In this episode of Thrive with Carrie, certified trauma-informed breathwork coach and Reiki master Trish Brewer joins Carrie to explore the transformative power of intentional breathing. From stress reduction and emotional release to spiritual connection and trauma healing, Trish explains how breathwork is one of the most accessible yet profound tools we have for nervous system regulation and inner healing.

Together, they dive into the difference between breath tools and breath healing, how trauma lives in the body, and how something as simple as conscious breath can help release old stories, emotions, and energy that no longer serve us. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, grief, health challenges, or you're just feeling disconnected—this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable insight.
