The coach

​Alice Rubert

​

Alice Rubert grew up in the quaint town of Elk Rapids, Michigan and has planted her roots

establishing Northern Michigan as her home for over 20 years. She obtained her realtors license

in 2012 and swiftly realized how rewarding it felt to help clients build their foundation while

planting their own physical roots in this beautiful area.

​

With over ten years in the real estate business, helping others with their real estate needs, Alice

experienced burnout, depriving herself of the adequate love and attention she needed to thrive.

Upon the realization and awareness, the Universe provided a mandatory pause with the COVID

19 Pandemic. This pause allowed her to reconnect deeply with her inner highest self and assisted

her with a plan for showing up, resulting in her finding her purpose.

​

After a deep soul-search and necessary research, Alice enrolled in a health coaching program

through the renowned Chopra Center based in California where she learned about the ancient

healing science-Ayurveda and the life-changing tool and mindfulness practice of Meditation.

​

She slowly began to realize this mindfulness practice in her life had the most enormous impact.

Meditation has been such an essential tool that has helped with her social anxiety, depression,

mood, patience, and her overall Being. She had a certainty from deep down, to help others build

a strong foundation within themselves and plant meaningful roots of a whole different kind.

​

Her mission is to guide people to a place where they can experience a fullness and wholeness of

who they are. Alice finds the group meditation sessions to be special as she knows deep within, a

true sense of connection with ourselves, others, animals, nature, and with source or the divine, is

what brings meaning to our lives. Experiencing meditation can allow you not only to connect

with your highest and best self, but also to connect with other people who too, are present to

experience the same feeling of connection in Being.

 

Alice is certified in Primordial Sound Meditation; a mantra-based meditation practice with a personal mantra that incorporates the vibration the universe was making at the time and place of your birth.

​

When Alice is not helping others reconnect through her meditation practice, she enjoys spending

quality time exploring nature with her husband Eric, two dogs, and their kids Lila and Emery. She also

enjoys traveling and bonding with friends and family.

Why Meditation? 

Meditation is an intentional journey from the distractions, activity, & chaos of the outside world into deeper, quieter levels within ourselves. 

When we allow a pause, our minds settle down, becoming quieter and our bodies are able to unwind, relax, and re-center. Within minutes our body, mind, & soul receive a deep level of rest – a detoxification process where we effortlessly dissolve the deep-rooted stresses, fatigue, learned patterns, & emotions which don’t serve us. 

 

When we bring our attention to the present moment, we are able to celebrate the beauty & fullness of life, experience more joy & happiness. We become more grateful for the little things, our health improves, we have more concentration, we make space for more creativity, compassion, and kindness. With a consistent meditation practice, anything is possible in a world of possibility! 

What's a typical session like?

Each session can include up to 20 minutes of guided meditation, followed by a few minutes of silent meditation. Time for Q&A and discussion after based around the topic/session. Practicing in a group setting is a great way to form connections with others who are also present to experience the same feeling of connection, in Being.

  • ARE THERE ANY REASONS I SHOULDN’T PARTICIPATE IN REVELATION BREATHWORK?
    o Revelation Breathwork sometimes results in intense physical and emotional release. Please consult with your medical provider before practicing this type of breathing if you have a history of  cardiovascular disease  Heart attack  High blood pressure  Glaucoma  Retinal detachment  Osteoporosis  Significant recent physical injuries, or surgery  Any conditions for which you take regular medications  History of panic attacks, psychosis  Severe mental illnesses  Seizure disorders  Family history of aneurysms  Reference: Grof S. The Adventure of Self-Discovery. Albany, NY: State of University of New York Press, 1988 - Revelation Breathwork o Pregnant women are advised against practicing Revelation Breathwork due to the potential for oxygen levels in the blood to shift. o Persons with asthma should have their inhaler close by just in case and consult with their primary care physician. o Persons with infectious or communicable diseases or COVID should avoid practice until they are feeling well and cleared by their health practitioner. o This work is deeply experiential. It may involve intense & energetic emotional release. Revelation Breathwork does not substitute for psychotherapy, but it can significantly deepen and enhance psychotherapy and other healing and personal growth efforts.
  • HOW OFTEN SHOULD I ATTEND A REVELATION BREATHWORK CLASS/SESSION?
    o There is no one correct answer to this question. Revelation Breathwork is a very effective tool that allows a person to release mental and emotional stress, as well as connect to their spiritual authentic self. o Each Revelation Breathwork session is different because we are different each time we engage in the practice. Therefore, we recommend that you do Revelation Breathwork regularly. You are investing time into the relationship with yourself, and/or your partner, and/or as a group. In my experience, I find that practicing Revelation Breathwork at least once a week helps with my mood and energy. If you think of Revelation Breathwork as an energetic detox and recharge, it makes sense to do it regularly, just like brushing your teeth.
  • DO YOU OFFER REVELATION BREATHWORK OUTSIDE OF THE WATERSIDE WELLNESS STUDIO?
    o Yes! I’d be happy to host a Revelation Breathwork session at your home or place of work! For larger groups 25 people maximum is $100/per person. For smaller more intimate groups 10 people maximum $100/per person. We can focus on a theme; abundance, vulnerability, safety, communication, love, openness, compassion, surrender, empowerment.
  • WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE IN REVELATION BREATHWORK?
    o Revelation Breathwork is the ideal activity for so many because it truly meets you where you are. If you need physical relaxation, you will receive that. If you need an emotional release, you will experience that. If you need a mental break from constant thought and worry, you will receive that. If you are open to mystical experiences, you can have that as well. Sometimes it can be very emotional other times it can be light and joyful. Other times we can access new ideas & insights or inspirations we need for our business & creative projects. Infinite possibilities, life is limitless, you are one with life! o The most important part of Revelation Breathwork is to allow yourself to have whatever experience you are having, without judging it, wanting it to stop, trying to deny that you are having it, or wishing it was different. If you are able to surrender to the experience and trust that your body is safe and knows what it can handle, you will have a healing and rejuvenating experience. o With Revelation Breathwork you are in complete control of the experience. If it is getting too intense you simply stop or slow your active breathing. Revelation Breathwork is empowering for this very reason. You are the person who is controlling the breathing. Nothing is being done to you. o Participants regularly report that Revelation Breathwork has helped them to:  sleep longer and dramatically improve the quality of their sleep  relieve chronic pain  shift depression  release anger  support recovery from addiction  receive intuitive insights  clarify troublesome areas of their lives  participants report that it helps them find meaning and purpose in their life, get rid of negative thoughts diminish their fear of death, release accumulated stress and trauma, and feel a sense of greater connection with physical, emotional, and spiritual parts of themselves.
  • WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING A REVELATION BREATHWORK SESSION?
    o A Revelation Breathwork session is approximately 60-70 minutes long, separated into three parts. Each participant has their own space and usually lays on a mat or blanket. o To start the session and create a safe container for the Breathwork session we practice a centering meditation, these are for both a private and group/couple session. o The first part includes a breakdown of how the session will go, along with an introduction explaining how to do the 2-part active breathing technique. We make sure everyone understands the process before moving forward. During a group session we may also raise a brief theme like abundance, surrender, empowerment, or compassion as examples. o The second part consists of the active breathing portion. This lasts about 30-32 minutes. It is accompanied by a personal playlist that incorporates positive, upbeat music that has a good beat and energy. Some people like to breath to the beat of the music if it so suits them. Towards the end of the active breathing session, there is a song with bigger energy where participants are encouraged to let out a big, primal scream or dance, shake out excess energy. This can be an incredible release. o The third part is the rest & receive portion of the class. This where the active breathing technique stops and we transition to regular nose breathing, like savasana in yoga. Softer music is played and participants are guided through a process.
  • CAN I PRACTICE REVELATION BREATHWORK ON MY OWN, WITHOUT THE USE OF A FACILITATOR?
    o Yes, once you’ve learned the Revelation Breathwork technique with a Revelation Breathwork facilitator, you can start simple and find a 7–10-minute music track (or tracks) and then add about 3 minutes of rest afterward. That’s only 10 minutes out of your day to center and care for yourself.
  • WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN REVELATION BREATHWORK?
    o Revelation Breathwork is an experience accessible to almost everyone. It’s ideal for anyone who wants to:  access healing and insight  expand consciousness  tap into more creativity  release stress or anxiety  move past the feeling of being stuck and re-energize their life  release emotional or physical symptoms and unproductive behavior patterns  transform the negative side effects of long-forgotten events buried deep in their unconscious  heal trauma  connect more deeply or get in touch with their spiritual essence  be supported through a period of mourning or grieving  explore feelings about the state of the world around them  work through physical illness by exploring emotional issues associated with the illness  discover their higher calling or vocation  experience mystical states  move on from depression  overcome feelings of discouragement, listlessness, or disorientation  become empowered  experience the power of the breath  deepen their capacity to support themselves and their loved ones  access their inner wisdom and intuition  know themselves more deeply  create a more fulfilling life
  • HOW CAN I INTEGRATE MY EXPERIENCE AFTER A SESSION?
    o Revelation Breathwork is extremely personal. As such, participants have a wide-range of experiences that are unique to their lives. It is common to be at a loss for words after a session since your analytical mind has been moved to the side. When the session is over, this analytical mind can come rushing in wanting to understand or explain what happened. There are several ways to integrate after a session:  Some people find that talking about their experience can validate it. They find comfort in discussing the experience with others  Other people wish to remain in silence and enjoy the quiet before the analytical mind kicks in  It’s common to feel ungrounded after a session. Drinking water helps a lot, as does eating nourishing foods. Get out in nature and get your bare feet on the earth if weather permits.  Some people like to journal or draw after their experience  Some people feel charged and energized, while others may feel drained o All experiences are OK. And because each session is different, how we feel after each session may be different. If you have any concerns about how you feel after a session, please contact your facilitator to discuss how to manage your experiences.
