Breathwork for Emotional Healing and Expansion: Calling in intentions for the New Year

Breathwork is a somatic practice used to access deeper emotions, work through past wounding, and experience new states of consciousness or perspectives. By using the breath, stagnant energy, emotion, and belief systems that we are no longer willing to carry are given the opportunity to move and be released. When this occurs, we are invited to step into new ways of being, thinking, and showing up in the world that are oftentimes in alignment with our deeper, more authentic selves and soul.


While everyone’s experience of breathwork is different, and one’s individual experience of breathwork can change from one class to the next, there are some general themes I’ve noticed in my time as a practitioner. People report experiencing feelings of intense physical and emotional release. Some experience visions of future, empowered versions of themselves; and sometimes, past or younger selves. Trauma or painful events may be revisited and processed with a sense of healing and closure. Decisions that once felt confusing are seen with newfound clarity or peace. Desires and dreams are taken more seriously, and we can see the ways in which we’ve been holding ourselves back from them. Sometimes, one might experience all of the above, or something entirely different altogether.

Some look to breathwork for a spiritual experience, others for a purely physical or emotional one. Oftentimes, all three. When done with intention, breathwork can provide healing for a wide range of needs.

Please bring:

  • Water bottle - hydrate that magnificent body!

  • Yoga mat

  • Blanket

  • Journal + pen/pencil

  • Wear comfy clothing to maximize relaxation

Meet Madison

Madison Rutledge is a clinical mental health counselor and breathwork facilitator in Missoula, MT.

In 2018, she experienced breathwork for the first time at a weeklong retreat in the mountains of Canada. She was guided through what would be a truly healing experience, just by using her breath. This was the beginning of a long and transformative journey with breathwork.

Two years later she became a breathwork facilitator through intensive training. Madison was deeply moved and inspired by the change that had taken place within her, from something so simple yet profound, and wanted to provide that opportunity for others.

Before becoming a breathwork facilitator, Madison trained as an intuitive guide. She has spent a decade in the world of spiritual healing and mental health, and during this time found immense fulfillment in walking alongside others in their journey towards expansion, growth, and wholeness.
