Jessie Kilguss

Jessie was originally drawn to breathwork seeking a somatic approach to release energy and emotions and support a transformative process. As an active singer/songwriter/performer with a long history in meditative practice, Jessie is driven by creativity, compassion and the desire to help people. She enjoys guiding her clients to greater clarity, ease and transformation. Jessie holds space in her sessions by tuning into her clients’ emotions and areas where they may need attention to help guide them through their Breathwork process. She is inspired by witnessing her clients bring repressed emotions up to the surface, release them and allow space for the life they want to create.

Who should see Jessie?
Areas of focus and reasons to try Breathwork:

  • Clearing blocked emotions and energy from the body
  • Improving symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression
  • Promoting relaxation, clarity and energetic balancing
  • Cultivating a greater sense of well-being
  • Grounding from life transitions and life-changing events
  • Accessing creative flow
  • Support for artists and performers
  • Support for formerly incarcerated people and people affected by the criminal legal system

What to expect in a session:
Jessie approaches each client with the intention of creating a safe, supportive space for emotional and energetic release through the breath. During breathwork sessions, she begins by inviting presence and grounding, then guides clients through a dynamic three-part pranayama breathing sequence set to music. Her sessions are designed to quiet the mind and open the heart, allowing the body’s natural wisdom to take the lead in releasing stuck emotions, stress, and tension. Jessie’s intuitive guidance and warm energy help clients connect more deeply to themselves and access clarity and transformation.

In each Breathwork session, Jessie holds space for emotions to surface and move through the body, honoring the pace and experience of each individual. She offers gentle verbal cues and compassionate support to help clients navigate sensations or memories that arise during the breathwork process. After active breathing, she guides clients into a deep period of rest and integration, ensuring that the nervous system feels grounded and balanced. Jessie may offer insights or grounding practices post-session to help clients continue their healing process beyond the table, empowering them to cultivate greater ease, presence, and alignment in their daily lives.
