About Breathe With Lizzy
Welcome to Breathe With Lizzy
A space for healing, resilience, and transformation through trauma-informed yoga and holistic wellness.
I’m Lizzy B. Nicholls—a Holistic Wellness & Resilience Coach, trauma-informed yoga teacher, Reiki Master, and a master’s student on the path to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). My journey into this work is deeply personal, shaped by lived experience, service, and a calling to help others navigate their own healing.
I served in the Search and Rescue Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), an experience that opened my eyes to the profound effects of trauma, loss, and resilience. After leaving the military, I found myself searching for healing, confronting the impact of my own mental health struggles, autoimmune disease, and the weight of past experiences. It was yoga, breathwork, and alternative healing practices that helped me reclaim my body, mind, and spirit.
In Israel, I taught African asylum seekers English, an experience that deepened my understanding of resilience, displacement, and the power of education in healing.
Now, I guide others through trauma-informed movement, holistic healing, and nervous system regulation.
My approach integrates the experience I have gained:
-
Yoga & Movement: Certified in RYT-200 Trauma-Informed Yoga (Yoga School Yoga Institute), 30-hour Yin Yoga (Seva Studio)
-
Energy & Holistic Healing: Reiki Master & Certified Alternative Healing Therapist (Place of Bliss Academy)
-
Criminal Justice & Rehabilitation: Degree in Criminology, with certification in the In and Out Program, working with inmates in maximum security prisons
-
Community Service: Three years as a Big Brother Big Sister mentor in North Philadelphia and two years teaching English to Asylum seekers in Israel.
Through private coaching, yoga, and holistic wellness practices, I help individuals process trauma, build resilience, and reconnect with themselves in a way that honors their unique journey.
Breathe With Lizzy is more than a practice—it’s a safe, nurturing space where healing happens. Whether you're looking to explore trauma-informed movement, integrate holistic healing, or simply take a deep breath, I’m honored to walk this path with you.
Let’s take it one day at a time.
My Approach: Somatic, Trauma-Informed, and Holistic Healing
At Breathe With Lizzy, I integrate a multidimensional approach to healing, combining somatic practices, trauma-informed care, and holistic wellness to support the nervous system, release stored trauma, and foster resilience. My method is rooted in both lived experience and professional training, creating a safe, nurturing space for transformation.
Somatic Healing
Trauma is stored in the body, and true healing requires more than just talking—it involves moving, breathing, and reconnecting with the physical self. Through yoga, breathwork, and mindful movement, I help individuals cultivate body awareness, regulate their nervous system, and release tension in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Trauma-Informed Care
Healing happens when we feel safe, seen, and in control of our own process. My trauma-informed approach ensures that every session is guided by choice, empowerment, and respect for personal boundaries. Whether through yoga, coaching, or alternative healing modalities, I create an environment that prioritizes compassion, consent, and non-judgment.
Holistic Wellness
True well-being extends beyond just the physical or emotional—it’s about integrating mind, body, and spirit. My practice blends yoga, energy healing (Reiki), mindfulness, and alternative therapeutic techniques to support individuals in achieving balance, self-awareness, and a deeper connection to themselves.
Resilience & Self-Discovery
Healing isn’t just about recovering from trauma—it’s about rediscovering yourself beyond it. My work focuses on helping individuals build resilience, develop self-compassion, and step into their own strength. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, or personal transformation, I am here to support you in a way that honors your unique story and healing journey.
