She Started Breathwork at 5… and It Changed Her Life

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the show! All feedback is appreciated.Your breath can reveal what words sometimes can’t.In this episode of Breathwork Magic, Amanda Russo sits down with Harmony Kwiker, a transpersonal psychotherapist, teacher, and author whose journey with breathwork began at just five years old. Growing up in a home where meditation, breathwork, and healing practices were part of daily life, Harmony witnessed firsthand how the simple act of breathing could shift someone from heaviness into lightness. Their conversation explores how these early experiences shaped her path into psychotherapy and why breathwork continues to be one of the most powerful tools for healing and transformation.Together, they explore the connection between breathwork and therapy, how breath allows us to access preverbal emotions and trauma without needing to explain them, and why integration and compassionate awareness are essential parts of the healing process. Harmony also shares her perspective on transpersonal therapy, the importance of spaciousness in the nervous system, and why breathwork can help us reconnect with our innate wisdom. From breathing in the bath to honoring both the “life urge” and the “death urge,” this episode offers a grounded and expansive look at what it really means to heal, surrender, and fully embrace being alive.Listeners will hear how breathwork can support trauma healing, emotional release, and nervous system regulation while also learning why individual breathwork sessions can be profoundly different from group experiences. Harmony also shares how therapists themselves can benefit from breathwork training to deepen their capacity to hold space for others.Whether you’re new to breathwork or already exploring its deeper layers, this conversation invites you to remember something simple and powerful: As long as you have your breath, you have options.🔹 Connect with Amanda Russo, The Breathing Goddess:Book a 1:1 Breathwork Session HEREInstagram: @thebreathinggoddess
