Restoring Intimacy
WITH YOUR PARTNER THROUGH BREATHWORK & TOUCH THERAPY
Whether you’ve recently coupled up or you’ve been together for years, restoring intimacy with your partner is a worthy investment for the longevity, wellbeing and evolution of your relationship. Together, Caroline and Michelle will guide you through exploring the art of restoring intimacy — playfully, openly and lovingly — through breathwork, touch therapy and couples inquiry.
We’ll begin our session in circle with an introduction to breathwork and touch therapy before leaning into partner exercises, touch therapy and the breathwork practice itself. We’ll close our time together in circle where there will be space for group reflection if desired.
You can read more details about partner breathwork, touch therapy and your guides below.

What is Partner Breathwork?
Partner Breathwork creates an opportunity to explore the breathwork practice in another way with your significant other to resolve conflict, to work through a difficult time OR to renew or deepen your connection with in a sweet, meaningful and insightful way. My hope is that it offers you a chance to explore the benefits of this heart-centered work on another level with a companion by your side.
What sets ‘partner breathwork’ apart from a typical group breathwork session where you might already be exploring the work with a loved one by your side, is that before guiding you through the breathing technique, you’ll be guided through communication exercises that you and your partner will move through together.
This means that either you and your partner will need to be in the same room OR be able to have contact via another device where you can chat momentarily in real time.
What is Breathwork?
This particular style of Breathwork is an active meditation technique that allows you to navigate and tend to your inner terrain by connecting with your breath to both ground your nervous system and support you in building a more resilient nervous system while relieving your mind and body of stuck, stagnant energy — in turn, creating a pathway for both an emotional and somatic release and the creation of new neural pathways.
Through liberating tension, stress and even limiting thought patterns, you’re better able to connect with the innate wisdom within, which can be a strong catalyst for opening your heart to honest self-love, self-healing, and self-acceptance.
Although it’s considered an activating breathwork practice, it has a feminine touch.
What is Touch Therapy?
Touch can be a meaningful way to support us in creating and rebuilding a felt sense of connection, compassion, trust and safety in our relationship with ourselves and our body.
When we receive touch from another we feel supported by or gently caress our own skin, our brain begins to release oxytocin, the love and bonding hormone that is known to help soothe our nervous system and reduce cortisol, the stress hormone.
During our time together, Caroline will guide you through a variety of therapeutic massage techniques and hand placements intended to create a regulating moment between you and you or you and your partner.
