Partner Profile – Heather Waxman
Welcome! I’m Heather. I teach people how to clear the patterns keeping them stuck, level-up their spiritual connection, and live life in-alignment with their soul’s true essence.
So, what qualifies me to be able to support you along your spiritual path?
It is my intention that this about page can provide several answers to this question, in an effort to cultivate a relationship of greater trust and understanding. The work that I do is very intimate – you are becoming willing to let me hold space for the inner workings of your mind, body, heart, and soul. So, I believe it is my job to be honest and in-integrity with you so that we can create a relationship built on trust, heart connection, authenticity, and understanding.
My name is Heather Waxman and I am here to guide you along your spiritual path and finding your voice in this world. I hold space for sensitive, kind, big-hearted people like you to unlock their intuitive gifts, heal anxiety and depression, experience peace in their body, and tap into their creative self-expression through spiritual practice. I do this through a variety of offerings: 1:1 coaching, group coaching, guided meditations + breathwork practices, writing, and sound healing.
I combine my eight years of devotion to mastering my own spiritual practice with my worldly credentials as a spiritual life coach, certified Angelic Breath Healing teacher, Kundalini yoga + meditation teacher, and soon-to-be licensed couples + family therapist.

Welcome to Breathwork for Beginners: A Six-Part Video Series
Why Breathwork? In this video, Heather welcomes you to this six-part Breathwork for Beginners video series and shares with you why Breathwork is one of the most effective ways to support your mental health, decrease stress, increase your immunity, and so much more! Let’s dive in. -
Session 1 - The Anytime Breath
If you practiced no other breath work practice for the rest of your life except this one, your whole life would change! Most of us breathe shallowly through our mouth. The best to breathe is through your nose. In this video, Heather teaches you how to effectively practice deep nostril breathing not just in an isolated practice but also through your entire life, so that you can experience less stress and anxiety, greater peace and calm, enhanced focus & vitality, and increased immunity. -
Session 2 - Alternate Nostril Breathing (Nadi Shodhana)
Oh, the magic of your nostrils! In this video, Heather teaches you how you can use alternate nostril breathing to harmonize the hemispheres of your brain, creating a state of mental balance, deep concentration, alertness, and inner peace. Heather also teaches you how you can instantly change your mood and feeling-state by isolating the nostril that you choose to breathe through. This simple, powerful technique is one you’ll want to keep in your back pocket for daily use! -
Session 3 - The Whistle Breath
In this simple and fun breathwork practice, Heather guides you through the power of combining slow + deep breathing, pursing your lips, and yep — whistling! Breath, sound, and mouth positioning is a triple-threat powerhouse combination because it optimally stimulates and tones your vagus nerve! This is an excellent breath to practice anytime you’re feeling controlling, compulsive, or over-reactive and also wonderful to teach the kiddos in your life! Have fun coming back home to a state of calm with The Whistle Breath! -
Session 4 - Breath of Fire
In this video, Heather teaches you to build upon the power of nostril breathing with this short-and-sweet practice: Breath of Fire. This breath is an equal inhale-exhale breath through the nose and releases toxins from the lungs, blood vessels, and cells, boosts your immune system, increases oxygen delivery to the brain (helping you to become more focused, vital, and intelligent), and strengthens your nervous system to resist stress. Start slow and work your way up gradually to seven minutes to re-set your entire nervous system. Embrace your pace!
Disclaimer: Please do not practice this breath if you are pregnant, on the first three days of your menstrual cycle, or have any pre-existing lung or heart conditions. Please consult your doctor before practicing! -
Session 5 - Breath Cleansing Kriya
In this 41-minute practice, Heather guides you through a nourishing, gentle, and powerful breath practice that combines all of the practices you’ve learned over the past four videos. This longer practice will allow you to take your breathwork practice to a deeper and more impactful level, in addition to balancing your blood chemistry and your mental attitude. This kriya works to strengthen and balance your immune + nervous systems, release stress, anxiety, and depression, assists you in being more creatively sharp, decreases emotional reactivity, and breathe more consciously. -
Session 6 - Breathwork to Get Unstuck
In this video, Heather teaches you a powerful three-part active breathwork practice through the mouth. This breathwork is a therapeutic, self-healing practice. The breath pattern works like energetic Drano, activating the spaces within us where our life force energy (chi, prana, etc.) has been stuck or stagnant in our body + energy centers as well as the places where we’ve been harboring stress, anxiety, grief, and depression in our sympathetic nervous system. In this way, Breathwork really is a true mind-body-spirit cleansing practice. It clears the gunk away so you can come home to yourself. Get cozy, settle in, and let’s breathe!
Medical Disclaimer: If you have any pre-existing heart or lung conditions, are pregnant, have epilepsy, or any other pre-exisiting medical conditions, please check with your doctor before practicing this breath.
