At Monima Wellness, we believe exceptional mental health care is built on compassion, individualized support, and meeting women where they are in their healing journey. Located in the heart of scenic San Diego, our center is a safe haven for women seeking a holistic, evidence-based approach to mental wellness.
Breathwork is one of the many transformative tools we use to help women reconnect with themselves, process emotions, and find inner peace. Breathwork is integrated into our outpatient treatment continuum, including partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), to provide a nurturing space for healing—whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, or simply seeking emotional balance.
Breathwork is the intentional practice of controlling your breath to influence your emotional and mental state. Rooted in both ancient traditions and modern neuroscience, this practice has been shown to help regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, and improve emotional resilience.
At Monima Wellness, breathwork is more than just deep breathing—it’s a powerful therapeutic tool. Studies published in Scientific Reports reveal that structured breathwork significantly reduces anxiety, depressive symptoms, and overall stress by activating the body’s natural relaxation response[1].

Integrating breathwork and other alternative healing modalities into our outpatient programs through structured group sessions, psychoeducation, and individualized treatment plans, we help women cultivate the skills they need to thrive after treatment.

At Monima, we teach science-backed breathing techniques that empower women to regain control over their emotions and well-being in treatment and everyday life.
Monima Wellness is built on the belief that healing requires a holistic, comprehensive approach. That’s why we integrate breathwork alongside evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and holistic modalities like yoga, sound healing, and reiki.
