Breathwork for Regulating Rapid Heart Rate and Palpitations

Find calm, balance, and safety in your body

If you’ve ever felt your heart racing out of nowhere, struggled with palpitations that left you anxious, or experienced the spiral of shallow breathing and panic, you’re not alone. Breathwork is a powerful, research-supported practice that helps calm the nervous system, slow a rapid heartbeat, and bring your body back into a state of safety. This service guides you through simple, accessible techniques to regulate your breath, ease physical discomfort, and quiet the racing thoughts that often come with stress, anxiety, or trauma-related symptoms.

- Experience episodes of rapid heart rate, heart palpitations, or panic attacks
- Struggle with anxiety, PTSD, or chronic stress that affects breathing and heart rhythm
- Live with symptoms of dysautonomia, POTS, or nervous system dysregulation
- Have difficulty falling asleep or wake often due to racing heart or shallow breath
- Feel overstimulated, on edge, or caught in “fight, flight, or freeze” responses
- Want natural, non-medication strategies to calm their body and mind

- Reduce anxiety-driven physical symptoms like shortness of breath, dizziness, or chest tightness
- Feel more grounded and safe in their body after trauma or stress-related experiences
- Improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system before bed

What to expect
During sessions, you’ll be guided through gentle, structured breathing techniques that target heart rate regulation and nervous system balance. You’ll learn how to use your breath as a tool in moments of stress—whether during a panic attack, before sleep, or when overwhelmed. Practices may include paced breathing, diaphragmatic breath, and calming techniques designed to shift your body into a state of rest and recovery.
You’ll leave each session with practical tools you can use daily, no matter where you are—at home, at work, or in moments of unexpected stress.

Why choose this service
What makes this approach unique is its integration of evidence-based techniques with trauma-informed care. Rather than a “one-size-fits-all” breathing exercise, sessions are tailored to your individual symptoms, health history, and goals. The focus is on helping you feel safe, supported, and empowered to use your breath as a reliable anchor for calming your heart and mind.
