Bendis Breathwork — Mental health service in San Diego, CA

Chechi has an innate and special gift of drawing out the best in everyone, and always works right alongside her clients in full support. She provides the safest space and environment possible, and meets you where you're at, while still challenging you to do the hard work.

To anyone thinking, “I’m not sure if this works”: I have never done anything like this before, and I walked in not knowing what breath work was. (I even brought a yoga mat, and thought I was going to do more of a yoga guided breathing )…as wild as this sounds, I walked out of the session feeling like a new person and actually knowing what my purpose was & what I wanted. This truly changed my life. I cannot explain howdeeply grateful I am to Bendis Breathwork. I recommend this to anyone who is trying to find a deeper understanding of themselves. I did the experience of death and cannot wait to come back to her next session. There is magic here!!!!

I was referred to Chechi for my first online breathwork session after struggling with infertility. I had read that this outlet can be helpful with unblocking your sacral chakra (the year prior I had a miscarriage with a D&C). My mental health routine prior to this was periodic therapy and mindful meditation for anxiety. I was willing to give anything a shot and I'm so glad a family friend connected me with Chechi. I had my first online breathwork session and was nervous if I would really be able to focus enough with the instructor being on screen. Chechi made me feel comfortable from the get go and I had the most emotionally and physically cleansing session of my life-it still gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. I was pregnant with my rainbow baby the following cycle after this session. I will always keep breathwork in my back pocket for when I need a strong release in my life. Thank you, Chechi!

Working with Chechi has been an incredibly rich and rewarding experience. I had always been interested in breathwork, which is what led me to her, but what I could not have imagined was the depth and scope of the benefits Chechi's breathwork sessions would bring to my life overall. She is deeply intuitive, nurturing, and has a tremendous scope of knowledge regarding not only breathwork but many other healing and therapeutic modalities. I have learned so much from her and can feel the benefits of my work with Chechi radiating throughout all facets of my life. So grateful!

I experienced one of the group Breathwork sessions led by Chechi yesterday. It was an experience I will never forget and a practice I hope to delve deeper into. If you have trauma/stuck energy thats keeping you from being your full self, I would highly recommend you try this. I experienced tears, shakes, lots of emotional releasing and a very deep, relaxing night of sleep. Thank you Chechi for holding sacred space and loving light during our sessions.

Amazing experience with Chechi, she is an intuitive and compassionate soul. If you are thinking about going to do a breath work session and aren’t sure where to start, this is it. She has studied for years, a great guide in meditation and healing. Great atmosphere with the other people in the class as well. Will be a repeat customer for sure!

I have had a few in person breathwork sessions and a few online ones. Each time brought different experiences some were reaching out to my soul, connecting better with myself, healing undiscovered wounds and traumas or even releasing suppressed emotions stored deeply in my body, out of reach and forgotten. Chechi is an incredible being and her beautiful energy provided safe environment every single time, patient and attentive she helped me get all those emotions out and made me feel heard and seen for who I am. The experience is definitely worth it!

Today I had a beautiful breath work session with Chechi. She helped me release a childhood anger and I felt lighter than before! The whole time with her I felt safe and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and her work for everyone! I am so grateful for the experience I had and I would definitely do it again!

Chechi's breathwork services have played a pivotal role in my healing. I didn't know it was possible for something like this to have such a profound impact in my life, but it has. Through this practice, I have been working deeply on my trust and safety issues. Each time as I'm breathing, I have a different experience that brings attention to areas of myself that I need to heal through. In that vulnerable space, I have always felt extremely comforted and safe in Chechi's presence. She has been supporting me in learning how to feel safe in my own body. This experience has brought to surface many emotions and unhealed wounds that I haven't really explored in depth up until now. If you're looking for growth and expansion right now in your life, I highly recommend Bendis Breathwork and the experience that Chechi brings to the table. It has opened doors for me that I am forever grateful for.

My very first breathwork session with Chechi was incredible!! My 2 friends and I had our session together in the comfort of our own home, and it was a wonderful bonding experience. Chechi has a beautiful energy that is very grounding, which makes her very good at what she does. I found it very easy to trust her and the process. At the beginning of the session, we set our intention for what we wanted to create. Throughout the breathing process, I felt calm, centered, and incredibly peaceful. My entire experience was very cathartic because I released a lot of buried emotions. After the session, I shared my breakthroughs and learnings with Chechi, and found comfort in our conversation. I had such a positive experience that I am continuing to have more breathwork sessions. I have found tremendous value and healing in this, and know others will find that here as well.
