Let’s talk.

Breathwork is an active meditation technique based on controlled hyperventilation breathing. Breathwork has the power to shift your state of consciousness so that you can explore your emotions from today, from yesterday, from thirty years ago, or even those of your family and the collective society in which we function and interact.

Emotions that get unconsciously suppressed wire your brain in a dysfunctional way which has negative consequences on your daily life. Untangling these blind spots somatically through Breathwork enables you to release these emotions and internal blockages to finally move on and build a better life.

More than simply a popular relaxation method, Breathwork has been scientifically proven to provide a wide range of health benefits. It’s one of the most natural methods of treating a variety of issues, and people all over the world are drawing on their breath, using this method to improve their physical, mental and emotional health, and other aspects of their lives.

Here are some scientifically proven benefits of Breathwork:

Everyone’s journey is different. For some, one session could be perfect! Each session is certainly “complete.” That said, understand that a “Journey” is you’ll always go deeper, heal more deeply, and be drawn to what you need. Many people find, through personal experience, a desire to practice several times a month.

While everyone has a different experience based on their life and the spaces that need healing, Breathwork is an incredibly powerful way to bring more pleasure, vitality, wellness and energy into your life.

For many energy therapies you do not need to be physically present nor on the phone to experience the same level of healing energy as being in-person. It can seem a strange idea that the energies would be equally as strong or powerful if you are not physically present with the practitioner. Many people have felt the same way before they experienced their first "remote" Rising Stars, and they all have had several since, with powerful results every time. The energy present during a remote or distant session is absolutely equal to what happens in the physical - this is because the healing works on all levels and layers of a being. We are used to thinking of our physical bodies as "us" though in actuality we are made up of several "bodies" - our physical body is the densest of these, and the others, being at a higher vibration, are not physically visible to most of us. One of the other bodies is the etheric body - this is the one next to the physical body, and connects us with all of our higher bodies. So if the etheric body is being worked on in a healing session, which is the case during a Rising Star, whether you're physically present with the practitioner or not, then both the physical and all the other "bodies" come along for the ride so to speak.

No. If you are not receiving a Rising Star energy healing in person, Colleen simply asks that you lie still for the duration of the appointment time if possible. You won’t “ruin” it if you forget the scheduled time and it will still be the same effective and powerful healing. Many people enjoy scheduling Rising Star energy healings while they sleep, and most report having terrific sleeps and waking completely refreshed!

No, classes and trainings are done in person by announcement from Colleen’s office in Ridgewood, NJ. As they may also be held in the comfort of your home, Colleen will discuss traveling to you or another date upon request.

Scientists have proven that everything is energy. With humans and animals, energy fields operate inside our bodies (chakra system) and outside our bodies (auric system). When our energetic vibration decreases, dis-ease and imbalance can occur on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.

The Rising Star Healing System™ is an extraordinarily powerful system sourced from an ancient Tibetan lineage. It works by directing energy through the client’s chakra system, working on the five elements; fire, water, air, earth and ether, so that your entire being can start to balance and heal. A single treatment starts to raise the vibration of the human energy field, to hold more life force energy, so it can re-balance the body.

The energy work continues after the session to clear the chakra and auric system for 21 days, moving through the 7 energy points (chakras) three times. As such, 3 weeks between sessions is best. For optimal results, three sessions are recommended. Each session promotes deeper relaxation, allowing the mind to let go, so deeper issues can be addressed. Keep in mind, energy healing does NOT replace traditional medical care, and medical professionals should be consulted in all situations.

Rapid Transformational Therapy® is a multi-award-winning therapy that is working toward critical acclaim as the “go-to” therapy.

RTT® works through the science of neuroplasticity and combines the most effective NLP principles with CBT, psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy to create a uniquely powerful therapy with the potential to help people overcome their issues.

Breakthroughs are achieved by uncovering the root cause, rather than just addressing the symptoms of the presenting issue. This is why RTT® can have such a powerful and positive impact.

RTT® therapists are equipped with an array of techniques and tools that are crucial, not just in teaching clients how to communicate with the subconscious mind, but also in directly accessing and working with clients to overcome blocks and reprogram their mind for success.

Because Rapid Transformational Therapy® is a complete solution based approach, it can be used in many different ways. Colleen has achieved great success helping people with all kinds of challenges.

Rapid Transformational Therapy® (RTT®) embraces many of the positive aspects of hypnosis and hypnotherapy, known to produce a transformative effect on clients.

However the RTT® method goes beyond traditional hypnotherapy, identifying what works effectively for clients to build a revolutionary, results-driven therapeutic approach.

RTT® doesn’t come from a single methodology; it comes from the unique layering of techniques and beliefs that Marissa Peer created and teaches.

People who have heard of the RTT® method, but not experienced it for themselves, sometimes think it sounds similar to Neuro-Linguistic Processing (NLP).

It’s true that both NLP and RTT® can teach you how to better dialogue with your mind, and understand the difference between what your subconscious and conscious mind believe. However, RTT® has the added—and crucial—step of also directly accessing and removing whatever blocks may be there. It has the addition of ‘The Transformation’, developed by Marisa Peer. Using specific RTT® therapy methods, clients are able to reach breakthroughs that might not have been possible with other techniques.

RTT® offers a comprehensive range of transformational techniques, including command cell therapy, to activate the body’s innate ability to restore itself to wellness from a cellular level.

Science has proven with neuroplasticity that we can actually rewire our minds, which is why it has the most powerful potential on the planet. Using RTT® to access the almighty subconscious mind, we can create new neural pathways and replace old limiting beliefs and behaviors with new empowering ones.

Vinyasa means, “to move with the breath.” Vinyasa Yoga, also commonly referred to as “Flow” or “Vinyasa Flow” is a style of yoga that links poses or asanas together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, with the breath in a flowing sequence. This synchronization of breath with a continuous flow of postures helps attain balance in spirit, mind and body.

Because the poses are done in quick succession, and keeps you moving almost constantly, Vinyasa “Flow” Yoga:

• Enhances Core Stability

• Improves Mobility and Range of Motion

• Keeps your Heart Healthy

• Calms the Mind and Reduces Stress

• Boosts Mood

• Improves Sleep

• Strengthens the Immune System

• Stabilizes and Regulates the Emotions

• Increases Lung Capacity

• Bolsters Energy Levels

• Improves Body Image

• Increases Focus and Memory

• Improves strength

• Improves stability and balance

• Burns calories & boosts metabolism (more than a hatha yoga class)

• Lose weight and body fat, and improve fitness (when practiced regularly)

Colleen teaches 60 and 75-minute classes.

Depending on your location, yes. She does travel to private clients in a 30-minute radius, and sees many clients regularly privately over Zoom.
