I didn't realize they had a Yelp page... I learned so much more than I thought I would by taking…read moreThe Breath Center's AOA program. It has sculpted my outlook on life in an incredibly powerful, positive, and permanent way. I am not a full-time breathwork or healing arts facilitator. I am a DJ, music producer, writer, and performer. AOA is for everyone and I hope that as many people discover it as possible! I don't expect it to resonate with everyone (it's too special for that) but I know how much it has helped and impacted me personally and professionally so I'm always thrilled to hear when new people discover it. Tons of Breathwork to choose from, right? The Breath Center's AOA (Anatomy Of Awakening) program is the most comprehensive Breathwork Certification program in existence. It is one of the only legal institutions for Breathwork in North America. Michael is one of the only breathwork facilitators who has bothered to get permission from the elders to be teaching these ancient and lineage-based techniques. He is also one of the only teachers willing to share the truth about what these practices are, where they come from, and what their deeper meaning is for us as a species. There are a lot of facilitators out there who either don't know the origins of this work or who are hiding it and giving credit to themselves and their (re)brand of it instead, keeping participants in the dark (and disempowered). I'm passionate about this topic because I've heard way too many stories of people "trying breathwork", having a negative experience, and deciding that breathwork is not for them. That is absolutely tragic!! This is one of the best healing modalities on Earth and it should be accessible to everyone. Unfortunately most of the mainstream "Breathworkers" are not carrying and sharing this practice responsibly and sooner or later, breathwork is going to be villainized, just like plant medicines were (and likely will be again). I put the word "breathwork" in quotations as much as possible because it's not the original name of these techniques, it is just a Western rebrand of something way older and way more sacred. To learn more, take AOA! I discovered The Breath Center at Bhakti Fest in 2015. It was the first time I'd experienced something similar to my plant medicine experiences without drinking a plant. I was absolutely intrigued and signed up for Michael Brian Baker's training program to learn more (actually to breathe more, I had no plans on becoming a facilitator myself). Back then there were Modules I, II, and III. Now there is a deeper program called AOA that allows graduates to be Certified by The Academy of Integrated Human Sciences®. Fancy title aside, if you are truly interested in this work and you want to get a proper education in it that will leave you feeling like you know what tf you're doing should you ever decide to facilitate it for others, please take this program. The future of "breathwork" and those who will either be incredibly helped or hurt by it depend on it. I'm happy to hop on a call with anyone to discuss more and Michael offers FREE 30-MINUTE consultations so take advantage of that. It's 2024 as I write this and 9 years later, I'm still a huge fan of this work and I share it regularly at the Soul of Yoga studio in Encinitas alongside Marcela and a couple other certified teachers. Come check out our Breathwork Class if you never have! Available online & recorded as well as in-person.

It's impossible to be around Master Sio and not feel changed for the better in some way. He exudes…read morea calm, peaceful, fun, happy, love that is so nice to be around. Master Sio is a real deal healer and I am so grateful we met years ago. His students become powerful healers also, and they stay connected, give their time & energy to participate in Master Sio's events, without pay, because they love him. As soon as I arrived at the retreat, I felt my monkey-mind beginning to settle down, and as the day began & we all met each other & had breakfast, my breathing began to ease, and the calm started to spread. This is just the effect Master Sio has on a room. With each new meditation and healing we connected together more as a group. Master Sio's Silent Retreat was exactly what I needed in my life. A lot can be communicated without noise; a concept my family is thrilled I finally learned. I continue to feel the peace and freedom I experienced this past weekend, and am ready for this to be a quarterly event.

I owe it to this prayer for helping me to turn negative energy around each time, and as a result, I am able to attract prosperity to my life. I have to say that you must be open to giving as well as receiving. Once you become greedy, it will not work. Learn to accept God, and what the universe gives you. Let the energy flow through you and pass it on to others as well. Blessings and prosperity will come to you when you are not expecting it." ************************** I left a review years ago in 2016, and since then, I have found much improvement in my life from practicing QiGong and visiting with Master Sio. I have been seeing Master Sio to help treat various physical and mental issues, and had found great relief and treatments for various conditions through practicing and participating in medical qigong and through Master Sio's treatment sessions. Even my pup has seen Master Sio, and has found great benefit in our therapy sessions. Previously, I mentioned that Master Sio practices "Hawaiian QiGong", different from the Chinese art, however, to clarify, it is really a practice of QiGong (cultivating and practice of moving energy), combined with traditional Hawaiian "Aloha" (unconditional love). It may be hard to comprehend in the beginning, but actually very simple, though, it is a gift that not everyone has, and a practice that takes decades to cultivate, that of which Master Sio has mastered. If you are in tune with energy (or even not in tune) you will feel this amazing energy and love from a visit with Master Sio. Those in doubt are often turned around. If you are open to being healed in some form, or want to let go of extra baggage, or a subconscious issue you did not even know about, I highly recommend a visit with Master Sio.

Dr. Jenn takes time to get to know each patient and approaches treatment as something individualized rather than one-size-fits-all. She spends time talking with patients before and after sessions and seems genuinely invested in helping people integrate the experience beyond the appointment itself. The environment also deserves mention. The space feels thoughtfully designed -- comfortable, calm, and welcoming -- and I think that set and setting make a meaningful difference in the overall experience. It doesn't feel like a typical medical clinic; it feels more personal and supportive. The staff has consistently been kind, professional, and attentive, which contributes to feeling at ease throughout the process. For anyone who feels like they've tried a lot of different approaches already, this may be worth exploring. My experience was that the combination of individualized care, environment, and support made all the difference.

From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by the owner, Japa. She couldn't have been nicer!
