How Breathwork Healed My Depression
From my first breath, I was fighting to survive. Born a “blue baby” with a heart defect that limited my ability to breathe properly, I began life with a fight/flight pattern that would follow me for decades – struggling to catch my breath, both literally and emotionally.
Linda is an absolute gift. In such a short time, she has helped me work through emotions I hadn’t been able to face in over 10 years of therapy.
Her breathwork bridges the gap between mind and body, guiding me through healing in ways traditional therapy never could. She has helped me process and move past PTSD, night terrors, and struggles with an eating disorder in ways I never thought possible.
Through her coaching guidance, I’ve learned to sit with the scariest, most intense emotions without fear, knowing I am safe. Her presence is grounding, her energy is deeply calming and genuine, and I am endlessly grateful for the peace and transformation she has brought into my life.

Linda has cared for me and my patients with multiple therapeutic disciplines – breath work, hypnosis, NLP, yoga, sound therapy, and her honest and real healing presence.
What is crystal clear to me is that the patients I refer to her are better in all realms – physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
-Dr. Mark Kalina
In a mere 3 months working with Linda has been completely life altering for me. I am a completely different person now. At peace, happy, calm, free of past memories that had haunted me for decades. And I feel empowered to greet the future with confidence and joy.
I’ve gone to many therapists; done emotional release work. I have suffered from adrenal fatigue for about 30 years which no doctor could correct. I would have about three hours in the morning where I could function, and after that I was virtually nonfunctional from fatigue.
But since our very first appointment I don’t need naps anymore. I’m able to socialize and my adrenals have finally corrected themselves. Cannot recommend Linda highly enough.

When Trauma Takes Root
At 11, my grandmother, my emotional anchor, passed away. Overwhelmed by grief, and constant crying, I realized that my mother didn’t know how to handle my grief.
I found myself sent from Iran to a boarding school in Los Angeles. The unintended message I received was clear: strong emotions are not to be felt but escaped. This early childhood trauma became the template for my life.
Depression had already taken hold by age 16, though I wouldn’t recognize it until much later – just a deep, overwhelming loneliness that made my heart feel like it would explode.
Throughout my 20s, I moved approximately 40 times, unconsciously running from feelings I didn’t know how to process. “I was constantly running, not realizing that my anxiety and depression were following me wherever I went.”
The Breaking Point That Led to Breakthrough
At 49, facing divorce, my emotions were all over the place. Relief mixed with profound sadness, peace intertwined with pain. Friends urged me to “get out of this funk” and “move on,” reinforcing society’s message that difficult emotions should be suppressed rather than processed.
When my daughter returned from college suffering from severe depression, my own mental health spiraled to dangerous lows, sometimes becoming suicidal. I avoided deep relationships, especially with my mother, whose attempts at support often triggered intense anger that left me with an enormous amount of guilt.
This was my darkest hour, but also the catalyst for another deep transformation.
Discovering the Healing Power of Breath
It was during this rock-bottom period that I discovered Holotropic & Rebirthing Breathwork. Unlike the countless books, workshops, and therapy sessions I’d tried before, these deep breathing techniques addressed trauma at its most fundamental level, within the cells of my body.
For the first time, I understood that “our issues are in our tissues.” The trauma I’d carried wasn’t just mental, it was physically imprinted in my body, waiting to be released through conscious breathing.
Dynamic Activating Breathwork allowed me to:
- Release decades of unprocessed grief and abandonment.
- Experience emotions fully without being overwhelmed
- Connect with my authentic self and my HEART beneath layers of conditioning
- Find genuine peace not dependent on external circumstances
Freedom Beyond Anxiety and Depression
The transformation wasn't immediate, but it was profound. My mind gradually became spacious and peaceful. I stopped ruminating on problems and started experiencing genuine inner peace and presence. Most importantly, my relationships began to heal, especially the one with myself.
I discovered a capacity for unconditional love I never knew I possessed, particularly with my daughter, whom I could now support without attachment to outcomes. The freedom from anxiety and depression I'd sought for decades finally arrived, not through running or fixing, but through breathing and not being afraid of feeling.
Your Journey to Emotional Freedom
Today, as life coach I combine the most effective elements from my healing journey. Different types of Deep Breathwork, Bioenergetics, Reiki, Mindfulness Meditations, Sound Bath, and Coaching, to help others experience similar breakthroughs.
If you're struggling with:
- Persistent anxiety or depression that therapy hasn't resolved
- Childhood trauma that still impacts your relationships
- Emotional numbness or overwhelming feelings
- A sense that something is blocking your path to joy
I understand your pain because I've lived it. The path to emotional freedom isn't about forcing change, it's about releasing what your body has held onto for too long and allowing your natural state of wellbeing to emerge.
Your story doesn't have to end with anxiety and depression. Together, we can address the root causes of your emotional challenges and release the trauma stored in your body, allowing you to experience the peace, joy, and authentic connections you deserve. I would be honored to guide you on your healing journey.
My transformation with a Linda was dramatic and I accomplished more with her in a few months than I have in years of talk therapy. I have learned how to handle the immense grief that I have gone through after losing my mother at a young age.
I met Linda at a retreat in Costa Rica. Immediately I noticed her warm energy and how easy she was to talk to. I felt as though she would listen to me without judgment and provide valuable insights on life. I also took a breath work session with her in the jungle of Costa Rica and knew I wanted to explore this more.
I spent months with Linda as my life and breath work coach and I can say she changed my life. I have learned how to handle the immense grief that I have gone through after losing my mom at a young age, the tough relationship with a loved one, and overall how to handle stress and anxiety.
My transformation with a Linda was dramatic and I accomplished more with her in a few months than I have in years of talk therapy. We explored personal growth and much more. I am able to manage my stress by using her breath work techniques. I am eternally grateful for her and the work that I did with her. I also made a lifelong friend.

Linda is an amazing Breath therapist and Life Coach. I worked with her over several months and she helped me go through an incredible transformation.
The most obvious positive change was overcoming reliance on sleeping pills that I had needed nightly for over 5 years. Within just a handful of sessions I was off them and still am 6 months later!
I was also having an incredibly difficult and combative relationship with my mother whom I’m now a full time caregiver for. Our relationship flourished, we still have our moments, but it is workable. I can’t recommend Linda more if you are looking for deep and lasting positive changes in your life!
