SARAH, MOM OF 2
“I walked into breathwork with Stephanie as a victim of domestic violence. I felt trapped and stuck. I walked out feeling like a survivor. I felt so empowered. I was able to clearly see the connection between my childhood and current situation and I don’t want that for my daughter. Since the session I have taken the necessary steps to secure my safety.”
CARRIE T, TEACHER
“I saw myself for the first time in breathwork. The real me. Not the one that I’ve been pretending to be to keep myself safe. I realized the reason I’ve always felt so lonely was because I didn’t know myself. I didn’t need others. I needed me.”
LEXIE
“I have been honored to attend several of Stephanie's breathwork ceremonies and the power of the process is POWERFUL! My initial intention was to simply evoke more patience within my everyday life BUT THE UNIVERSE HAD OTHER PLANS!!! The impact breathwork has made in my life is more than I ever expected; I am patient with my son on a level I have never been before, I am able to attract the people and resources I need to get closer to my goals, and my mindset is higher than I have ever known it to be on a daily basis. I cannot thank Stephanie enough for the gift she gives to those she works with, and I would like to hope everyone will be given the opportunity to experience the power Breathwork holds!.”
NALANI GRACE, CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
“I'm a Clinical Psychologist and I have done so much education, research, training, and tried so many different experiential healing modalities in the 20+ years of my career and Stephanie's Breath work is easily one of the most powerful healing experiences I have encountered. She is a beautiful and kind soul that truly understands what is necessary for healing, awareness, growth, and expansion to process unresolved issues and be able to move forward in life in a healthy, empowered, and meaningful way.
Her method is flawless as she beautifully integrates so many powerful healing modalities into her breath work experience for a full immersive experience. She provides education up front so you know exactly what is going to happen and the science behind it. She uses shaking, music, breathing, sound bowl, instruments, essential oils, and powerful prompts, demonstration, and guided meditation that makes the experience so easy to follow along with as she guides you through your healing journey. She walks you through the whole process, does the breathing throughout the experience so you can just emulate her and know exactly what to do instead of getting lost in your thoughts wondering if you're doing it right.
She has mastered a beautiful and powerful skill set that will create one of the most amazing experiences of your life and will facilitate more processing in one hour than most people will accomplish in months of therapy. Stephanie creates a rich, profound, powerful, and valuable experience that will enhance your life forever! If you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to attend one of her events, it is well worth your time and whatever cost to check it out. Your current, future, and past selves will thank you immensely as you will be forever changed. Thank you Stephanie for all you do for everyone. Keep sharing your gift and blessing those around you. I appreciate you immensely.”
KYLE SMITH, FOUNDER - DETERMINATION INC.
“If you are even thinking about trying out a Rising Phoenix Breathwork session with Stephanie…DO IT. It is an incredibly meaningful experience. But setting aside all of the depth and transcendence... being a better breather literally makes you better at everything. You will learn how to breathe better for every situation. And if you happen to heal, open, or grow in the process... bonus points, if you ask me.”
LAURA, MOTHER OF 2
“I have struggled to meditate since my baby was born. My brain is constantly thinking of the something I need to do. When I come to breathwork, I focus on the breath. I follow directions and before I know it, my mind is still and I'm deep in meditation.”
AMBER WINKLE, ALL AROUND AWESOME PERSON
“The experience was hard to describe. Letting go, clearing the fog, drowning out everything that is unnecessary. Feeling the colors, tasting the sounds, tingling in your fingers and toes, emotions flood. Facing the things you typically try to set aside or block out–seeing them from a different perspective.
Stephanie is amazing! Even stepping into the same room as her gives off a warm, safe and comforting aura. I came in with vast and vague goals, as there’s so many aspects of life that could always use some tlc.
In a loud, fast paced world and minds to match, I wondered if a session would be long enough to actually reach a meditative state, but in session my concept of time was skewed. It didn’t take long at all with the environment provided! Being guided and coached with music, instruments, praises, scents, visual sensory deprivation isn’t just something you can do full force at home with a YouTube tutorial.
A favorite that stood out to me was “shaking” therapy and will definitely utilize that more often! Putting on a blinding mask and feeling my body follow a rhythm, or stray from that rhythm and release primal movements like no other…It was simply beautiful to have a safe space to let go with movements of purpose from my head to my toenails.
With my next future sessions I hope to work on every possible scope of a self healing journey we should all explore!! Personal, professional, relationships, familial or otherwise, trauma, faults or downfalls, self esteem, future goals….- the list goes on! “

“If you're looking for a safe place to release some trauma and connect with yourself, I highly recommend participating in a breathwork session with Stephanie. She is so attentive to the needs of people who are journeying with her, and her heart to hold space for others as they are healing and releasing trauma really shines through energetically when she facilitates.
Breathwork has been such a powerful tool on my journey towards bodily self connection and anxiety relief. There is something so empowering about using your breath, something already inside of you, to heal your own nervous system, and tapping into that inner wisdom of your body can help you release things you didn't even realize you were consciously carrying!
If you're at all curious about if breathwork is right for you, I would highly encourage you to try it! Do it for yourself and do if for the world, for by healing ourselves we heal the world. One breath at a time."

“Tonight, my office had the privilege of hosting Stephanie Zamora Schilling for her powerful Elemental Rhythm Breathwork session. Along with several other therapists and a friend, it was a night to remember!
There’s so much I could say, but the most important thing is this: if you have the opportunity to jump into one of Stephanie’s sessions, DO IT. Such a beautiful time of hard work, deep processing, and releasing of stored trauma and stress. I’m a neuroscience nerd, and this process is LEGIT to access that stored junk and release it. I, personally, had a powerful experience of releasing some old wounds and even stored medical trauma from major brain surgery six years ago (stuff I wasn’t even awake for, but my body absolutely remembers).
One therapist shared tonight that ”I did more inner child work in that session than I have in years of therapy for myself.” Another stated that old stored trauma in her body from a horrific act of abuse kept coming up, and she was able to go toward it in a way she’s never been able to in 40 years of therapy (this particular wound is one in the therapy world that is of the deepest and toughest out there to move through!). Obviously us therapists have to keep working on our stuff as well. It’s a journey!
The body keeps the score, folks, and healing is WORK. But it’s the greatest gift you can give yourself and the people you love - yourself, healthy and whole.
Don’t miss it next time she posts an event. You’ll thank yourself - I am."
PEGGY ROSS, OWNER AVALON CLEANING SERVICES LLC AND HER ZEN WITHIN LLC
“I had the privilege to be part of Stephanie’s BreathworkMastery Series focused on self love and acceptance. For me, I embarked on this journey at a major transformational and growth stage in my life and I now know this was divine timing. I am going through some very difficult emotions and changes and this helped me understand myself better and those I love and to have more compassion with myself and others. We went deep, uncovering inner wounds and we looked hard in the mirror and used each other as mirrors to become better humans. We were encouraged to establish a daily breathwork practice and I noticed after a few weeks my anxiety level had decreased significantly. I have many insights and visions during breathwork and so I feel more in tune with myself and my future. I have gained clarity and confidence, and have established a daily breath work practice that continues to nourish me. I am grateful to Stephanie and the other ladies in our group for the awesome experience. "

“Working with Stephanie has absolutely changed my life! Not only have I learned how to use my breath to regulate my nervous system, but Stephanie has also led me on a journey of identifying core wounds and false beliefs that have been running my life since childhood. She then guided me through subconscious reprogramming that has allowed me to grow the deepest sense of self love that I’ve ever felt! This has created such an incredible amount of personal freedom in my life!!
When I first began working with Stephanie during her group breathwork sessions, I was holding a significant amount of pain and trauma in my body from an abusive relationship and recent divorce. These sessions allowed such a beautiful (yet intense!) release of trapped emotions, and I knew it was something I wanted to explore more. Stephanie held space for me to process through past traumas, some generations deep that I didn’t even know I was carrying! I began signing up for as many sessions as I could per month! Each session allowed me to access those stuck emotions, providing a safe space and opportunity to release them.
After a couple of months of attending Stephanie’s group sessions, I decided to work with her 1:1. There was a legal case going on with my ex husband that resulted in me having a panic attack in the courtroom. I reached out to Stephanie and asked for help, specifically to get my body calm and collected in preparation for the continued court hearings. I wanted to be able to use my breath confidently to keep my nervous system calm so I would be able to face my ex and communicate clearly in the courtroom. We completed several 1:1 sessions leading up to the next court date, and she even breathed with me over the phone right before I went into the courthouse. She sent me into that courtroom with so much love and gratitude which was something I was not expecting!! Then, I did it. I used my breath to stay calm, and had a newfound confidence in my ability to stand up for myself. Four months later the legal issues were resolved, and not only had I successfully completed the challenge, but I also now had a breathwork practice that was shifting how I viewed myself. My self-talk improved! My confidence grew! I started to practice breathwork on my own, not just in sessions with Stephanie. These changes were allowing me to heal my broken heart, and dissolve old beliefs that were not even true! I began to heal!
Working with Stephanie 1:1 is especially powerful because she creates meditations that are individualized and specific to your needs. After working with her at this personal level, I’ve seen huge shifts in my mental clarity, awareness, self talk and my ability to emotionally regulate.
Stephanie’s Breathwork Mastery Series takes personal growth to the next level! Working with a small group over a six week period transformed me in such deep ways! I truly have never felt this much self love and gratitude for my life! The series began and ended with in person sessions where you connect with other people on a similar journey. There are four weeks in the middle where we met over zoom to share stories and breathe together.
The zoom sessions are recorded so we then could each relisten to the breathwork on our own and allow for an even deeper level of reprogramming to take place! We formed a group chat which provided a safe space for us to share our experiences, and helped with accountability. The connection here was phenomenal because I saw myself reflected through the lens of other people’s experiences which allowed for so much relation and deeper understanding.
I credit Stephanie’s ability to facilitate such deep level breathing and meditations to the positive growth that has taken place in my life. Without a doubt I can state that it’s because of her that I’ve achieved such high levels of healing and peace in my mind and body. She’s given me a new outlook, reinforced positive self talk, and as a result I have a completely reset nervous system!! I’m forever grateful for her.”
SAMANTHA
“I’ve been hearing Stephanie talk about how much breathwork could help. I was intrigued but very skeptical.
The mental clarity I had after my first session was life changing. I realized my brain could be at peace, not constantly worrying about every little thing.
After my first session I took a road trip by myself. My first ever. The scariest part was the idea of being in the car for 11 hours with nothing but my own thoughts.
The entire drive my mind was clear! When a thought entered my mind, I was able to clearly think about the topic at hand without spiraling into an emotional mess.
When I got back home a couple of days later, I realized how much I’d learned in one breathwork session. I’d unconsciously begun using the breathing techniques we practiced in session. This new, calm slow breaths were helping with regulate my mind throughout the day. Day to day tasks were easier. I was able to sit and play with my kids. I am more present in my interactions with them and I’ve felt like I can actually manage my life.
My life has been clouded by depression, anxiety, and past trauma. For the first time I wholly believe that I will feel healed. I’ll have the mindset I’ve always longed for. I’m excited about doing the work to get there.
In conclusion, thank you. The work you are doing is so helpful, and life changing. I appreciate the services you offer and what you are allowing me to do in my healing space. I really feel like this was a huge piece I needed to help with my overall mental health and healing.”
