Restorative Breathwork®

Restorative Breathwork® is a yin approach to breathwork that focuses on cultivating mindfulness of breath. Through rhythmic breathing practices and mindfulness practices clients become aware of inherent wisdom, or intelligence, within their natural breath. Old patterns of internalizing are uncovered and released which restores the freedom, expansiveness, and resiliency of our natural breath, deeply unwinds the nervous system, and brings clarity and peace to heart and mind. By returning the breath to its natural, resilient state we improve function throughout the entire human energy system. Each session begins with clarifying intention. Asking "why we are doing this work" which Eastern traditions teach us is just as important as the work itself allows us to release long held patterns. Each session is done on a massage table fully clothed, lying face up and begins with a brief guided relaxation to help you open to the expansiveness and healing power of the natural breath. 

Restorative Breathwork®: founded by Kathleen Barratt- The Barratt Breath Institute. Torre completed a 3-year intensive internship in Restorative Breathwork® which culminated in her receiving certification as a Restorative Breathwork® Facilitator. 

Breathwork has been shown to help in the management of acute and chronic pain, and the treatment of many disorders of the respiratory tract, muscle-skeletal system, and nervous system including asthma, COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, insomnia, anxiety, depression and irritable bowel system. But since this form of breathwork works energetically within the chakra system many other imbalances can be treated as well. 

Torre offers group workshops and sessions in Breathwork and in Breath-Yoga, a combination of Restorative Breathwork® and gentle yoga that balances the nervous system and energy centers (chakras.) She also offers Skype and Zoom virtual breathwork sessions where you can experience the profound effects of breathwork in the comfort of your own home. 

Pricing for group events may vary. Please contact her at ethinnant@yahoo.com for more information.

This natural approach to healing is based on the knowledge that the body and mind have an innate ability to move towards health. It is excellent for addressing respiratory, digestive, muscular/skeletal, endocrine, or psychological imbalances, and is a potent preventative medicine practice. Dr. Hinnant is also certified in Yoga of the Heart. Yoga of the Heart is specifically designed for people with heart disease or cancer and is used in the Dean Ornish Program for reversal of heart disease throughout the United States.

Medical Hypnosis

Medical hypnosis is a powerful therapy that utilizes relaxation techniques, intention, visualization and suggestion to enact healing. In the initial meeting a full medical history is obtained with specific focus on the issue to be addressed. In subsequent sessions hypnosis is performed using powerful images and suggestions that help the client to access the healing power within their own subconscious mind. The client is in a relaxed state and is conscious during the entire session. Medical Hypnosis treats many conditions including chronic pain, anxiety, depression, allergies, phobias, and Irritable bowel syndrome. Dr. Hinnant utilizes a 7 session protocol for Irritable Bowel Syndrome created by Dr. Palsson Psy.D of UNC Chapel Hill's Department of Medicine.
