Hi, I’m Brighton.
I’ve always believed in the body’s incredible ability to heal, adapt, and thrive when given the right tools and attention. My journey to wellness started as a search for relief—from physical tension, emotional overwhelm, and the persistent feeling that I wasn’t living in full alignment with my body.
Breathwork was the gateway for me. It helped me unlock patterns of fear and trauma I hadn’t realized were stored in my body. One of the most profound moments of my life was recognizing how an experience from my childhood—freezing in fear during a rock climb with my father—had shaped not just my breathing but the way I approached challenges. Breathwork gave me the tools to release that tension and reconnect with myself on a deeper level.
Yet as I went deeper, I realized that healing isn’t one-dimensional—it’s a layered process that involves the entire system working together.
the physical stuff
Years of sports injuries left me with deeply ingrained compensation patterns that caused persistent back pain and limited my ability to move freely. I had dislocated joints, multiple fractures, and a shoulder separation that compounded over time, creating tension and imbalance in my body. It wasn’t until I learned how to unlock my joints and restore proper posture and alignment that I finally regained the freedom to move without pain.
Now, I help others experience the same transformation. Restoring alignment isn’t just about the physical—it lightens your whole life, bringing balance to how you move, breathe, and feel every day.
nervous healing
A profound shift in my understanding of the nervous system came during an ayahuasca retreat. It felt as though an intelligence within my nervous system had awakened—a primal healing mechanism that had always been there, waiting to be accessed. The experience left me with the feeling that I had touched God, and from that day forward I had a newfound respect for the intelligence of the nervous system. I became deeply curious about how the nervous system works and how I could access that intelligence in my day-to-day life.
I dove into research and discovered that this mechanism is available to everyone. It inspired me to guide my clients toward a more somatic approach to healing their nervous systems—one that taps into the body’s innate capacity for restoration and resilience. Now, I help others unlock this primal intelligence, allowing them to fully relax when needed and rise to challenges without feeling overwhelmed.
The microbiome
For me, the journey to gut health began early. While suffering multiple bone fractures as a child, I was misguided by modern medicine and only later discovered they stemmed from nutritional imbalances. This was compounded by bacterial infections in multiple organs, which brought me dangerously close to death, and severe acne that was treated with toxic antibiotics, worsening the gut dysbiosis that caused it.
My life transformed when I discovered how to truly detoxify my body. These practices felt like a reset—not just for my body, but for my mind as well. Years of inflammation and imbalance melted away, allowing my entire being to relax and heal.
Now, I guide my clients through powerful detoxification protocols to help them reclaim their bodies and minds. Gut health is about so much more than digestion—it’s the foundation of energy, vitality, and clarity.
The Birth of Beyond Body Wellness
Beyond Body Wellness was born from the realization that true healing happens from the inside out. It’s not just about fixing one piece of the puzzle—it’s about addressing the whole system. Whether it’s through breathwork, improving posture, balancing the nervous system, or supporting gut health, my mission is to empower others to live in their fullest, most vibrant expression of health.
This is more than a business to me—it’s a way of living. My work combines science, intuition, and hands-on techniques to guide you toward a body and mind that feel truly aligned and resilient.
If you’re ready to begin your journey to wellness, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
