9D Breathwork

An immersive journey through breath, sound and self-discovery.

More than breathwork. An experience you step into.

Imagine stepping away from the noise of everyday life, putting on your headphones and entering an experience that engages your senses, attention and imagination in an entirely different way.

9D Breathwork combines conscious connected breathing, multidimensional soundscapes, music, guided visualization and somatic awareness to create a powerful, multisensory journey.

Through thoughtfully layered sound and guided breathing, participants are invited to explore their inner experience, become more present and discover new perspectives.

Some describe a profound sense of calm. Others experience emotion, insight, energy or meaningful reflection.

Every experience is personal. There is no single right way to experience it.

​

What Makes 9D Different?

The breath is only the beginning.

Traditional breathwork often focuses primarily on breathing patterns and bodily awareness. 9D adds a multidimensional audio environment that engages the senses and guides participants through a carefully sequenced journey.

Each experience brings together:

• Conscious Connected Breathing: A guided breathing practice that invites awareness of physical sensations and inner experience.

• Immersive Sound Technology: Layered audio incorporating binaural beats, isochronic tones, music and atmospheric soundscapes.

• Guided Visualization & Inquiry: Spoken guidance and reflective prompts that invite curiosity, imagination and personal exploration.

• Somatic Awareness: Opportunities to notice sensations, emotions and the relationship between body and mind.

• Reflection & Integration: Space to settle, make meaning of the experience and consider what you want to carry into everyday life.

Knowing something and experiencing it are not the same thing.
 

What to Expect

Settle in. Put on your headphones. Follow the journey.

Each gathering begins with an introduction to the experience, breathing instructions and an opportunity to set a personal intention.

You'll then be guided through an immersive audio journey using individual headphones, with music, narration, breath and sound creating a richly layered experience.

Throughout the session, I provide guidance and support while allowing room for each participant's experience to unfold.

We close with time for reflection and integration, creating a thoughtful transition back into everyday life.

No previous breathwork or meditation experience is necessary, although participation in intensive breathing practices requires appropriate health screening.

Hello, I'm Elizabeth.

I'm Elizabeth Ashley Drake, a Certified Somatic Psychology Practitioner, Certified Somatic Breathwork Practitioner and Certified 9D Breathwork Facilitator.

My relationship with mindful breathing and meditation began more than two decades ago. Today, my approach brings together psychology, somatic practice, breath, movement, guided inquiry and experience design.
 

What interests me most about 9D is how breath, sound, awareness and imagination come together to create an experience that extends beyond intellectual understanding. Through ah. Breathwork + Meditation, I design and facilitate immersive group experiences that invite greater presence, curiosity and meaningful connection.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need previous breathwork experience?

No. Each experience includes an introduction and guided instructions. Certain breathing practices may not be appropriate for everyone, so participants complete health screening beforehand.
 

Is 9D Breathwork the same as meditation?

Not exactly. While both can involve focused attention and awareness, 9D combines active breathing patterns with an immersive, multilayered audio journey.
 

How long does an experience last?

The duration depends on the journey and group format. We'll discuss timing and logistics when planning your experience.
 

Can I book an experience for my group?

Yes. I work with private groups, studios, teams, organizations, retreats and community hosts. Experiences can be arranged through Embody First or ah. Breathwork + Meditation.
 

Are there any health considerations?

Yes. Intensive conscious connected breathing can produce strong physical or emotional sensations and may be inappropriate for certain medical or psychiatric conditions. Participant screening is required, and medical clearance may be necessary. 9D Breathwork is a wellness experience, not a substitute for medical or mental-health care.
