323: Using Breathwork to Facilitate Regulation, with Kurtis Lee Thomas

What if the most powerful regulation tool for your child has been sitting right under their nose all along?In this episode of Beautifully Complex, I’m joined by breathwork facilitator and trainer Kurtis Lee Thomas to talk about the overlooked power of the breath — not just for calming down in the moment, but for deep emotional healing and nervous system regulation. Kurtis breaks down how breathwork helps both parents and kids release stuck emotions, build emotional intelligence, and move from chaos to calm.

We also explore:

  • Why breathwork works fast
  • How to simplify it so even your reluctant teen or sensory-sensitive kid can engage
  • Easy rituals to incorporate it into your family’s daily life
  • Why your child’s self-awareness starts with your breath

Plus, you’ll walk away with three simple breath practices you can use anytime, anywhere.

This episode is full of practical wisdom, deep insight, and a fresh take on what emotional regulation really looks like. Take a deep breath, literally, and come listen in.

Tune in now and experience the power of the breath.
