Hello, I’m Sedar.
My path began as a furniture maker, working with my grandfather's hand tools and learning the value of patience, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Over time, that passion evolved into building Shepherd and Gypsy wagons—each one shaped by tradition, dedication, and a deep respect for the creative process.
After completing my 70th wagon, I set my tools aside, unaware of what was about to emerge. What followed was an unexpected journey inward: one that led me from building structures in the physical world to helping create space for healing, self-discovery, and transformation within.
Today, I guide individuals through a safe, rhythmic exchange of breath, moving at a pace that allows the mind and body to enter a state of deep calm and bliss. Through these journeys, individuals may begin to release the unnecessary obstacles that keep them from living with greater ease, clarity, and purpose.
how i work
Shamanic breathwork practices are deeply rooted in ancient Hindu and Yogic traditions of India, where conscious breathing techniques have been preserved and documented for thousands of years. Throughout history, many other cultures developed and adapted similar practices, each expressing them in ways that reflected their own unique spiritual, healing, and ceremonial traditions.
With the guidance of a trained facilitator, breathwork can become a powerful tool for healing, balance, and personal transformation.
Individuals who have experienced long-standing challenges related to PTSD, trauma, addiction, grief, and other forms of emotional distress have reported meaningful personal transformation and improvements in their overall well-being through participation in these traditional practices.
Shamanic breathwork begins by establishing a circular, synchronized breathing pattern while causing dynamic changes in heart rate variability (HRV). This process can lower carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in an oxygen-rich body, contributing to altered states of consciousness that many participants experience as heightened awareness, positive energy, or a deeper sense of connection.
While Willow Sage and Sedar make no medical claims, many participants describe significant improvements in both emotional and physical health. Rather than simply addressing symptoms, transformational breath work aims to work at a deeper root level by helping release stored emotional and energetic patterns within the body and mind.
Shamanic breathwork is not a quick fix or instant solution. However, those who consistently apply the practices and tools they learn often report experiencing a deeper sense of peace, clarity, connection, and personal healing that extends far beyond the session itself.
Our main objective is to help each person safely explore their full potential of the mind-body connection while honoring their individual mental, physical, and spiritual boundaries.
If you are pregnant or have a history of heart conditions, cardiovascular issues, seizures, severe asthma, recent surgery, or any other significant medical or psychiatric concerns, please consult with your doctor or mental health provider before participating. Please listen to your body and move at your own pace.
