“All you need is a relaxed breath & butthole”

What is Root & Rapture™?
Root & Rapture™ is a breathwork lineage shaped by a sacred blend of somatic practice, ancestral reverence, and unapologetic pleasure. Born from the foundations of Chester Mainard’s Conscious Breathwork, this modality is deeply rooted in relaxed jaws and relaxed buttholes (yes, always)—and it blooms outward into something all its own.
It’s also seeded by Audre Lorde’s groundbreaking essay, The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power, and nourished by Ifa—a Yoruban spiritual knowledge system where the body & Spirit/Ancestors are in constant conversation. Root & Rapture is not just breathwork for calm—it’s breathwork for reclamation, for reawakening, for resistance.
Why this? Why now?
Because we are living through a time that is constantly asking us to clench: our jaws, our pelvic floors, our fists, our dreams.
Root & Rapture™ is an invitation to unclench—together. To breathe into the pain and the possibility. To make softness a strategy. To allow pleasure and breath to be the tools that return us to our sacred, sovereign selves. This practice gives us the fuel to resist, not solely in mind or action, but in body and spirit.

Registration Rates
Instead of a sliding scale I have 3 different payment tiers. All tiers give access to the same information/attention. There is nothing you have to prove to me about your financial situation, I don't ask for your tax returns or pay stubs. I simply ask that you do some honest reflection about your current financial reality from a mindset of abundance rather than one of scarcity & then choose the tier meets that reality.
The tiers are named as they are to reflect the amount of “green” you have access to. The Meadow Tier is my “market rate”; Garden Tier is for those for whom market rate would be a hardship; and Savanna Tier is for those with abundant discretionary income. Paying Savanna Tier supports my ability to work with those with less financial resources, as well as continue to offer free sessions globally to BIPOC.
Payment plans, “Passion Pals”,
limited Pay-What-You-Can &
limited work-trade slots available.
