Sidney Kendall- BreathWork Queen
Sidney Kendall is currently a facilitator at The Healing Tree Collective in Tempe, Arizona. As an Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor, she also offers tools such as Embodiment Movement, Ultra Grounding, Reiki, Tai Chi and Limitless Readings. She has found her passion with guiding others to connect to their sovereignty. Sidney offers one-on-one sessions and group sessions. During this journey, Sidney has navigated her way through curiosity. Her curiosity started when she was just a child, seeing the duality of life so quickly trying to make sense of it all. With an unstable home, no guidance she still decided to remain with her heart open. This led her to explore all parts of religions, spiritual practices, breathwork, modalities and movement. Not only did this continue to open her mind and heart, this opened her gifts. Sidney merges with the quantum realms with one foot in and one foot in the human experience. This allows her to expand her gifts into readings, the infinity system, higher frequencies, leading Vibrational
transformational sessions and much more!
Saying yes! – Once asked to be a part of Embodied Retreat, I felt it in my soul, my highest excitement – that this was the right alignment for me. My soul ignites in each session I lead, to be able to be the mirror of sovereignty. We are all divinely connected and sovereign in our being. Which is why I have found my passion, to help guide others back to source – themselves. Not only do I get to offer all the tools I have learned and created, I get to continue to expand and grow in return. What an honor it is to continue curiosity, play and be vulnerable in sacred spaces with the ones that choose to share this space together. I cannot wait to vibrate with you all, connecting to our primal core – our sovereignty. See you all there!
