On this week’s episode of Keep Going, I spoke with Hannah Cohen, a somatic coach and transformational guide specializing in breathwork and sound healing. In today’s world of relentless pressures, both personal and professional, Hannah’s work offers tools to navigate the noise and reconnect with the body and self.

Creating Space to Breathe

Hannah believes the first step to finding balance is carving out intentional time away from technology and daily distractions. By grounding yourself—placing your feet on the earth or simply tuning into your breath—you create the opportunity to reconnect with your inner world. This practice, she says, can help anyone, from high-pressure CEOs to individuals overwhelmed by today’s constant stream of news and demands.

Breathwork is at the core of Hannah’s practice. She highlights techniques like holotropic breathing, which involves a pattern of deep breaths into the belly, chest, and then a release. This method can activate the vagus nerve, calm the nervous system, and allow for emotional release. Hannah encourages journaling after these sessions to reflect on patterns, themes, or emotions that emerge.

The Power of Sound

Sound healing is another tool Hannah champions. Whether through humming, sound baths, or working with instruments like gongs or bowls, sound creates a space for energy release and self-exploration. She explains how sound can help process emotions like anger or grief, clear stagnant energy, and foster a deeper connection to the self.

Hannah emphasizes that sound doesn’t have to be complicated. Simply listening to the wind in the trees, a favorite song, or even experimenting with your own voice can be powerful. For those looking to explore sound healing more deeply, she suggests seeking out local practitioners or group sound baths, which often create a shared space for healing and connection.

Overcoming Skepticism

For those skeptical of these practices—or those who feel too busy to try—Hannah offers gentle encouragement. Even setting aside 10 minutes a day for focused breathing or listening to sound can make a difference. She notes that skeptics often find unexpected breakthroughs when they give these methods a chance, pushing past resistance and tuning into their body’s wisdom.

A Practice of Connection

Hannah’s work is rooted in community and collaboration. Whether in group settings or one-on-one sessions, she values the collective energy and healing that comes from shared spaces. She reminds us that the journey toward wellness isn’t about perfection—it’s about small, consistent steps to honor the body and the present moment.
