Breath is one of the simplest and most powerful healing tools we have. It’s been a huge catalyst for my own healing during my recent mental health crisis (ep #88) and in my everyday life. I chatted with Jenn Mansell in episode 60about breathwork and what it is, and in today’s episode, we’re speaking with Samantha Skelly to dig deeper and learn how it can be a healing tool for disordered eating.

Samantha Skelly takes us through how breathwork helped her heal from her eating disorder and body image issues, and how it helps her clients do the same. We chat about how it connects the mind, heart, and body, and why we need to stop thinking and start letting our body do the healing. Get out of your head, into your body, take a deep breath and dive into the goodness of this episode.
