Share episode

 Autumn sits down with Tabatha DeBruyn, a Transformational Breath Master and one of the few certified 9D Breathwork practitioners in Canada, to explore how breathwork supports nervous system regulation, stress recovery, and emotional resilience. This conversation is especially personal as Autumn shares how lingering pain from a car accident continues to flare daily—and why she’s “sneaking” this episode in early because she needs the tools now.


Together, you’ll learn simple, science-backed breath patterns you can use anywhere: breathing in through the nose into the belly, longer exhales to downshift from fight/flight/freeze, and an activating pattern for energy and focus (yes—better than coffee for some people). Tabatha also breaks down what 9D Breathwork actually is—breath + soundscapes + binaural beats + frequency + language—designed to help the body feel safe enough to release what it’s been holding.


Want to try it for yourself? Tabatha is gifting listeners three free experiences (including a 5-minute nervous system reset) when you join her email list.

Breathwork

[00:00:00] 

Introduction to Breath Work

Today we are going to be talking about breath work. This is something that I've been working on myself, so I'm very excited. Let me introduce our guest really quick and then we will get started and we will actually have her do breath work with us.

Welcome to Wellness. In every season, we talk all things wellness, to help you align yourself, align with your goals, find balance in your life, and just recalibrate yourself if you are listening for the first time. Welcome. I'm so glad you're here, and let's get started in the rest of the podcast.

I'm so excited. 

Meet Tabatha DeBruyn: Transformational Breath Master

So we have Tabatha DeBruyn she is a transformational breath master and one of the few certified nine D breath work practitioners in Canada, and we will ask what that means in a second. Specializing in nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and stress [00:01:00] recovery. Through her work, she helps adults, teens and children navigate anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, and overwhelm, using powerful science-backed breath work that combines breath.

Sound and somatic practices for full body transformation. Tabitha operates from her studio in Virgil, Ontario, collaborates with local businesses and community organizations, and also supports clients globally through online sessions. In addition to private and group sessions, she leads corporate wellness workshops designed to reduce workplace stress, improve focus, and support mental wellbeing.

Personal Struggles and the Power of Breath Work

And this episode is going out a day later than planned because I am sneaking her way in front of the line, in front of my solo spot because I need this, first of all, and I know so many other people do. With the weather going on, I'm looking at. F several feet of snow [00:02:00] outside. So it's definitely affecting me.

But I was in a car accident over a year ago and I'm still in so much pain. It flares up several times a day and it's hard to focus or to really do anything. Sleep is hard. It's just everything feels like I am going through. Thicker than water, just trying to function through it. And I know I'm not the only one, I'm talking to several people about this too, and it feels really good to feel not alone through this, but it's also, I'm throwing so much at this and things are only slightly working and it's very frustrating and I'm noticing as I'm leaning into meditation and putting breath work into meditation, that's helping a lot.

So I'm very excited for this conversation and seeing where it takes us, and I'm very excited that we are also going to be practicing this in real time for us in recorded time for everybody else. [00:03:00] So I will, without further ado, I'll give you the hosting permission and then we can go from there. It's such an honor to be able to share with you and your viewers, and even by the end of this podcast, you are going to feel a little bit better and you're gonna have some tools in your back pocket to be able to reach for at any time.

And that's so needed. And with me having this really big, I need to unplug from everything I've realized how much I want to do in-person coaching. Of course I'm gonna keep virtual. I'm loving my clients there, but I really wanna do in person and bring in people who do stuff like you do. And I have a long list.

It's actually right here that I've been working through. And breath work is one of the ones that is on there because it's so important. And working with people who are so far from their wellness goals and don't even really have [00:04:00] goals, they're just surviving. They've been doing it their whole lives and possibly it's been a generational thing.

It's a big thing to change course and do a total 180. It really is. 

Understanding the Sympathetic Nervous System

What I would love to just have us start with, because most people, as you mentioned, unbeknownst to them because it's just their commonplace, are in the sympathetic part of the nervous system, which is fight, flight, or freeze. They're there all day long, so they don't realize how tense they are, how uptight they can be, the tension that is stored and the brain fog and exhaustion that can come in.

And I want people to know that their breath is like a superpower, which sounds silly, but when you realize one breath pattern. When consciously done, when you're aware of what you're doing, can change how you feel in the body and how the [00:05:00] brain works. So most people, when they breathe, and if you and your listeners could just observe, don't judge in any way, but notice how you're breathing.

Do you breathe through your mouth or do you be breathe through your nose when you breathe, do you breathe into your belly or do you breathe into your chest? When you breathe, when you want to be down regulated, when you wanna be calm, when you wanna be able to move from an aligned state where you are responding as opposed to just simply reacting.

You want to be breathing in through the nose, into the belly, and you wanna inflate the belly. Which is weird for people because most people breathe in through the mouth and draw their belly really tight and pull it in, and then the shoulders come up that puts you into fight, flight, freeze. 

Practical Breath Work Techniques

So I'll have us all just relax for a second, and in [00:06:00] 3, 2, 1, take a deep breath in through the nose and inflate the belly.

You almost push it out to become aware of it. Then breathe out through a straw, through purse, lips, out through the mouth longer. On the exhale,

that already feels better. One breath, we brought your heart rate down, we brought your blood pressure down, and you have more blood flow to the prefrontal cortex to your brain so it can work better. So that takes you out of fight, flight, freeze, into rest, digest, and heal. So at any time you feel a little bit uptight, you feel like you're a little bit short with the kids, or you just seem to not have clarity of thought, go back to your breath.

Take a deep breath in through the nose, into the belly, and breathe longer [00:07:00] on the exhale. So that's just one little tool. If you're in the grocery line and you're frustrated or you're in a traffic gym and you're frustrated, that's just one way to be able to quickly change the state in the body. And as a transformational breath master, that's what I do.

I teach people simple breath patterns to be able to feel safe. Change the physiology of the body, and then I move with the psychology of the conscious mind. And then if we want to do that deeper healing, because 95% of our brain power is in the subconscious, I work in the subconscious as well. 

The Science Behind 9D Breath Work

Is that where the 9 Ds come in?

So nine D stands for nine, and the D is dimensions. The first dimension, most powerful part of what I do with nine D breathwork is the breathwork Your [00:08:00] breath. Is in Sanskrit, it means spirit and your breath can actually unlock the wisdom within the body. So they call it somatic healing because we use breath to be able to let go of what no longer serves us, regulate and move forward to optimize in life.

That is only one of the nine dimensions, and I know you as a coach, you have eight different, it sounds like dimensions in the modalities that you tap into. So I don't think these are going to come as a surprise to you, but where I've never seen it happen before is all together. So I use particular breath patterns to change the body, and then I have headphones on.

I'm using a very intricate soundscape. They're all different for every journey for a different outcome, but we use what they call binaural beats. Binaural beats are particular beats that slow the brainwaves down and put the body [00:09:00] at rest. We use music, which evokes emotion. Emotion is how we lock in some of these new beliefs and behaviors so that you can optimize and actually see the results.

But we also use music and certain frequencies, we often use 432 hertz, which puts your body at homeostasis. So it's one thing for me to say, I want you to calm your body down. But when I actually have it calm with the breath, and then the binary beats are doing the work and you're enjoying the soundscape and the music is over you and the frequencies are putting the body at ease, your body starts to feel safe.

When it feels safe, it can optimize. It can optimize in healing, it can optimize in creativity, in focus, in getting things done. So we use several different layers of sound [00:10:00] along with the breath. 

Experience the 9D Breath Work Journey

But because we were talking just before the recording and I said I had this really cool cinematic trailer, it's seven minutes.

If at all possible if you have headphones, but if you're driving and listening, go back to it. If you wanna hear it on steroids, shall we say, it's gonna take you to the next level. But if you have headphones on, I would encourage you to just lean back, relax, and I will play this cinematic trailer by the founder of nine D Breathwork.

His name is Brian Kelly, and he will explain all of the different layers and you get to experience it. I'm gonna grab my headphones and get them connected maybe.

Maybe I'll have to circle back. It's not connecting right now. Yeah, that's fine. This is a 90 D breathwork [00:11:00] experience brought to you by 90 breathwork. We live in a time of unprecedented change happening at an almost unbelievable speed. Never before have human beings had such easy access to the absolute best mind bending technology that this world has to offer.

The most powerful tools for human evolution are in the hands of the people, and we get to decide what to do.

I am gonna take you on a journey today into the mysterious world of your own subconscious mind. But before we begin, trust me when I say you're gonna want to throw on a set of headphones to listen to this and make sure you're sitting or lying down somewhere super comfortable. This will make sure you get the most out of this experience.

Are you ready? Are you [00:12:00] ready? Are you ready now? Are you ready? Are you ready? Are you ready? Close your eyes and allow your mind to wander. What would happen if someone brought all the most powerful tools for personal transformation and human evolution? Together all in one techniques that can deliver the results of years of therapy in one single session and carefully combine them into a single mind expanding experience.

Let me show you. Jump in. Let's take a ride.

The Power of Sound and Breath

Now, today you're gonna get a taste of the combined power of sound, breath, and language. You may have noticed by now that this is no ordinary recording.[00:13:00] 

This is what's called nine D sound. It has a powerful effect on your imagination. It makes things seem way more real than they actually are because the subconscious mind can't tell the difference between what's real and what's imagined. We'll be using nine D sound as a powerful tool to expand your awareness.

We will also be using music 'cause research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, improve memory, and increase focus. Music that's tuned to 432 Hertz is mathematically consistent with the universe. It induces a sense of calm and clarity and will leave you feeling relaxed and completely at ease.

Remember the track that we played at the beginning? Yeah, that's the one. Sounds good, doesn't it? It's tuned to 4 32 hertz.

Okay, that's it for sound. Next up. [00:14:00] Breath, you've never tried breath work before. This is going to blow your mind. And if you have this is still gonna blow your mind. Now you won't be breathing like you normally do. During breath work, you'll be breathing like a runaway freight train. Breath work's been used by the great Masters for thousands of years and it's recently been proven to be one of the safest and fastest ways to access and reprogram your subconscious.

Mind, which is where all of your beliefs, emotions, habits, reactions, imagination and intuition are stored out of sight, always present. And when it comes to creating any real lasting transformation, it's 1 million times more powerful than your conscious mind. Crazy right now. Once you have access to your [00:15:00] subconscious mind, how you program it dictates literally every aspect of your life.

And yes, it's completely possible to program and reprogram your own mind. Which brings us to the power of language. As human beings, we make sense of everything through language. In fact, if you're anything like most people, you've probably got a constant diet. Dialogue going on inside of your own head.

It's so normal you probably don't even notice it. Most of the time. Language is how we program ourselves and we either do it consciously or it's done for us by someone else. Now you probably heard of hypnosis before. It's another one of those crazy, powerful tools for reprogramming the subconscious mind that I mentioned earlier.

Hypnosis isn't just about making people think they're an animal bark like a dog. It's a way of planting powerful positive ideas, suggestions, and beliefs directly into your subconscious [00:16:00] mind. And with hypnotic suggestion, you can change your deepest, darkest limitations into your greatest strengths, your position of power.

Power. Now, one of the best ways to do this is with what's called subliminal messages. My thoughts are positive and expensive. I'm capable of, now think of these like a magic eraser that eliminates all the negative and limiting beliefs that are hidden deep in your subconscious mind. And it's gonna replace them with empowering, reframed and uplifting positive beliefs and ideas.

But here's the crazy part, your conscious mind won't even notice them. Because they'll be embedded inside of the music. Check this out. Here's a bit of music.

Here are the subliminal messages. Again, I focus on thoughts that support me, and this is them both together. I want Life is crazy, right? Starting to see how this whole thing fits together. [00:17:00] Good. We're not done yet. Because there's one more powerful ingredient that we are cracking open in this little cosmic mixing bowl.

Maybe you've heard of it. They're called bin neural beats. They're a set of very specific frequencies that trigger certain brainwave states by themselves. They sound like this. Now. Just listening to these can make you more focused and more alert than drinking that triple shot of espresso. Or even more relaxed than a foot massage on a lazy afternoon on your own private beach.

And just like the Subliminals, these binaural beats, they're gonna be layered into the 432 Hertz music. So you're not even gonna notice them. Listen

now, listen to these long enough, and your brainwaves say will automatically shift without you having to lift a finger. So imagine this going on in the background with the positive subliminal [00:18:00] messages playing directly into your subconscious minds while you're being guided in a world class mind bending breathwork journey experience, and all of it being delivered in super high definition.

Sound

mind blown yet?

I'll have you just take a deep breath. Wiggle your fingers, wiggle your toes.

I hope that gave you a little understanding. Of what 90 Breath work is all about, but there is nothing like actually truly experiencing it. But what are your thoughts? You had never heard that before. I've used Binal beats and I really enjoy them when I need to do [00:19:00] deep focusing, or sometimes I've done it in meditation and I love the idea of the subliminal messages because that's in music already.

And I'm, I used to be an audio file. I think I said that correctly until children, and then I had to listen to the same children's songs over and over. So I find it to be super cool and it totally makes sense. I can't believe that was seven minutes that felt so much shorter. That's usually what people say with breath work.

Different sessions are different lengths for different situations, but a full length somatic journey averages about 60 minutes. In the first 10 minutes. We downregulate. We really create safety in the body. Then we change the breath pattern. You're guided the whole way through and we activate for about 40 minutes.

When you activate, it quiets the blood flow to the prefrontal cortex. That's where your ruminating [00:20:00] thoughts are. That's where our patterning is. But when you quiet those, we can open up that subconscious mind and get in there. Let excavate some of what is no longer serving You reprogram old limiting beliefs with positive, powerful optimization beliefs.

That take your results to a whole new level. And I work with all different kinds of people. I work with kids, teens, adults, corporate. I specialize in anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and burnout because that's what I needed. 

Personal Transformation Through Breath Work

I was a transformational coach and an entrepreneur and a mom for many years, and I was fine as long as I was serving someone else.

After my mom passed, though I had a lot of time with her. She was really ill for about 10 years. When she passed, I knew I would grieve and I was there in supporting the family and [00:21:00] extended family, but in the privacy of my own thoughts, when everyone else was looked after and it was just me. I found myself having panic attacks.

My hands were going numb. I was shaking. My heart was palpitating, and I had trouble sleeping. And at that point I thought, I have so many tools in my toolkit, but there must be something. And when the student is ready, the teacher will come. And that's when I met Brian Kelly. I did one full length somatic breathwork journey.

He made me feel very safe. It was online and I went all in it's breath work because it is work. It's very safe, but you put your body in an uncomfortable position so that you can open up, heal, stretch your mind, and take your reality into something different. So on the other side of that, I knew I was different.

I was at greater peace. I have not had a panic attack [00:22:00] since now. I still use breath work practices on the daily. I'm just consciously aware of my breath, whereas I just really took it for granted before. But that's how I found breath work. And I often work with people moving through grief and loss and trauma of some sort as well as.

Anxiety, panic attacks, stress, overwhelm, and burnout. 

Daily Breath Work Practices

Tell me more about your self-care practices within breath work. Is it once a day? Do you do it several times a day? Do you switch up the different types of breath work? Give us more of that imagery. So the biggest thing is, now breath is something I consciously do.

I know that I can downregulate by breathing deeply in through the nose, into the belly, and breathing longer on the exhale. But there are times where I'm feeling a little bit [00:23:00] tired, and I wanna be creative. I wanna be productive. I wanna feel really focused. So intentionally I put myself into fight, flight, freeze that activation, and I'll do a little bit with that with you and your listeners right now where I had you breathe in through the nose and longer on the exhale to feel down regulated.

You do the reverse to feel activated, so you breathe in through the mouth and longer on the inhale, you don't even think about the exhale. It's a very short exhale, so it looks and sounds like this. I breathe into the belly and then into the chest, and then I relax and let go. So if we were just to do five of these right now and you observe how you feel in the body, let's try it in 3, 2, 1.

Deep breath into the belly, through the mouth, into the chest. Relax and let go.[00:24:00] 

Even in five breaths, you probably feel like you've got a little bit more energy, A little bit of heat is in the body. Your blood has been started to feel more oxygenated. Your brain is gonna get very focused. When you think about when somebody comes up behind you and they startle you, you breathe in big, deep breath in, and then you don't even think about the exhale.

So you're in fight, flight, freeze. And what happens, the body automates takes blood flow away from the brain into the big muscles of the body so that you are good and focused and can get out of danger. When we do it intentionally, consciously, then you know, I'm gonna feel alert. This is better [00:25:00] than a cup of coffee.

I'm going to feel focused and I'm going to have that energy going through my body. So that's when I use activation to answer your question first thing in the morning. I am a big believer that when you can bring gratitude throughout your body, I know it scientifically brings your energetic frequency up.

Attracts like I want. When you're grateful, you are given more to be grateful for, and people meet you at that energetic level. So I start my morning with deep breaths into the belly, through the nose, longer on the exhale and gratitude when I feel like my eyes are leaking, because I'm so grateful and so filled with that bliss, that's when I get outta bed.

I'm just like you and everybody else who, especially on a winter day, like today, I'd like to pull the covers up and I just wanna snuggle in and I'd like to press snooze. But if I [00:26:00] know, if I actively breathe through the mouth longer on the inhale, short on the exhale for 10 deep breaths, I'm going to be more alert.

I'm going to be awake. So I use that breath pattern to trick myself. To not press snooze, to get outta bed and go be productive and be energized. So consciously knowing some breath patterns to be able to get calm and to activate. So as a parent, I know that you've got four kids. I would love to encourage people to start to be aware of their breath themselves.

You can change the way you feel in the body. How well your brain works when you learn particular breath patterns, and we've already covered two, but if we as a society would start to say, you know what? Let's not just take a breath. That would make a big difference. I teach kids all the time how to pause, breathe [00:27:00] in deeply, and blow out through a straw just to calm their body.

Another one would be the physiological sigh. 

Understanding the Physiological Sigh

And you probably see your kids if they ever get into that point where they're sobbing uncontrollably. I know even as adults we do, their body is so brilliant. What happens is they go,

it's a physiological sigh. They'll breathe in and another breathe in, and then they will sigh audibly out. Dogs do it as well. That is scientifically the fastest way to regulate your nervous system. 

Daily Breath Work Practices

So I do some breath work every morning. Then I use breath patterns throughout the day. If I want to be courageous, if I wanna be focused, I will pull and do maybe a five minute reset.

I'm gonna give a free, recession, five minute reset and that cinematic trailer and a seven minute morning [00:28:00] routine to any of your listeners. If they go to my website, if they sign up for my email, I will automatically send those to them so they have them in their back pocket. But I use that five minute 90 breath work, reset time.

I just need to turn things around in the day. I feel like I'm just not at my best. I need a reset. That's my reset. 

Breath Work for Emotional Regulation

But then I do full length somatic breath work journeys one to two times every once a week, every other week. It depends whether my, what my schedule allows for, because that's the continuous work for optimization.

That absolutely makes sense. I love the morning one because especially during the summer when they're all home, I don't know how. Kudos to all of you who homeschool. That is not my cup of tea. So when they're all home during the summer, I have a hard time wanting to get out of bed. They just zap my energy.

[00:29:00] So I love this idea and the idea of doing it daily. And I love any meditation practice. I like guided meditation because they add breath work to it. My favorite yoga class has a lot of breath work in it, and it makes sense why they're my favorites because for me. I totally forget to breathe. Like just, it's part of my heartbeat, like whatever.

But it makes sense. My husband he's adorable. We'll just start with that. But he does this thing and he, and I've asked him before and he said most of the time it's subconscious where he will, and then he'll kiss me and it forces me to do that too. And it's one of those, and it makes me look forward to when he comes home and he gives me that first kiss.

Because it reminds me to do that to my body. Just whatever I was holding onto. Yay. He's home. Even if the kids haven't come home, the oldest three from school yet, he normally comes home like 10 minutes before they get off the school bus, but I'm just ready for [00:30:00] them. I love that. And part of it is the habit and that emotional connection to him coming home.

You're not by yourself anymore. You've got help. And he's your life partner, so you're excited to have him. So all of that is going to regulate and make your body feel safe. But the neuroscience is, he was taking a breath in and when he did this, ha. It longer. On the exhale, he lowered his blood pressure, he lowered his heart rate.

He was coming into himself. He has more blood flow to the brain so he can be fully present with you. And all of that was automated. But how brilliant is that? Then he makes me do it. We mirror it. That's exactly what it is. 

Breath Work Techniques for Kids

So quite often when kids can be. Just at their wits end, they're tired and they're just you.

There's no talking rationally with them at this point. Quite often we can empathically mirror how they're feeling and get [00:31:00] frustrated, but if we could get down to their level and just regulate our own nervous system in through the nose longer on the exhale. Just nod with them. You feel safe in your body.

They will start to mirror it. It's the coolest thing. Same thing when you are dealing with colleagues that are a bit frustrating and they haven't gotten regulated. You just calmly breathing in through the nose, nodding longer on the exhale. They'll mirror you. That's what we do. We mirror breath patterns.

But I will give you a trick with that. I use for kids sometimes, and adults too. We just do it a little differently. We talk about same thing, but we talk about it differently. But let's just say we have a three or a 4-year-old who's just beside themselves. What I do is I change the state in the body before I even think about changing their mindset and trying to talk to them because they can't hear me at that time.

But I'll have [00:32:00] them march with big, high knees and big arms moving March, blow out the candles on the cake. March, blow out the candles. March, blow out, do five of those, and usually they're like, ha. We are breathing longer. On the exhale, we're moving the body, so we're changing the state.

We're oxygenating the body, and all of a sudden you've got somebody that might be laughing after five breaths as opposed to where they were in the state of just not reasonable. I love that My third kid gets dysregulated. It's been a journey. He's so much better. So I couldn't even finish that sentence.

'cause he gets dysregulated, but it's not in this big way anymore. And what we would do is we would grab a weighted blanket that's his size, so it's not heavy or huge, and we would have him against our chest, breathe with us. So I love that extra tool, especially because [00:33:00] sometimes you can't get the kid to do the marching yet.

Just start here. All right. Now come and do this with me. I love. Any tools that I can get to help and through helping him so much, it was that reminder that I need to work on stuff for me because if I need to have this deep reservoir, I need help. I've done a bunch of work there, but there are still times, especially because I am the full-time parent, I'm the one that works from home.

My husband works an hour away that. I have to really do a lot of work on myself to make sure to be the one for him because I get dysregulated easily. My husband doesn't. So there's only so much tag teaming we can do when he is not around. So any help possible? Yes, please. And I know I'm not the only person saying that.

Breath Work for Adults

So you can't do this for adults. So what do you do for adults? All different things. I will say that my, my signature program is a self-paced program and [00:34:00] it's 28 days. From burnout to brilliance. Now, you don't have to do them consecutively. Ideally that would be amazing, but everybody's schedule is busy.

So I have done them live, but I've also recorded them so that people have them and can go back to them over and over again and maybe just take a piece of it. But every day there is a mindset tool, something very simple that when you have that tool in your back pocket. You just use it over and it's easy to remember, but nets massive results.

But it also explains some of why we as humans do what we do. And every day I teach a different breath pattern for different reasons. We practice it using nine d breath work experiences. So it's fun and you we're programming that subconscious mind. But we are learning how to breathe so it becomes.

Properly automated as opposed to dysregulated. Automated and then [00:35:00] there's guided meditation at the end of each of them, which lock in all of the messages so that it continues to program the brain. So you remember them. But that program is something that adults can use and kids can use. I literally filmed it in my pajamas to keep it very real.

We, when I did it live, I've done it first thing in the morning. I've done it in the afternoon. There's no bad time to do breath work and they are all under an hour long. But the different breath practices are all different lengths and then people can go back to them over and over again. So great for adults, they.

The big thing is they, we do the same. We just might not talk about blowing out the birthday candles, get up, move your body, put a piece of music on, go for a walk, five minutes, five feet away. Remind yourself that your breath changes your state and then your mind will follow. So that's what I would say in regulating [00:36:00] humans or activating humans at times.

We answered most of the questions I was going to ask you right in explaining it. Obviously we'll need headphones for the headphones. Definitely take the entire experience to a whole new level, but it really allows you to take some time for you. Like even the ritual of getting the headphones, finding a quiet spot.

You can do it on a bed. You can do it on the couch. You can do it on the floor. You can even do it in a La-Z-Boy chair if you'd like. Yeah, I love that. Let's see. The one question you didn't answer is, we purchased this, is it lifetime? Is it a certain length of time? Can we download them to our phone to use whenever?

Tell me that part of it. 

Programs and Resources

So my, the program that I did that, that from Burnout to Brilliance, is just one of my programs. I also have a seven day one, the 28 day. You've got everything and you can go back to it over and over again. I filmed it on Zoom, so you have the recordings there. [00:37:00] And as for when you do a full length somatic journey, I do them every Tuesday, seven 30 Eastern standard time.

And if you sign up for that one, you also get a recording of the Zoom call so you can go back and redo that. And then if you're anywhere close to me or if I come to you, then when I do weekly sessions in person, in my in-home studio. But I work with clinics as well. That's amazing. I don't, oh, I did go to her website right before this.

It's very beautiful. So look around. There's a lot there. I really love how well done it is. And just looking at your website is a big excel. Oh, that's quite a compliment. I appreciate that. I will say that anybody interested in this work, I offer a 30 minute complimentary discovery call with me. I want you to know having a trusted facilitator who fiercely has your [00:38:00] back, there's no judgment.

People come to me for all different reasons. I work with all different addictions. I work with all different kinds of trauma. I work with, obviously breathing through grief and loss is a big one. Loss of a person, a pet, an identity, a career. But I also work in optimization for people. High achieving people, whether they're athletes or musicians and actors or corporate as well.

So if you have any questions, please book a complimentary session. Let's get to know each other and then I can guide you where I think would be best and, I can talk about the entire library of somatic journeys I have, but when I know what it is you're looking for, I can shorten that learning curve to make it really simple for you to either come in and do one session.

I have a lot of people who work with me for a three month period. One of the things that I love so much is I, obviously, I draw in a lot of middle aged [00:39:00] women and a lot of moms. I am a mom of two, but mine are much older. Mine are 26 and 23. Both are entrepreneurs. Both have breath work as a practice, not only for themselves, but the people around them and their employees also tap into it.

But. I work with when I work with middle-aged women, once they do one session, quite often they're like, oh, I need my husband to try this. Oh, my mom would really benefit from this. Oh, could you do a session with me and the kids? And when you work one-on-one with me, we tailor make that. So I call myself the secret weapon for high achievers and their families.

So if you come to the website, take a look or just ask questions because I tailor make the work. So that you have the skills. You are not gonna need me forever. You're gonna have these, you can go back to those practices at any time. But most people say, I cannot [00:40:00] believe the difference in my life in just a couple of sessions.

It's like magic. It's not magic, it's neuroscience. It's the body feeling safe and then aligned enough with clarity to know the steps to take in order to get the results they want. And some have said, I've done therapy. For years, which I'm all a big advocate for this in addition to, but you don't have to talk.

And it does really shorten the time it takes to see really rapid results. Some say it's 10 years of therapy in one 90 minute session tab and. 

Final Thoughts and Encouragement

That's why I will, I've chosen to dedicate the rest of my life to sharing this modality with those that can benefit. And I honestly think everybody could.

Yeah, I was just thinking those that could benefit, that's everybody. And apparently dogs too. I love that. You'd be surprised. Do you have a dog? I have two. So what if you [00:41:00] do breath work? Watch what happens. They are right there with you. They are so curious. They pick up on all of your subtleties and when you're regulated, they get regulated.

It's really neat. That is cool. I my, I have one dog who likes to snuggle with me. I'll try it out with her first would be fun. So tell us, for those who don't wanna look in show notes, although the link to our website. Especially to get on her newsletter is there, and for the 30 minute call, it's all in the description.

But tell us where to find your website and then which social media handle you and platform you use the best. So my website is Tabitha online. Tabitha is spelled all A-T-A-B-A-T-H-A. So tabitha.online. And I would love to, I play on social media a little bit, Instagram. I try to share an authentic overall.

[00:42:00] Glimpse of my life and nervous system regulation is a part of my daily life. Overall health and wellness and mind and body and soul. But you get to see that through my kids, my dogs, my, my family. But if you just would, and that's just at Tabitha Jabon, and if you just like nervous system regulation information you can go to at tab collective.

Tab is transform, align, and breathe. But I'd love to see you on both. Reach out. I'd love to get to know you, and I love that you used your name for the acronym. That's so cute. Thank you. This was so good and that already does feel a lot better. Still blurred up a little bit. It's obvious that is what I need.

When I've been meditating more and adding breath work in, it makes a huge difference. It's that reminder that we are carrying stuff, even if it's long past whatever that trauma was, whether it was physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, [00:43:00] we carry it in our bodies. So this is our way of reminding our bodies chill out.

And I worked with people who they wanna work on their weight and really it's really what they're saying is, I need to work on my stress and my sleep. Yes, before those cortisol levels. But not only that, when we fall in love with who we are and who we are in the midst of becoming, then you get greater clarity when safety is in the body and your hormones are at a better level, and we can plant those thoughts into the mind.

To know that exercise is something I love and eating well is nourishing this body, this vessel, this ability to go out and live life in a joyful way. So all of that can be programmed as well as teaching the breath work. Yeah, I was [00:44:00] just thinking about that with the subconscious part. That totally makes sense because there's so much of the day, like it talked about in the video and you talked about that.

Seriously, autumn? Did I do that again? Why? No. And you have the voices of your parents. If they weren't the greatest parents of whoever it was before it was your voice speaking negatively. It's nice to be able to have that moment where you're getting affirmations instead, you're getting the positive feedback and you're being reminded to breathe deeply into yourself and to really bring in.

The good for some practices, I've had it where you're imagining a white light that's just burning all the negative away and those things, like you said, it is science, but it's stuff that's been around forever. Now we have science to prove that it's right. Anyway, I love being honored to [00:45:00] be able to lead any of your listeners through any of the journeys or answer any questions they may have.

But I really appreciate your time, your curiosity, your fabulous questions, and your genuine interest in the wellness of others. And thanks for letting me sneak you in early for getting on so soon, because like I said, this is something that I've been talking about because I've been noticing it in myself.

So of course, other people have been interested in, and this is something that with all the different things that I've talked about. Solo and with people that I've interviewed, breathwork has never fully come up in this way, that as soon as it was in my inbox said, absolutely I need this. So thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for listening to this episode. I hope that you found the answers that you needed, and you had some amazing aha moments. [00:46:00] Please share this episode with others because it helps us align ourselves and then better align the world so that we can seek the healing that we really are looking for as part of the legal language.

I am a certified life coach with a Bachelor's in Applied Health. That is what I am leaning on for this. This is general advice. Take it as such. See you in the next episode.
