How A Nurse Left The Hospital To Heal Through Breath, Sound, And Somatics

Send us a text

What if the clearest answers aren’t in your head, but in your breath? We sit down with Jessica, a nurse of 17 years who walked away from the ICU and into a calling that blends breathwork, sound healing, and somatic coaching. The move wasn’t tidy, fast, or Instagram-perfect. It was shaky, faithful, and grounded in a simple shift: listen to the body, trust God’s nudges, and build a business that serves real humans under real stress.

We dig into the messy middle of reinvention—quitting without a detailed roadmap, facing money fears, and unhooking identity from job titles. Jessica breaks down the science of calm in plain language: how longer exhales recruit your parasympathetic system, why crystal bowls and vocal vibration change how you feel, and what “somatic” actually means when you’re trying to decode headaches, anger, or constant reactivity. Along the way, we clear the air on “woo” vs. evidence, share a short guided breath practice you can use today, and explore sacred rage as a safe, honest way to let emotion move without hurting anyone.

There’s a powerful thread of faith through it all. Jessica talks about losing and finding language for God, choosing openness over fear, and how surrender opens the right doors at the right time—like bringing breath and sound sessions into courtrooms and offices where burnout is more rule than exception. We also travel through her 10-day silent retreat: no phones, no eye contact, just the discipline of stillness and the medicine of chant, proving that silence can be a teacher when the world gets loud.

If you’re craving nervous system tools, compassionate self-leadership, and a permission slip to evolve, you’ll feel seen here. Press play to learn practical breathwork, feel the power of sound, and remember that your body’s wisdom isn’t a last resort—it’s the starting point.
