Breathing is Medicine with Shanila Sattar

Shanila Sattar is a 4th generation sound healer, breathwork coach, women’s researcher, national speaker, and host of a Top 6 podcast, The Playground. She is the founder of AlwaysPlay Studios and The Integrative Healing Academy, which trains sound healers and breathwork facilitators, and THE PLAYGROUND which mentors aspiring healers in health and wellness. She practices integrative wellness - considering a person's emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. She loves to mix the science and the woo in her practice and hopes that she’s able to reach people who may feel that wellness is inaccessible to them. She is particularly interested in helping BIPOC healers hone their crafts and close wellness gaps in our communities. In the past years, she’s supported 1000s to do the same through programs, mentorships, and trainings, being one of the first to receive grants from the State of California to bring holistic healing such as sound and breathwork to clinical populations. She’s implemented programs in women’s shelters, veteran’s legions, and underserved school populations to continue this work. 
Her background is in tech, having co-founded an award winning web agency, and in women’s research science, specifically in mindsets, implicit bias, perfectionism, women's health, and societal experiences supported through the National Science Foundation, National Institute of Health, and several universities.
