Team SOCOM Archery Athlete, Warrior Games 2019

The bow is an ancient tool used for survival as well as for self-mastery. Emily’s relationship to the bow began as a breath coach to an elite archer. In teaching him how to use the physiology of breath to his advantage, he taught her the elements of shooting that would help her make sense of how the breath could fit into his craft. Within an hour of working with him, she knew archery was something she needed in her life.

Her breath coaching helped him win gold medals and his archery and leadership coaching helped her pursue bow-hunting and personal growth in all aspects of life. Her mentor retains anonymity as a retired special warfare veteran and together they coach through Challenge Aspen Military Opportunities (CAMO) in a signature Adaptive Archery Breathwork Camp held near Basalt, Colorado. They have also coached together at the Department of Defense Warrior Games to support athletes in the use of breath with the bow for personal performance on and off the range.

Emily and her coach can create custom retreats for civilians or can bring their archery and breath program to groups supporting combat-wounded veterans. Please fill out the form on this page if you would like to meet and learn more.

BREATHE :: AIM :: RELEASE

Breathe Aim Release is a unique coaching program that empowers clarity and personal power. This modulated program uses yoga, somatic movement therapy, thought work, breath work and the bow to carve new patterns in your nervous system’s response to stress of any kind. All levels of skill in any of these modalities are welcome. The requirement is an honest willingness to disrupt limiting beliefs, align with clear aim towards what you want to create in life, and explore the mechanics of presence, clarity and allowing to inform new patterns and paradigms.

Please fill out this form if you’re interested in starting Breathe Aim Release or creating an archery retreat as these are not listed on our calendar; they are customized for groups and individuals.

Veterans are on the front lines of our Nation's health crisis, and it's our duty to address their well being to serve alongside them in reclaiming our collective health. Since 2006 we have partnered with Challenge Aspen Military Opportunities (CAMO) and other nonprofits to bring evidence-based Intrinsic Skills in sleep, breath, nutrition and safe movement to veterans. Our archery breathwork camps are a signature example of how risk and empowering physiology can positively direct health outcomes. These camps empower people to harness their own well-being with skills that are innate and accessible to all levels. We serve hundreds of Veterans per year.
