Community Experiences
• Nervous System reset/efucation
• Workplace Wellness
I'm so glad you're here.
Soma Shift Studio was created with one simple purpose: to help people reconnect with themselves through guided 9D Breathwork, nervous system education, and compassionate support.
​
This is more than a breathwork session.
​
It's an opportunity to pause, breathe, learn, and reconnect with yourself in a safe, welcoming environment where there is no pressure, no judgment, and no expectation to be anything other than yourself.
​
Whether you're joining a private session, breathing alongside others in a community experience, attending online, or bringing breathwork into your workplace, my hope is that you leave with more than an unforgettable experience.
​
I hope you leave with a deeper understanding of yourself and practical tools that support you long after our session ends.
Life moves fast
Between work, family, responsibilities, and the constant demands of everyday life, it's easy to lose sight of yourself.
​
At Soma Shift Studio, you'll find a welcoming space to slow down, reconnect with your body, better understand your nervous system, and experience the transformative power of guided 9D Breathwork.
​
Whether you're seeking stress relief, emotional resilience, personal growth, or simply a moment to breathe, every journey begins exactly where you are.​
What Makes 9D Breathwork Different?
​
9D Breathwork combines conscious connected breathing with multiple carefully layered elements to create a deeply immersive experience that engages both the mind and body. Rather than relying on a single technique, each professionally designed journey weaves together a variety of modalities that work in harmony to create a unique and meaningful experience.
​
​
Conscious Connected Breathing
The foundation of every session. A continuous breathing pattern that encourages greater self-awareness, presence, and a deeper connection between the mind and body.
​
3D Spatial Audio
Immersive surround-sound technology that creates the sensation of being fully surrounded by sound, helping you become absorbed in the experience with fewer external distractions.
​
Music Therapy-Inspired Soundscapes
Carefully selected music designed to support the emotional flow of each journey, creating an environment that encourages relaxation, reflection, motivation, or emotional expression.
​
Binaural Beats
Two slightly different sound frequencies presented separately to each ear, creating the perception of a third tone. These are commonly used in meditation and relaxation practices to support different brainwave states.
​
Solfeggio Frequencies
Specific sound frequencies that have long been used within meditation and sound healing traditions to promote relaxation, reflection, and inner awareness.
​
Guided Voice Coaching
Professional guidance throughout the journey, offering encouragement, breathing cues, and supportive prompts to help keep you present and engaged.
​
Guided Visualization
Purposeful imagery designed to engage the imagination and encourage deeper self-reflection throughout the experience.
​
Positive Affirmations
Carefully chosen affirmations woven into the journey to encourage self-compassion, confidence, resilience, and personal growth.
​
Hypnotic Language Patterns
Relaxation-focused language techniques used to help quiet mental distractions and encourage deeper focus throughout the experience.
​
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Techniques
Communication strategies incorporated into some journeys to encourage new perspectives, reinforce supportive beliefs, and inspire personal growth.
​
Somatic Awareness
An invitation to notice physical sensations, emotions, and internal experiences as they arise, strengthening the connection between mind and body.
​
Meditation & Mindfulness
Mindfulness practices are integrated throughout many journeys to cultivate present-moment awareness, calm, and self-observation.
​
Nervous System Education
Before each session, you'll learn how your nervous system responds to stress and how conscious breathing can become a practical tool for supporting emotional well-being and self-regulation in everyday life.
​Integration
Time is intentionally set aside after each journey to reflect on your experience, ask questions, and explore practical ways to carry what you've learned into daily life.

WHY SOMA SHIFT STUDIO?
There are many ways to experience breathwork.
​
At Soma Shift Studio, I believe what happens before and after the breathing is just as important as the journey itself.
​
Every experience begins with conversation.
​
You'll learn about your nervous system, explore your intentions, understand what to expect, and discover how your breath can become one of the most valuable tools you carry with you in everyday life
.
My role isn't to fix you.
​
It's to create a compassionate space where you feel safe enough to reconnect with yourself while providing education and guidance that supports your journey long after you leave.
​
Because when we understand our nervous system, we begin responding to ourselves with greater awareness, compassion, and confidence.
WHAT MAKES SOMA SHIFT STUDIO DIFFERENT?
Compassion First
​
Every person arrives with a different story. You'll be welcomed exactly as you are, without judgment or expectation.
​
Education That Empowers
​
Understanding your nervous system helps you better understand yourself. Every session includes practical education and tools you can use long after your experience ends.
​
A Personalized Experience
​
No two people are the same. Together, we'll choose the journey that best supports your goals, needs, and where you are today.
​
A Safe Space to Reconnect
​
Whether you're seeking relaxation, emotional release, clarity, confidence, or simply a moment to breathe, you'll be supported every step of the way.
MEET KRISTEN
Hi, I'm Kristen Horb.
​
I'm a Certified 9D Breathwork Facilitator, Nervous System Educator, and the founder of Soma Shift Studio.
​
Like many people, I've experienced seasons of stress, struggle, and transformation. My own healing journey led me to discover the incredible connection between the breath, the nervous system, and our overall well-being.
​
Today, it's my passion to create a welcoming space where others can slow down, reconnect with themselves, and discover practical tools that support lasting wellness.
​
Because I believe healing doesn't begin by becoming someone new.
​
It begins by reconnecting with who you've always been.
The Way You Breathe

Something nice to say
My first experience with Kristen and 9D breathwork, I wasn’t sure what to expect… but I went into it with an open mind, ready to reset and come back to a sense of self. Life gets busy, and sometimes that part of us gets forgotten, lost, or pushed aside. Then we’re reminded through experiences like this to reconnect with the things that make us feel good and grounded.
At one point during my first session, I said something along the lines of “come back to you,” and tears started rolling down my face. I wasn’t sad or releasing pent-up emotions — it was just a timely moment where I felt exactly where I was supposed to be. The breathing was meditative and exactly what I needed.
I came out of it feeling so light, connected, and good. It truly felt like something I want to continue as part of my self-care practice. In the days after, I did have a headache, but honestly, I think it was some form of detox from being so present and connected during the experience.
I’d absolutely recommend journeying with Kristen. I trust her fully, and I love that she’s introducing this work to others who could truly benefit from it.

"What stood out most was how personal the session felt. Kristen’s energy, guidance, and ability to hold space made me feel genuinely supported throughout. I walked out feeling lighter, grounded, motivated, and more connected to myself than I have in years.​ I truly believe everyone should experience 9D Breathwork 100%.”

"I was always curious about breathwork, and I can now say that I would definitely try it again after my first experience. ​It was relaxing, and I can see myself adding breathwork to my wellness routine.
​Thanks again, Kristen."
