Breathing and Grieving
Breath-based integrative grief care for regulation, release, and reconnection.
Grief moves in waves—and so do we. In my practice, breath work isn’t a tool for “fixing” grief. It’s an invitation to be with it—in your body, gently and steadily, breath by breath.
In Traditional East Asian Medicine (TEAM), grief is associated with the Lungs. Breath is the gateway to the Lungs and to presence—connecting body, emotion, and spirit.
This offering is for anyone carrying heartbreak, loss, change, or uncertainty—whether your grief is fresh, buried, ancestral, or mysterious.
What to Expect
A slow, spacious practice to soften the armour around grief
Gentle breath techniques to stay present without overwhelm
Options for stillness, movement, sound, or quiet tears
Time to rest, reflect, and integrate
This is not performance breathwork. This is breath as ritual. Breath as prayer. Breath as space.

What Others Have Said
“Lamia made it safe for me to fall apart without having to explain myself.”
“I didn’t know grief could move this quietly. Or this powerfully.”
