She believes in activating life force energy within, and working with the subconscious patterning in the nervous system, to experience wholeness.
In a breathwork ceremony with Dr. Jann, you can reach heightened states of consciousness with the support to heal and transform. She guides you in a gentle, yet powerful, Conscious Connected Breathing technique ~ an Active Meditation. You will drop into the sensations and emotions of the body, connecting right and left hemispheres of the brain, to find present moment awareness.

This practice changes lives.
