Meet Brendon:

My journey into the transformative world of breathwork began amidst my battle with high stress and anxiety, leading me to the vibrant landscapes of Bali in search of healing. It was there that I first discovered the profound impact of breathwork and sound healing, setting me on a path towards emotional clarity and stability. Despite my progress, a life-altering scare in the form of a phantom heart attack—a stark manifestation of my stress—served as a critical wake-up call. This incident underscored the necessity of abandoning toxic patterns, reinforcing my commitment to personal well-being. Today, as a Certified Breathwork Coach, I combine my personal experiences and professional expertise in sound editing to create immersive sound journeys that enhance transformative breathing techniques. My approach is unique, infused with a background in film direction and choreography, allowing me to craft sessions that navigate and release deep-seated emotional traumas. Through ancient practices and the latest scientific insights, I offer holistic, transformative experiences designed to fundamentally change lives.

About Breathwork

Somatic Breathwork, from a detailed perspective, integrates the science of breath control with the body's physiological and emotional landscapes. Scientifically, this method engages with the body's innate mechanisms, specifically targeting the autonomic nervous system to shift from the stress-induced sympathetic state to the restful parasympathetic state. This shift is crucial for promoting physical healing, reducing stress levels, improving oxygenation, and enhancing overall emotional well-being. It's a process deeply rooted in neurobiology, affecting neurotransmitter release, reducing cortisol levels, and stimulating the production of endorphins, thereby creating a natural state of calmness and contentment.

On the spiritual plane, Somatic Breathwork transcends mere physiological benefits, offering a gateway to deeper self-exploration and emotional liberation. It employs the breath as a tool to navigate internal experiences, facilitating a profound connection with the self. This practice enables individuals to access and release emotional blockages, often resulting in transformative experiences that can lead to significant personal growth and a deeper understanding of one’s emotional landscape.

IMD Breathwork takes the foundation of somatic breathwork to unparalleled levels by weaving together a rich tapestry of sound healing, personalized coaching, and advanced auditory technologies. It features a world-renowned soundtrack that guides the journey, enriched with healing frequencies, binaural beats tuned to theta brainwaves for deep meditation, and harmonic tuning to align with the earth's resonance. Subliminal messaging and therapy are intricately layered within a 360 immersive soundscape, creating a holistic experience that supports profound emotional, physical, and spiritual transformation through powerful breathing techniques. This approach not only deepens the healing process but also tailors it to individual needs, ensuring a journey that is both personal and expansive.

To get a little deeper into what IMD breathwork does; The aim is to get you into a state of "hypocapnia," which occurs when there's a reduced level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the blood after rapid breathing or over-breathing (hyperventilation). This reduction in CO2 causes vasoconstriction, reducing blood flow and thus oxygen supply to the brain, including the prefrontal cortex. This state can lead to altered states of consciousness, allowing individuals to access and process subconscious thoughts and emotions more easily.

The specific effect of facilitating access to the "back of your mind" to deal with subconscious issues, facilitated by altered breathing patterns, might be referred to more broadly within the context of breathwork or therapeutic practices rather than by a single scientific term. It leverages the body's physiological responses to create a condition conducive to emotional and psychological healing.

Healing comes from within — and we are here to help you activate it.
