Your Guides

Prasada is a dedicated and compassionate Trauma-informed Breathwork Coach on a mission to empower others on their healing journeys.

My approach to breathwork is rooted in creating a safe and supportive space for individuals to explore their inner landscape, release stored tension, and cultivate resilience.

I hold a Pause Certification in Trauma-Informed Breathwork, a Quantum Health Coach Certificate, and a HeartMath Trauma Certification.  Combining breath and HRV training I offer many tools to incorporate into your daily life, releasing anxiety and stress, building your muscles of resilience and vitality.

My commitment to ongoing education ensures that I stay informed about the latest developments in trauma research and breathwork techniques.

I have extensive knowledge about the nervous system, and how the autonomic nervous system affects our body, our mind, and our overall mental health and wellness.

Through my own journey, I discovered the power of breathwork in improving both physical and mental health.

I am passionate about sharing this knowledge with others, teaching them to regulate their nervous system, and improving their overall well-being.

I integrate mindfulness practices, somatic awareness, and breathwork techniques to guide you on a transformative journey toward healing and self-empowerment.

How to get here

Getting to Caspar, California:

Located on the beautiful coast of Mendocino, reaching the Town of Caspar involves a combination of air and/or road travel.

How to fly to the retreat:  Santa Rosa STS is the closest airport to the Village of Mendocino (2 hours).  Other airports are Oakland OAK, (approx. 3.5 hours) San Francisco SFO (approx. 3.5 hours), and Sacramento SAC, (approx. 4.5 hours)

Upon arrival at the airport, renting a car is necessary for transportation to Mendocino. It is possible to book airport transfers through us at an additional cost.

From Santa Rosa International Airport, it takes approximately 2 hours to reach Mendocino by car. The route generally involves taking Highway 101 north to Hwy 128 West, which turns into Hwy 1 and leads directly to the Jughandle Creek Nature Reserve.

It's important to note that Caspar is a rural coastal town, and public transportation within the area is nonexistant, including uber access. Having a car will allow you to easily access the various attractions, outdoor activities, and neighboring towns in the region.

With a car, you can fully immerse yourself in the charming atmosphere of the Mendocino Coast and make the most of your visit, exploring the scenic landscapes, visiting local wineries, indulging in farm-to-table cuisine, and experiencing the rich history and culture of this delightful destination.

What to bring

Caspar experiences mild and pleasant temperatures throughout most of the year. High temperatures range from the 65-75*F, while lows can dip down to the 40-50*F range.  Layered clothing is the best way to be comfortable in all seasons.

We will be laying down in several of the sessions.  Being comfortable and warm is key. If you are driving from home and can easily transport comfortable items for the sessions such as blankets, a pillow, a tri-fold mat, that is great.  I will have limited items on hand to share with those who cannot bring these items with them.

  • Comfortable layered clothing, prepared for warm or cold weather

  • Comfortable walking shoes

  • Yoga mat, Cozy blankets and pillow for sessions (if possible)

  • Eyemask

  • Small trifold mattress for sessions (if available)

Reviews

Debbie P

This time shared with wonderful people at the retreat has taken me through the year. I have grown and learned so much about myself which has enabled me to move to the next level of happiness

Jenny

Prasada, the universe worked in my life so profoundly through the space you created and held for us close to one year ago. I'm still grateful and growing.

Patty C

Some people have the gift to create calm and comfort just by being themselves. Prasada is one of those people. She created a pod of safety where we all gathered and shared and were able to open ourselves up without fear. From that cozy nest we were all able to be authentic and vulnerable, to connect and grow. She added a beautiful setting with awe inspiring views and a menu of modalities to titillate our spiritual and wellness curiosities. She kept us more than well fed and fussed over our comfort. Prasada’s retreat was a delicious experience for my soul and body that I wholeheartedly recommend to anyone on a journey of healing and expansion.

Mae E.

Prasada equipped me with everyday tools to help calm my anxiety, making a huge difference in my daily life as a full-time college student. I used to surrender to anxiety, rather than face it head on. Breathwork has provided me with an understanding of my body and mind's wants and needs. It has enabled me to pursue my stress, rather than fear it, resulting in an overall harmony within myself as well as a much more controlled and at-ease mindset.

Lisa C

This retreat had a profound impact on my life. What a gift you are. You curated all this joy and life force. I am forever indebted and grateful for your existence and our overlap in this lifetime.

Prana M

Prasada's Vital Breath workshop was amazing. Seamlessly designed to propel us into emotional breakthroughs that were life enhancing and life changing, I highly recommend it. As a psychotherapist I am impressed with how powerful breathwork can be to move stuck emotional energies as well as open us up to a fuller and happier dimension of ourselves. Prasada creates a well-rounded workshop including a variety of healing modalities in an environment of warmth, safety and deep connection. Thank you, Prasada, for your knowledge, caring, and all embracing heart!
