What People Are Saying…

  • "If you have an opportunity to work with Sterling in any capacity - do it!! Just being in her presence feels like a gift. I’ve done a few breath work sessions with her and she is incredible. I can’t wait for an opportunity to go on one of her retreats."

    Jill

  • “I recently participated in Sterling’s Altered State Breathwork Ceremony, and the experience was transformative. Sterling is a true healer, guiding each of us through the journey with incredible care and compassion. The space she cultivated felt safe and sacred. Sterling’s presence and energy were palpable, creating an environment where profound healing and personal transformation could occur. Her intuitive guidance and support throughout the ceremony was genuinely extraordinary. If you are seeking a powerful and uplifting experience, I highly recommend attending one of Sterling’s ceremonies. She is a beacon.”

    Abigail

  • “I did the altered state breathwork & tea ceremony and I highly recommend that everyone experience it. I have never done anything quite like it and am glad I did. I felt tingling sensations in my body, had visuals that I’m still reflecting upon, and overall had an emotional release that changed me. I will be regularly making this a part of my therapeutic practice.”

    Matthew

  • "This was my first ever breathwork ceremony, and I was honestly pretty shocked by how much I felt! I didn't really know what to expect, and I think that helped me out because I was open to the process: the release and receiving of the practice. Sterling's presence is calming and reassuring. Even as she explained the uncomfortable parts of a group ceremony (talking openly to people you've never met before) I felt like I belonged there, I felt safe. A recurring theme throughout the ceremony is safety. The breathwork is a physical experience as much as it is mindful, and I felt a sense of being grounded the entire time. My body was more relaxed than it's ever been, and my mind felt tuned inward - I was focused on myself and only myself. I felt a presence of my younger self, forgiveness for what she went through, and gratitude for the safety I've created for her. I cried... I think everyone in the group did. A few people in class said "I need this in my life everyday," and I agree! Absolutely a cool experience and a practice I will consider making part of my healing journey."

    Kerri

  • “Sterling’s Breathwork Ceremonies are completely life changing and transformational. Her powerful presence, creation of setting, perfect soundtrack, and space holding ability provided the safety and encouragement I needed to go deep within and receive healing. I experienced my first breathwork session with Sterling over a month ago, and I am still seeing the effects in every area of my life. I was finally able to move through grief and get to expansive love. And it stuck!”
