Hi, I'm Shyrell
Welcome to Whole Healing. I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a registered nurse and certified somatic breathwork practitioner supporting individuals experiencing chronic stress, chronic pain, and feeling disconnected from their bodies.
My own journey with autoimmune issues and chronic pain led me to explore a more whole-person approach to healing. Through mind-body practices, nervous system regulation and reconnecting with my body I began my own healing journey, one that continues to deepen and grow and also fuels my passion for offering this work to others.
I now support others by guiding somatic breathwork sessions in a compassionate and curious space where you can regulate your nervous system, reconnect with your body, and return to a more connected, present, and aligned version of yourself.
Somatic Breathwork
Somatic breathwork is a powerful body-based practice that uses conscious, connected breathing to support nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and a deeper connection to yourself.
In today's fast-paced and overstimulating world, it's easy to become disconnected from the body and live primarily in the mind. When this happens, stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotions don't simply disappear—they can become held within us as tension, protective patterns, and emotional pressure.
Through a continuous, rhythmic breathing pattern, somatic breathwork helps quiet the mind and reconnect you with the wisdom of your body. As you breathe, you are gently guided into deeper awareness, creating space to process emotions, release stored tension, and soften what you've been carrying.
This practice can support greater emotional resilience, reduce stress, increase self-awareness, and a deeper sense of peace and clarity. As layers begin to fall away, many people experience a renewed connection to themselves—feeling more grounded, regulated, and aligned in their everyday lives.
What to expect
Somatic Breathwork is a 60 minute, lying down, eyes closed journey. Each session begins with intention setting and a short grounding practice to get comfortable in the space and set the tone for the session.
You'll then be guided through conscious, connected breathing designed to gently activate the nervous system, increase body awareness, and support the natural expression of emotions and sensations held within the body.
Throughout the session, you'll be supported with music, guided cues and gentle verbal guidance to help you stay connected to your breath and body.
In the second half, the breath slows into a more regulating rhythm, allowing the nervous system to settle and connect with your true self. This phase supports a return to a more grounded state and creates space to connect with feelings of calm, clarity and openness.

Shyrell leads her sessions with compassion, gentleness and safety. She guides while allowing your body & own compass to do the work....I had a beautiful emotional release and felt much clearer, lighter & awakened during the breathing! Afterwards, she gave me the opportunity to share my experience. I felt so held & supported the whole time and I'm so grateful for Shy and this impactful work she is doing.
