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 illness, 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 body-based practice that uses conscious, circular breathing to support nervous system regulation, emotional expression, and reconnection to the body.
In a world with constant noise and information, it’s easy to live primarily in the mind, causing a disconnection from the body. When we become disconnected from the body, stress, trauma, and unprocessed emotions don’t simply disappear — they can become held within us through tension, protective patterns, and stored emotional pressure. We lose touch with the body's natural ability to express and release what it's been holding.
Somatic breathwork is an invitation to come back home to your body to release the pressure and shed the layers of yourself that no longer serve you.
Through guided breath, you are gently supported in expressing what’s been held beneath the surface, allowing that internal pressure to soften and move.
As you reconnect with your body and slowly soften, space begins to open, allowing you to remember your true self - a more grounded, regulated, compassionate version of yourself.
What to expect
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.

I wanted to mention ever since the breathwork session I have felt a lot lighter and almost like a form of relief but at the same time definitely more emotional...thank you for asking me to do this with you and allowing me to experience this. You have made a difference for me and I know you will continue to in a lot of others lives.

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.
