"I didn't think I was a breathwork person until I tried it with Aimée. I was nervous at first, but Aimée makes you feel so supported and safe. It's clear that every person and every experience is welcomed with open arms. Breathwork with Aimée is fun, set to *great* music, and the perfect blend of an active and restorative healing practice. You won't regret it."

Sofia A.

"Oh - not enough words of gratitude for Aimee. I was introduced to her several years ago and I can't imagine life without her. She approaches each session with listening, compassion, gentle suggestions, kindness and then .. then she just does her thing. I melt away and come back feeling refreshed, cleaner, lighter, healed. I walk out of a session with her floating on air, smiling and feeling like a new person. I love that she loves her job and that shows in her work. I can't say enough praise for her work. Am truly thankful for her and her gift."

Holliday H.

"Aimée is one of the best healers I've ever met: kind, patient, and exacting. She listens attentively to all my needs -- always with a remarkable calm, I might add -- and tailors each of our sessions to them. I leave my treatments completely refreshed, ready to take on life in the City once more. I cannot say enough good things about the uniquely gifted, magical Aimée."

Nic C.

"Aimee's practice has been a cornerstone in my healing journey over the last 5 years. The modalities she offers have been so supportive in helping me to process emotional and physical pain. So grateful for Aimee and her practice!"

Taryn B.

"Aimée has the gift that not all healers can claim to have: the one to actually help you heal...
Her dedication is to truly help you on the journey you are on, to get to where you have set your intentions.
She is can handle to work with your shadow or light alike. Her presence is very intuitive & caring, and she is deeply empathetic & really joyful, yet, with impeccable emotional boundaries that are much needed for what she is doing."

Catherine M.

"Aimee is an extremely talented healer. Her intuition and passion for this work amazes me every time I see her. Even when I don't feel like I need a cry or when I feel like I'm doing OK she manages to assist me in going deeper and excavating sludge I didn't know I was carrying. In fact, I am going to schedule an appointment right now! She is wonderful and will help you beyond your expectations."

Kristen G.

"I found Aimée through an in person breathwork session right before the Pandemic. She held space and guided a room full of strangers in a manner that felt so inviting, comfortable and safe. I'd only done breathwork a few times previously, but this particular session was so heart opening and releasing that I wanted to return. Unfortunately, the pandemic made in person sessions impossible. Fortunately, Aimée took her breathwork online and I proceeded to attend her monthly breathwork sessions for the next year. These sessions were crucial for guiding me through an incredibly difficult year and provided a regular space for releasing. Aimée's sessions have a perfect balance of guidance and bringing you back when breathing becomes difficult or the mind unfocused while also letting her wonderfully curated playlist take you on the journey. Her guidance and voice do not overpower the experience but instead come in gently and intuitively when you need a little push to release or come back to the breathe. I highly recommend breathwork sessions with Aimée."

Lynn E.

"Aimée is a phenomenal healer. I have received several breathwork and Healing Touch sessions from her and no matter the modality, she creates a very relaxed and safe environment. I'm always deeply impressed with Aimée's compassion and loving acceptance of all things human. She makes it easy to release the stress of the outside world so you can be free to show up for your own work in a really powerful way. I leave her office walking taller, thinking clearer and feeling more deeply. She's a special human and I recommend her work to anyone who finds themselves on this page."

You can’t think your way to feeling at ease in your body, or in your life… but you know this, right?

Because you’ve already tried.

I have a feeling that you know what your challenges are. The pains, the sticky stuff, the beliefs and stories you hold close, not sure you could ever fully share with another or truly see change. You’ve read the books, done the therapy(ies), and brought other meditation and healing practices into your life. There's no doubt, these practices have all had an important place in helping you understand yourself and heal, moving you along your path.

But still, you can't shake the sense that there’s so much more.

Because, more is awaiting you! The next exploration in your healing is to move towards landing in safety, trust, and ease in and through your body, maybe for the first time.

Alongside love, joy, and compassion, our unique experiences include pain, fear, trauma, grief, and inherited or learned beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. Some of this may be conscious – and you have probably already thought your way around (and around) all of the challenges you’ve experienced in your life – but much of it lies tucked away in your body, beyond the realm of your mind’s understanding. But the body is wise, and has been holding this all until you were ready. It is your primary source of your own deep wisdom and guidance.

Enter Breathwork:

Breathwork is a simple tool that supports us in dropping down into our bodies and accessing the stored energies, emotions, and memories that are not readily available to our conscious minds, but are usually what’s in the way of the ease we crave in our lives.

This powerful modality helps us to move deeper and directly access our nervous systems and our unique physiological and emotional patterning.

I believe that, more than ever before, now is the time to build and deepen our sustainable self-healing practices. To keep going, to keep exploring our inner landscapes and cosmos, and to bring the gems we uncover up and out to offer to our world.

Each month, we gather together to explore a different theme through our Breathwork practice.

These themes are (optional) springboards you can use to examine things from a different angle or dive into an aspect of your inner experience during our breathwork journeys. Some doorways we might walk through include...

Forgiveness and letting go of the past
Navigating big changes and life transitions
Healing family relationships and lineage
Nourishing supportive boundaries
Visiting with less celebrated emotional states, like fear, anxiety, and anger
Attuning to the energies of each season
Self-love and embodiment
Grief, loss, and heartbreak
Uncertainty, hope, and grace
Climate grief
Creativity and creative practice
And expanding our vision for the future

My goal is to create the least aggressive, least pushy, most inviting, and most welcoming breathwork gathering you've ever encountered.

It’s completely ok if not all of these topics resonate with you, or if you’re not sure if you want to go into some of them. I know, it can feel a little intimidating at times, especially if this is new to you! Something people often tell me is that they can feel a bit nervous before lying down to do breathwork -- of maybe feeling and getting into all the things they've been holding -- but then are so relieved and joyous when they actually get into the practice.

In this membership and all the spaces I hold, you are welcome exactly as you are, even if you’re not sure about the topic. Feel free to place it to the side! Each breathwork journey you show up for will take you exactly where you need to go that day, regardless of the theme. We are all at different places in our process and our capacity, and that’s part of the beauty of joining together as a group – to recognize that while we have much in common, we are each unique!

While I’m not the only Breathwork facilitator out there, I am the only one who sees and does things through my unique prism of professional and personal experience. No matter where you are on your path of discovery, I’m here to help you contact an expansive, loving space inside yourself where you feel comfortable and open to welcoming relief, beauty, spaciousness, and hope.

“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”

Carl Jung

What happens in a Virtual Breathwork Workshop?

Your Breathwork journey begins the moment you say YES to your inner curiosity and sign up.

The way that I lead Breathwork is...

Before the workshop begins...

At the start of each workshop...

Toward the end of each workshop...

I’m Aimée Derbes, DACM, LAc

(Pronounced something like “AE-MAY”)

Since becoming a Certified Breathwork Healer in 2018, I have observed through many one on one sessions and group workshops that Breathwork complements other healing methods (such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, reiki, therapy, and so on) beautifully. A somatic active meditation practice, Breathwork offers a different way of accessing and clearing whatever might lie in between you and a fuller experience of life. By supporting you in both releasing and receiving more, this technique can help shift body and mind into a more receptive mode, allowing your other healing treatments to penetrate more deeply.

I’m also a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, herbalist, New Yorker, and cat mom to the hilarious and delightful Nisha. I love (love!) the work I get to do helping people like you shift your physiological and emotional experience and welcome more resilience, presence, and joy in your life.

Wondering if Virtual Breathwork is for you?

Spoiler: It is.

Because we all have the gift of breath, Breathwork is for most people: even if you have experienced anxiety or panic attacks; even if you have a history of asthma; even if you live with chronic pain; and more. If you have questions about whether and how breathwork may or may not be a fit for your unique circumstances, please ask me or explore more details here.

Sure, in person breathwork is nice – if you happen to have access to it! This practice is just as powerful over the internet, and for some of us, even more so – the beauty of virtual Breathwork is that you can connect to this guided group container from the privacy and comfort of your own space at home. While I’ll be with you live over Zoom to guide your experience, you’ll be free to move, make sounds, close or open your eyes, shift your position, take a moment to rest, and more, to adjust the experience to your safety and needs.

Through Breathwork, we can connect to our deeper selves beyond our everyday minds, move stuck energy and emotions, and expand our ability to engage with the richness of our lives.

The world needs healthy, flexible, open, and generous humans now more than ever – and that begins and expands from within each one of us.

As your guide, it’s my job to make sure all these expansive features of your spirit – your openness, your flexibility, your multidimensionality and compassion – are brought to the surface and continuously fed.

This is what I’ve been looking for! Add me to the Waitlist ->
