WHY CONSCIOUS BREATHING

Life can feel chaotic sometimes, isn't it?  Probably more often than you would like...

Some days it feels like you don't have any time for yourself. Even when you sit down you have thoughts in your head of things to do next. 

If you are expecting your baby, the list of things to organize, and take care of can be endless, taking up that little space left between work, family, and friends. 

If you are already a mum, you very well know that time has become one of the most expensive commodities these days.

And the worries! The 'what if'! 

The expectations passed down from society, suffocating your need to explore and learn what this world of motherhood is all about. 

The truth is that you try. You do. 

You try to be a good mum, whatever that means to you. 

You want to be able to have more connection with your baby (and enjoy all stages of pregnancy) while deepening the one with your partner. 

You want to go through all the changes smoothly and graciously. 

You want to enjoy every day and recover quickly to get to have more fun and ease with your family. 

How do you get there though? 

You don't have time or energy to add more pressure to your schedule, it already feels like you have enough on your plate. 

WHAT IS THE CONSCIOUS BREATHING

The solution is quite easy, and it's already available to you. 

It can be as simple as you want to make it.   You can have multiple 5 minutes a day or an extra 30 minutes.  Time will slow down for you, like magic. 

This is the Power of Relaxation, of real Relaxation.  Something you can reach Mastering your Breath. 

There are lots of reasons why learning this skill.

You can bend time (well, kinda. But you will notice that everything feels slower and more approachable)​.

No need for fancy equipment or tools, you just need a cozy space and something to sit on comfortably. 

Pranayama (the art of Breathing) is an excellent tool to have before, during, and after pregnancy to support you navigate the challenges of everyday life. 

This course is for moms and moms-to-be, exercises are adjusted according to the stage of the pregnancy.

ABOUT THE TEACHER

Manuela is an energy healer, Reiki Master, masseur, and avid explorer of different holistic and sustainable ways of living.

After a burnout in her early twenties, while preparing her thesis in a Chemistry lab, she decided to explore a more natural approach to stress and her mood swings, going back in touch with a long-time passion of hers, energy healing, and Reiki.

Following her Intuition, she ended up traveling seven years between Australia, New Zealand, and India, going back to the gardens, and Nature. She decided to travel exploring different and new techniques, immersing herself in the life of many talented therapists, which exposed her to some amazing and impactful methods.

During that time, she arrived in a place of peace within herself, having deep-dived in her self-development and learned and applied methods to shift mindset and subconscious patterns.

Since 2015 she guides other women so they can master the art of living in Alignment within themselves, in their personal life, their career, and within their family.

Her offers continuously evolve, Women circles, Reiki events, coaching, and workshop.

All that journey brought her and her business to Amsterdam, where she lives for 3 years, continuously amazed by the wonders that the city can offer.
