Roanne Calizo is pioneering a transformative approach to wellness in Northern Virginia through her practice, “9D Breathwork.” With a unique blend of breathwork, multi-dimensional sounds, and hands-on healing techniques, Roanne is helping her clients experience profound emotional and physical transformations.

A Transformative Breathwork Experience

Roanne’s sessions are more than just breathing exercises—they are a journey into the depths of healing. Each session, lasting between one to one and a half hours, begins with 10 minutes of training and activating exercises, followed by 40 minutes of active mouth breathing while listening to 9D immersive healing sounds. Roanne guides her clients through coaching and visualizations, incorporating hands-on techniques such as marma massage and healing touch, along with aromatherapy to enhance the experience. For those participating in group sessions, headsets are provided to ensure privacy, allowing each individual to focus entirely on their own journey.

Roanne’s sessions are designed to prepare clients both mentally and physically, with activating exercises that set the stage for the transformative work ahead. She even incorporates screaming therapy and movement exercises, allowing clients to release deep-seated emotions and tensions. The results are often immediate, with clients reporting profound emotional releases and transformations after just one session.

A Unique Approach Backed by Science

What sets Roanne apart is her unique combination of holistic healing and scientific rigor. With a background in cancer research at Johns Hopkins, Roanne brings credibility and a data-driven approach to her work. Her methods are informed by her extensive experience in both science and personal development, making her services not only transformative but also grounded in evidence-based practices.

Roanne’s previous experience as a stress and anxiety coach, coupled with her background in Human Resources and program management, gives her a deep understanding of workplace stress. This allows her to guide clients dealing with professional pressures, offering them effective strategies to manage stress and anxiety.

The Journey to 9D Breathwork

Roanne’s journey to founding 9D Breathwork began after she experienced burnout in the corporate world. Seeking a more impactful way to help others, she transitioned from being a stress and anxiety coach to exploring breathwork and healing. Her personal transformation, which involved letting go of attachments and embracing a new path, inspired her to create a modality that could offer similar breakthroughs for her clients.

Growing up in the Philippines, Roanne was exposed to self-help books from an early age, thanks to her parents. This early exposure to personal development set the foundation for her lifelong passion for helping others achieve their fullest potential. After moving to the United States at the age of 16, Roanne lived in Maryland and California before settling in Northern Virginia, where she now runs her business.

Challenges and Aspirations

As a “one-woman show,” Roanne faces the challenges of consistent marketing and branding. While networking and word-of-mouth referrals have been effective in attracting clients, she is considering placing more focus on solidifying the “9D Breathwork Transformation” brand to reach a wider audience. She started offering a 12-week program to give her clients ongoing emotional support with maximum scheduling and theme flexibility. There are currently 7-8 students about to embark on their 12-week program in the month of September.

A Life Beyond Breathwork

Outside of her work, Roanne enjoys a rich personal life filled with activities that nourish her body and soul. She loves dancing, snowboarding, cooking, and exploring new wellness modalities, constantly seeking ways to enhance her own well-being. Originally from the Philippines, Roanne’s journey has taken her across the globe, but she has found a home in Northern Virginia, where she continues to grow both personally and professionally.

Roanne Calizo is more than just a breathwork facilitator—she is a guide to transformation, helping her clients unlock their true potential through the power of breath and holistic healing. With “9D Breathwork,” Roanne is making a lasting impact on the lives of those who are ready to take the next step in their personal development journey.
