Rooted In Water: The Aqua Vita Story
I don't believe that the body can be broken — it is brilliant.
When we learn how to listen, regulate, and work with it, healing becomes something we participate in, not something we wait for.
Aqua Vita Breathwork exists to help people return to flow — physically, emotionally, energetically, and consciously.
My work integrates breathwork, somatic energy practices, meditation, and nervous system education, informed by years of training in somatic energy work, intuitive mentorship, and experiential healing modalities.
At its core, this work is about empowerment: helping people build the awareness, capacity, and trust to heal themselves.
But this path began long before I opened my practise.
Through advanced freediving training and my work as a scuba divemaster, I experienced what true, natural therapeutics feel like in the body. Being underwater stripped away noise, urgency, and distraction. It demanded presence. Breath became precious. Sensation became information. I learned how to relax under pressure, listen to subtle cues, and trust my body in an entirely new way.
Diving reconnected me to the intelligence of my body — and to the earth itself. It was the first time I felt what it meant to be fully regulated, embodied, and attuned from the inside out.
Alongside this embodied education, my life has been shaped by profound loss and illness. I lost my father to brain cancer. My biological father, and his mother died by suicide. I’ve witnessed how unprocessed pain, nervous system overwhelm, and disconnection from the body can shape a life — and how deeply people suffer when they feel trapped inside their own experience.
My life up until this point has shaped everything that I do. I've been shown me that healing isn’t about fixing what’s wrong — it’s about restoring movement where life has become stuck.
Aqua Vita is rooted in this understanding. The sessions, immersions, and experiences I offer are designed to help people soften out of survival mode, reconnect to their inner intelligence, and build the capacity to meet life with more presence, resilience, and agency.
Whether working one-on-one, with groups, or through immersive experiences, my role is not to heal anyone — it is to create the conditions where healing can arise from within.
This work is:
-
trauma-aware
-
consent-led
-
and deeply respectful of each person’s pace and process.
-
I don’t push people into catharsis or bypass discomfort.
-
I guide people toward safety, awareness, and integration.
My mission —
To help people return to the body as a place of safety and possibility — restoring self-love, expanding awareness, and opening access to a limitless experience of life.
Not by changing who they are —
but by helping them remember what’s already there.
