Nicholas Menard
Nicholas is here to have a positive impact on the world and create magic in every interaction. He has been diving into various healing modalities for the past 10+ years seeking to answer one question…Why do we know the most about ourselves mentally, spiritually, physically and emotionally yet we are collectively the most unhealthy humans to ever walk the face of the earth? His mission is to discover and provide tools for each individual to uncover the answer to that question.
His passion for Breathwork dates back to a session that led him to cry for the first time since his father passed away 13 years prior. He experienced its deep effect on the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical level. He now seeks to lead and share the breath with all those who are looking to explore its wide ranging, impactful powers.
He deploys a variety of breathwork techniques and practices to create an experience with intention to meet the breather where they are at. Each breath is perfect, depending on the effect one is seeking. We will be directing the breath to the element and energy of the day to supercharge our practice and awaken parts of us that have been dormant. Let’s get ready to explore, play and get curious on our breath journey.
