A session typically looks like some time at the beginning for us to chat so I can get oriented to you and your intentions for the session. Then you will get cozy and I will play some music and begin guiding you through the process. I will verbally guide you through attuning to yourself, activating your diaphragm, and help you get out of your head and drop down into your body! There are several different “breath patterns” that I may offer you based on what the intention is for the session. Sessions are set to music and are an active form of meditation. Which means- no, you do not have to sit with your legs crossed and your hands on your knees perfectly still. You are actually encouraged to shift and move as your nervous system releases and resets! Hands-on cueing may be offered but is not required nor given without consent.
At the end of the session I will guide you back “up” out of the meditative space and give you a few minutes to jot down anything you want to remember or further reflect on. I will also be available for you to share if verbal processing is your thing!
A meditative breathwork session is a 60 minute appointment. Approximately 30-40 minutes of that time will be spent in the active breathing with 10 minutes at the beginning and end for chatting. Meditative sessions are perfect for decompressing from a stressful time, for quieting a chaotic brain and having the opportunity to hear your own inner wisdom, for resourcing and centering. Each session is carefully crafted and personalized.
Integrative sessions are approximately 30 minute sessions, but are only about 8 minutes of active work! These are PERFECT for reorienting/recentering throughout the day. Many people like to schedule these on lunch breaks via zoom, as a way to transition out of work mode and into home mode, or perhaps before a big meeting or presentation to help you feel centered and empowered.
Personally, I love integrative sessions between meditative sessions as a touchstone… it helps me connect to my sense of self when I start to get swept away by life getting Lifey! I also experience it as an intentional form of self-care, as I have an opportunity to connect to my nervous system and bring in some nourishment and resourcing. Siiiiiiiiiigh*, I love breathwork, it just makes sense to my body.
What is your reading hoping for or craving? Show them what is possible if they could have what they want and what their life would be like. Evoke emotion! You can even use specific sensory details. When we rely solely on imagination it can feel abstract. When clients are on the edge of making a purchase or deciding to work with you, they benefit from a clear, tangible idea of what they’ll actually experience. So get specific!

"... she makes me feel like she has enveloped me with warmth and love and protection- everything about her is positive and healing - honestly just being in her presence is healing but how she goes through the session makes me feel so loved and understood - it is so healing"
"This breathwork session was extremely effective! I felt I was able to untangle a lot of deeply rooted emotions. I felt safe to explore vulnerability in a cathartic way. She is providing me with what feels like the final missing piece after decades of self exploration. She is gentle and intuitive and able to truly make me feel safe to be seen authentically. And she models what the embodiment of authenticity looks like."
"Wonderful. It felt like a carefully crafted journey, yet emergent. I felt so held, supported. And attuned to. I love Parkar's skillfulness in weaving together somatic work, her knowledge of the physical body and Breath facilitation. Sooo good! I felt safe and validated."
