[Bra-mer-ree]

Interesting name, I know. Yogic philosophy teaches more that just asana (the physical shapes we can make with our body), it offers a lifestyle guide for wholeness. Bhramari is Sanskrit for "honey bee" and is a breath practice that helps to recalibrate the nervous system, encouraging the body's natural healing abilities from within. Want to give it a try? Take a deep breath in through the nose, and a gentle hum throughout the exhale. Happy healing.

Hi there, I'm Melissa

I am so glad you are here.

Welcome to my practice. 

It is my passion to blend ancient philosophies of yoga and wellness with modern anatomy, neurobiology, and trauma research. As we journey thorough life, our life imprints upon us. This happens naturally within the body via the senses and encodes into the body's memory, the nervous system. This sometimes creates habitual holding patterns in the body and/or distorted views of reality based of prior experiences; especially if they were overwhelming, scary, or unpleasant. This is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation. By observing the stories we are telling ourselves to be true, we can create change in how we perceive the world around us. Releasing defenses that no longer serve our growth or current reality.

Bhramari Seattle provides compassionate professional care to those seeking support, encouragement, and healing with life's complications.

Anxiety 

Feelings of fear and worry can be overwhelming and eventually led to burnout. Sometimes, step one is re-remembering what a calm baseline feels like.

Insomnia and Fatigue 

Prolonged states of stress and anxiety are debilitating and exhausting. Often creating a very busy mind and/or a very tired and body.

Depression

It can be lonely and isolating when you feel stuck or hopeless. You are not alone.

Dry Leaf
Post Trauma Symptoms

Experiencing symptoms such as racing thoughts, nightmares, increased heart rate, avoidance behavior, difficulty sleeping, being easily startled, or impaired cognition are common. Mild or severe, it can get better.

Grief

Every wound or loss to the soul needs to be honored in order to heal.

Life Transitions 

Navigating life transitions can be  overwhelming, especially when they are sudden, unwelcome, or unexpected.
