."
These responses are known as instinctual defense mechanisms called FIGHT, FLIGHT, FREEZE.
They are an intelligent responses from our nervous system designed to protect us from feeling this traumatic event.
At first these defense system helps us during the situation to cope in the moment but over time it numbs us to our own sensitivity, creativity, and intuition.
Numbness is an active process. Meaning that it drains our nervous system energy to maintain our state of being "Numb."

Sharifs presence was grounding and welcoming. I truly appreciated the way he carried himself throughout the entire session. From start to finish, sharif's energy felt genuine.. Sharif held space for me after the session by asking me to share whatever I felt comfortable with, which was easy for me to do because of his grounding and support from start to finish.
Sharif was professional, calm, knowledgable, and confident. He had great volume and matched with the tone of the music. Sharif was welcoming and present with guiding the post integration process.
I enjoyed our session and look forward to doing it again soon.
Sharif’s presence was kind, grounding, open heated, surreal and sacred . He made me feel very safe. Absolutely, I felt heard and seen and so supported by Sharif, Thank you so much! So grateful .
