Awaken the Wisdom Within

Are you
Feeling stuck or held back?
Craving clarity or a deeper connection to what matters?
Caught in patterns that no longer serve you?
Living with pain and sensing there’s more beneath it?
Healing from a loss or major life shift?
Longing to feel more grounded, alive, and present?
Seeking a space that honors your pace and truth?

Through the Power of Your Own Breath

It's not about changing.
It’s about remembering.

I often hear:

“I don’t know what I want.”
“I can’t feel my heart.”
“I don’t know who I am anymore.”

Of course not.
Most of us were raised hearing:

“You’re too much.”
 “Not enough.”
 “Be quiet.”
 “Do better.”
 “I’m disappointed in you.”

So we adapted.
We shut down parts of ourselves to stay safe.
We disconnected from our feelings, our body, and our truth.

Over time, this protective armor leaves us stuck:

• A tense body.
• A buried heart.
• Reactivity we don’t understand.
• No clarity. Just… survival.

But your essence hasn’t gone anywhere.
It’s still here—just waiting for space and safety to re-emerge.

What is BBTRS?

BBTRS (Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release System) is a gentle yet powerful somatic approach that helps release long-held tension, stress, and emotional blocks unconsciously stored in the body. Using conscious breathing as its foundation, BBTRS also weaves in movement, touch, sound, emotional expression, and meditation to support deep healing and inner connection.

This method helps soften areas of physical and emotional holding—often built up from past trauma, early life challenges, or long-term stress—so the body can safely release stored fight, flight, or freeze energy and return to a natural state of balance.


Inspired by the trauma healing work of Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing®, BBTRS invites you to tune into the wisdom of your body through sensation, movement, and felt sense—opening the door to more ease, clarity, and aliveness.

What Happens in a Session?

You don’t need any experience—just curiosity and openness. I’ll guide you gently to connect with your breath and body through conscious connected breathing and movement. You might notice emotions, memories, or sensations surfacing—that’s part of the process. You’re not alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way. Over time, these small shifts help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to your truth.

What My Clients Have Experienced

  • “My sessions with Yuko have been profound and transformational- truly a medicine I didn’t know I needed as much as I did. I found a deepened trust in my body thanks to safety Yuko creates and the tender space she holds. She is so nurturing and shows up as a mother, a friend, a sister, a witness, a comrade, a guide, and a guardian. With a gentle touch and a strong conviction, she will help you go to the depths of liberation and remind you of the wisdom of your own body.”

    Celine du T, Psychotherapist / Sound Practitioner / Meditation Guide from NYC

  • “After a long period of hard work, stress, and confusion, I felt the need to regain control and reconnect with myself. By chance, I came across Yuko’s breathwork practice, and it immediately sparked my interest. The method felt just right—simple and accessible, using my own breath, with supportive guidance from a confident practitioner. Yuko began by explaining the purpose of the session: to reconnect with the body, release stored tension, and restore balance. Her calm and grounded presence made me feel safe, relaxed, and focused. As she guided me deeper into the breathing, I began to feel physical sensations and shifts right away. The mindful practice helped me listen to myself more clearly. I felt energized and present. I really appreciated Yuko’s gentle and intuitive support—it helped me let go of overthinking and fully experience the moment. I warmly recommend her to anyone looking for a meaningful way to reconnect with themselves.”

    Christina B, Researcher from Sweden

  • “I had always been a little fearful of breathwork because I thought that, in order to get the release I wanted, I would have to force myself to breathe or hyperventilate. But when I tried the BBTRS method facilitated by Yuko, my perspective on breathwork completely changed. Yuko used a variety of techniques to guide my attention while I was breathing. For example, she would ask me to focus on the sensations in my body, follow her finger movements with my eyes, or move, dance, or shout—freestyle, however my body wanted to. It was surprisingly fun, very relaxing, and also exhilarating. I found myself breathing deeply and releasing a lot—without even trying. After the first session, I couldn't wait to book another. I highly recommend her sessions to anyone who feels the same way about breathwork as I once did!”

    Shiho K, Filmmaker from NYC

  • “From the moment I met Yuko, I felt peaceful and at ease in her presence, which is notable as this is difficult for my body to feel around others. Her presence helped me to feel safely held as she skillfully guided me through the series of breathwork sessions. Our work together has been integral in my process of continued healing and integration. Through her guidance, I have been able to achieve greater insights, self-acceptance, and self-love. She is one of the most genuine, loving, and inspiring people I’ve met. Her attentive, warm and easy demeanor creates a container that allows for deeper vulnerability and inner transformation. When I speak with her, I know I will be deeply seen and heard, and that her wisdom will meet me exactly where I am most in need of support and guidance. I cannot speak highly enough of Yuko and her work!”

    Jessica A, PHD, Psychotherapist, California

  • “I highly recommend working with Yuko for breathwork. Whether you're new to breathwork or have experience, Yuko is a beautiful person to work with. She truly has the capacity to sit with and hold space for whatever you're going through. I felt completely relaxed, able to allow and let the medicine of breathwork work through me. I always left feeling less anxious. Sometimes I had more energy, other times I felt deeply relaxed—but every time, I felt much better than when I started. Yuko is a great communicator and clearly has a deep love for what she does. I feel she’s given me a new tool I can carry with me for the rest of my life. And I know she’ll be there whenever I’m ready to go deeper. Thank you, Yuko, for your medicine!”
