TABATHA DeBRUYN: Breath as Regulation, Safety, and Transformation + Nervous System Reset

In this deeply grounding and illuminating episode of Wake Up with Joni, Joni is joined by Tabatha DeBruyn, Transformational Breath Master and one of the few certified 9D Breathwork practitioners in Canada. Together, they explore breath as a bridge between science and soul—how conscious, somatic breathing supports nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, trauma release, and sustainable awakening. This is a powerful conversation for anyone feeling anxious, burned out, overwhelmed, or "awake but unregulated." Tabatha shares her personal journey—from high school teacher to global entrepreneur to breathwork facilitator—along with how grief, caregiving, and panic attacks ultimately led her to the healing power of somatic breathwork. You'll learn why breath is not just a calming tool, but a physiological gateway to safety, clarity, and transformation. In this episode, we explore: Why awakening without regulation can feel destabilizing How breath directly impacts the nervous system and brain function The difference between calming breath and activating breath What somatic breathwork is and how trauma lives in the body Why breathwork can feel like "10 years of therapy in one session" How breathwork supports children, teens, parents, and families Nervous system regulation as the missing link in healing and embodiment Simple, science-backed breathing practices you can use immediately Tabatha also guides listeners through practical breath techniques and offers a simple one-minute assignment to help you regulate, ground, and reconnect—starting today. This episode is an invitation to slow down, feel safe in your body, and remember that your breath is your superpower. 🔗 CONNECT WITH TABATHA DEBRUYN 🌐 Website: https://tabatha.online 📘 Book: Ordinary to Extraordinary: An Inspired Guide to Living the Life of Your Dreams (Amazon) https://a.co/d/amYg8HD 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabatha_debruyn 🧘‍♀️ Weekly Group Breathwork: Tuesdays, 7:30pm ET (online) Free resources & email list This link includes three complimentary experiences your audience may enjoy: – A 7-minute cinematic introduction to 9D Breathwork – A 5-minute nervous system reset – A 7-minute guided morning routine https://tabatha.myflodesk.com 🔗 CONNECT WITH JONI 🌐 Website: https://wakeupwithjoni.com 📘 Book: Stop.
