Denise Cooper was born and raised in Kansas City. She has been living in the Sacred Valley of Peru since December 2007, and leading international Ayahuasca retreats and ceremonies with the sacred plant medicine, Ayahuasca, from the Amazon jungle since 2009.
Over the last 20 years, Denise has received training and certifications as a Medicine Woman/Shamanic Practitioner, Reiki Master, Life Coach, and Breathwork Healer, with intensives in Yoga, Meditation and Fasting. She also has a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology.
Denise carries a deep love for the Earth and is deeply devoted to the evolution and healing of humanity. She shares Earth-honoring teachings and reminds people of our kinship with Nature.
In this episode, Denise shares her journey + experience with the healing powers of breathwork. She discusses the many benefits of this work, including stress-relief, dealing with grief + trauma, recovering from addiction, connecting with our higher self or inner essence, deepening our intuition, and so much more!
We talk a little bit about the dangers of spiritual bypassing, the importance of working with our shadows, and how we really do need to "feel it to heal it" often times.
We really delve deep in this episode!

The book mentioned towards the beginning of the episode is The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma, by Bessel Van der Kolk, MD.
