Episode 175

E 175: “Somatic Healing for Survivors: Breathwork Beyond Talk Therapy”" Guest Nicoletta Puccini

In this powerful and heart-opening episode, I sit down with Nicoletta Puccini, founder of Chameleon Breathwork LLC, a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator and somatic healing guide. With over 15 years of experience in therapeutic yoga, somatic modalities, and conscious breathwork, Nicoletta shares how the body stores trauma—and more importantly, how we can safely release it.

We explore how breath and facial release can become daily tools for anyone navigating the impacts of trauma and abuse. Nicoletta’s intuitive, immersive approach meets people exactly where they are, empowering them to activate their inner pharmacy and break free from the limitations trauma places on the body and mind.

Nicoletta also shares her personal story and the vision behind Chameleon Breathwork, now a thriving healing hub in Felton, California. Her mission is simple yet profound: to give people hope through accessible, body-based practices that support deep transformation and everyday healing.

✨ Key Topics Covered:

  • Why all trauma is stored in the body—and how to begin releasing it
  • The science and soul of breathwork as a healing modality
  • What facial release is and how it helps calm the nervous system
  • How survivors can use breath as a tool for regulation, empowerment, and connection
  • The journey of Chameleon Breathwork and building community through healing

Whether you're a trauma survivor or simply curious about holistic tools for healing, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that your body holds both the wound and the wisdom to heal it.
