Guiding You Back to Balance
Rebecca Simpson Breath & Somatic Practitioner
Breath is our most natural flow. It has always been present, but then life happens. For me, life brought illness, chronic pain, and burnout. Each trauma became deeply stored inside my physical body.
Over time, the contractions and tension restricted my breathing pattern. The constrictions compounded, establishing habits that looped over and over in my life. This habitual pattern continually signaled to my nervous system that I wasn't safe, keeping it on a constant state of high alert.
Through conscious breathing and gentle movement, I began my healing journey and rest my nervous system. Now I bring my lived experience, training, and compassion to RS Breathe to help you rebuild and deepen your mind-body-soul connection.

My Story
Catching My Breath
When I first discovered conscious connected breathing in 2016, I was astonished at the depth of emotion it brought up, touching me deep within and excavating stored memories. What started as curiosity about non-ordinary states of consciousness quickly evolved into a deep integration of past life events and an understanding of how they had impacted my sense of safety.
My sense
of safety
For years, my search for safety and stability fueled a relentless drive and a need to control my circumstances. I thrived in an environment where predicting every outcome felt like security. I was rewarded for my performance and ability to strategically organize chaos, rising to Executive Director at a Fortune 25 company.
As breathwork helped me gently unwind that need for control and integrate what I had been carrying, my relationship with work shifted. I began sharing breath practices with colleagues, and my office affectionately became known as the Zen-den.
Then, life tested what I had healed. A nerve removal surgery spiraled into a septic infection, chronic pain, and a physical disability. It turned my world upside down. I no longer registered as safe.

I no longer
registered as safe
My nervous system plunged into life-threatening autonomic, peripheral, and central dysregulation. After months of medications and treatments that did little to dampen the pain, I had my first spinal injection series to interrupt the pain signals and experienced a near-death experience (NDE), only to return to face relentless pain.
Nothing stopped the pain from Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a condition ranked among the ten most painful conditions a human can experience. Living with a severely dysfunctional nervous system took its toll. Eventually, I left work, checked into a pain clinic, and began treatments including breathwork, EMDR, somatic therapy, cold laser, electromagnetic currents, neuroplasticity techniques, heart coherence practices, and peptides. Across all of them, breathwork was what consistently helped me get through each day. Over time, I refined the mix of modalities that worked to lessen the pain and build resiliency in my nervous system.
Resiliency in my
nervous system
I created RS Breathe to share the blend of modalities I discovered through firsthand lived experience. I certified as a breath coach, pain support group facilitator, Art of Deep Healing Certified Healer, IBF: Conscious Breathing for Trauma Recovery, and a YogaBody Science of Stretching trainer, while continuing advanced training in Rebirthing and Transformational Breath.
Today, everything I offer is deeply rooted in the RS Breathe mission: empowering others to navigate trauma, stress, and chronic pain, restore their natural breath pattern, and build a lasting mind-body-spirit connection.
