Join Ashlan Christoph, our host, as she speaks with Nicole Zimmerman, Transformational Self Love Coach & Breathwork Facilitator, about the benefits of Holotropic Breathwork, how to embrace self love, acquire confidence, and return to the sacred being of your body.
What is Holotropic Breathwork?
Holotropic breathing, also known as holotropic breathwork (HB), is a practice that involves managing and speeding up your breathing patterns in order to influence your mental, emotional, and physical states. In the 1970s, psychiatrists Stanislav and Christina Grof created an unusual New Age approach to achieve altered states of consciousness (without the use of drugs) as a potential therapeutic aid.
A Message From Nicole:
If you’re here, you’re most likely struggling to build a loving relationship with yourself. And before we dive into how I can help you, I want to share a little bit of my journey with you.
I too have struggled most of my life to build a loving relationship with myself. I’ve spent so much time searching for validation outside of myself, constantly trying to be something I’m not, constantly hustling for my worth, constantly playing small.
This all stemmed from one undeniable truth: I didn’t love myself or know how to cultivate love within myself...I didn’t even know where to begin. This lack of self-love led me down a tumultuous road-- a road of numbing out and attempting to escape myself every chance I got. I fought a long battle of eating disorders and addiction. I then entered an industry that only exacerbated all of this. I may have looked okay on the outside, but inside I was slowly dying. Inside I was exhausted, disconnected, empty, and unwilling to face any of my feelings.I knew I wanted more out of this life, I knew I wanted to be of service, and somewhere deep down in my soul, I knew I had it in me...I just had absolutely no idea how to get there.
A few years ago, I hit a point where I knew that if I continued to live like this, the road I would ultimately end up on would be very dark and very constricting; this was basically a “life or death” moment, and this moment, although it was what many may perceive as a “rock bottom” was the catalyst to my healing journey. My darkness led me to the light. This was the point where I began to take my life into my own hands and take action. I decided to get completely sober from all drugs and alcohol.
I decided to get outside help for my eating disorder and get healthy from a physical standpoint. But I found, even by doing all these things that my internal relationship with myself was still haunting me. I still had insecurities, I still suffered greatly from anxiety, still had the deep-rooted fears, still hated my body, and still continued to play small. I realized that I had to go deeper into my own internal experience and heal the parts of myself that were driving the internal pain; I decided that in order to finally be at peace with myself I had to finally face the parts of myself that I had been avoiding for my whole life.
