Join us for this in person event on beautiful Salt Spring Island, where we will dive deep into the healing power of our Breath. We will begin with a meditation to start to bring awareness to our breath. Then, using the profound tools of Conscious Connected Breathwork and sound healing we can begin to revitalize our minds and bodies, gain clarity and insight, and begin to orient ourselves towards healing and transformation in the midst of the storm.
When the body and heart feel safe, the breath can begin to unlock and unwind us, creating space to release and clear anything that no longer serves us.
It is a solitary journey that we do together. You are welcome here.

Some Testimonials:
“I have done years of talk therapy – years – Breathwork with Amber is a lifetime of talk therapy in one session! I can’t express how important this work is. I was transported to childhood, through past traumas, into outer space, but most importantly, I became incredibly present! I felt such immense power fill my body! Amber’s facilitation is wonderfully intuitive and nurturing. She creates and holds a deep, powerful, beautiful safe space which allows one to delve deep into the self”
Mickey Sumner – Actor
“I didn’t know anything about Breathwork but I was desperate for anything that could help me understand my reality, help heal my traumas, and most importantly, to help me move forward. I arrived confused, hurt, and as a walking shell. I left feeling inspired, hopeful, and felt significant relief. We all have our own desire to heal and we all have our own stories. I discovered myself, began to understand and find myself in that temple. And I’m forever grateful for the expert navigation that Amber provided me. I laughed. I cried. I felt. And I most importantly, I started to heal. I suppose when you have the beauty of Salt Spring Island mixed with the serenity of Ancient Fire’s temple and the guidance of the light worker that is Amber — how could you not experience something profound?”
Brett Kissel – Country Music Artist
“With your innate ability to hold the most incredible safe space, you allowed me to finally see me, for who I truly am. You guided me, held me and allowed all of the angry, pent-up, wounded parts of myself, to surface and be released. Under your enveloping care, acceptance and deeply rooted knowing, you enabled me to transform. It was an experience I never could have expected or imagined and I will be forever honoured to have experienced my true self for the first time, with you. I am a changed Woman. You are a life-altering Being, offering a life-altering process. Thank you Amber, for holding that space. Thank you for showing me the way. Thank you for embodying all of you, so I could embody all of me.”
