Regulate your body.
Reclaim your life.
Pura Vida Collective was founded on a simple truth: lasting change begins in the nervous system. Through breathwork, nervous system regulation, and somatic practices, we help you move out of chronic stress and into a state of safety and control.
Our approach combines science-backed techniques with compassionate guidance to help you regulate your body, break patterns of anxiety and overwhelm, and build sustainable emotional resilience.
This isn’t just about healing; it’s about transformation. When your body feels safe, you think clearer, act with confidence, and have the energy to create the life you actually want.

Our one-on-one sessions are personalized, trauma-informed experiences designed to meet you exactly where you are—emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Using breathwork, nervous system regulation, and somatic practices, we help you reduce stress, build emotional resilience, and restore a sense of balance and control in your body.

Our breathwork classes are guided, community-based experiences designed to help you regulate your nervous system, release stored stress, and reconnect with your body.
Each class combines somatic grounding, intentional breathwork, and guided emotional processing to support deeper awareness and lasting change—while always allowing you to move at your own pace.
These sessions help improve emotional regulation, reduce stress, and create a sense of connection, clarity, and balance.
Offered both in person and virtually, classes provide consistent support beyond one-on-one sessions and retreats.

Connie
Connie’s journey into mind-body healing began in 2012 during a challenging season that led her to explore the connection between emotional and physical health. Through her own experience, she discovered how unresolved stress, grief, and patterns can manifest in the body—and how powerful true healing can be.
Inspired by her transformation, Connie became a Certified Life Coach and trained in modalities including Associative Awareness Technique, Vibrational Energy Healing, The Emotion Code, and Bioenergetics. Today, she supports clients through a holistic, personalized approach to ease anxiety, reduce pain, and help them feel more clear, energized, and empowered.
