Detox Breathwork: A Path to Transformation, Clarity & Nervous System Healing
In June, our community had the incredible opportunity to experience something truly transformative: a Detox Breathwork session led by the remarkable Jackie Napoli. This wasn’t your average breathwork class—it was a full-body, full-soul reset. If you missed it, let this be your invitation to discover what makes this work so unique.
What Is Detox Breathwork?
Detox breathwork is a continuous breathing technique done entirely through the mouth for an extended period—typically around 30 minutes. What makes it “detoxifying” isn’t just about eliminating toxins from the body, but also about clearing emotional and mental clutter. The breath is 80% belly, 20% chest, and fully guided, allowing you to release what’s been stored in your nervous system, your body, and your mind.
As Jackie says, “What you put in is what you get out.” And trust us—what you get out is profound.
30 Years of Therapy in One Session
As someone who’s been practicing breathwork for over 30 years, I approached this session with curiosity—but also with a sense of familiarity. That changed within minutes. This method was unlike anything I’d ever experienced. The intensity, the breakthrough, the weightlessness afterward—it felt like 30 years of therapy condensed into one powerful session.
That’s the magic of detox breathwork.
The Science and Soul Behind the Breath
Jackie blends somatic healing with neuroscience. The practice helps regulate the nervous system by guiding you out of a fight-or-flight state and into a deeply restorative space of presence and parasympathetic calm.
In her words, “Your prefrontal cortex shuts down, and that’s when the clarity comes. That’s when people find bliss, peace, even weightlessness.”
This isn’t just emotional work—it’s physiological, neurological, and transformative on every level.
Why the Guide Matters
A huge part of what makes Jackie’s detox breathwork sessions so impactful is her. While your eyes are closed and headphones on, you can feel her presence in the room. She’s actively guiding, supporting, and holding space in a way that allows people to fully surrender.
Participants describe feeling seen, held, and empowered—even in total silence. And in that safe space, breakthroughs happen.
A Full-Body Emotional Reset
We live in our heads. Constant thought loops, overanalyzing, worrying, ruminating—this is the norm. What detox breathwork does is disrupt that pattern by turning down the noise of the mind and giving space for the body to speak.
It allows deeply buried feelings to rise, be seen, and be released.
As Jackie reminds us, “Thoughts are in our head, but feelings are in the body. We have to let them surface in order to truly heal.”
Final Thoughts
If you’re ready to break through emotional stagnation, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with the power of your breath, detox breathwork might be exactly what you need.
It’s more than a session—it’s a reset. A remembering. A return to yourself.
