Restore Ease. Reawaken Flow. Reclaim Your Vital Light.
You weren't designed to live in tension—or drift through life on autopilot.
At Block and Breathe, I offer a compassionate, fascia-awakening approach to breath, meditation, and intuitive movement—gently guiding your body’s natural unwinding, so you can dissolve held patterns, restore your vital current, and return to your most resonant freedom.
When your body feels better, your whole life begins to shift.
Through breathwork, meditation, Block Therapy™, and energy healing, I help you create space—
in your body, and in your being.
Space to breathe.
To feel.
To come home to your true self.
These aren't just practices of relief.
They are portals of repatterning—
melting deep tension, liberating fascia,
and restoring your natural flow
so you can move with more energy, more ease, and embodied presence.
Because the more you root into your body,
the freer your spirit becomes.
More space. More flow. More you.
Are you ready to begin your return?
Welcome to our space
at the White Barn!

What is Breathwork?
Breathwork is a practice of conscious, connected breathing that taps into the body's natural ability to heal and access self-love. It's an active and powerful form of meditation.
While there are many styles of breathwork, at Block and Breathe I guide you through a two-stage pranayama breath— a technique passed on by David Elliott. This simple yet transformative method involves breathing through the mouth with a two-part inhalation: first into the low belly, then into the high chest, followed by a relaxed exhale. I continue to train with David regularly to deepen both my practice and the experience I offer.
The benefits of breathwork are far-reaching. It can ease stress, enhance emotional well-being, boost energy, improve sleep, foster deeper connection with yourself and others, and awaken a greater sense of awe, delight, and the ability to live fully from the heart.

What is Block Therapy™ ?
Block Therapy™ is a restorative, detoxifying form of self-bodywork that decompresses fascia, releases tension and creates space for your breath to flow more freely—helping you to move through life with greater ease.
Using a specially designed wooden block (or a tightly rolled-up towel), we address adhesions in your connective tissue that build up from stress, injury, and aging.
Through conscious breathing, strategic block placement, and longer holds, restrictions in the body begin to melt away—softening tissue, easing tension, and increasing circulation. With each position, you support better alignment, mobility, and deep tissue healing.
Block Therapy™ is about unlocking ease, strength, and balance—so you can move through life feeling supported from the inside out.
The practice of Block Therapy™ is based on three core pillars:
Create Space: Decompress and release fascial adhesions throughout the body using the block.
Inflate Space: Engage in proper diaphragmatic breathing to expand the body’s internal space.
Maintain Space: Strengthen the body’s foundation to support optimal cellular alignment, improving posture, balance, and ease in daily life.

Hello, I'm Diana Benz—a breathwork facilitator, Block Therapy™ instructor, and energy healer devoted to guiding you back to your natural balance, joy, and freedom. I believe in the profound power of listening to and nurturing the body, creating space for deep healing—guided by the breath as the key to lasting transformation.
Like many, my path has been shaped by navigating life's shifts and challenges. Yoga and Reiki were my early supports—especially yoga, which became my trusted medicine for physical and emotional well-being. But as I entered my 40s, I began facing puzzling health issues. My familiar practices no longer brought the relief they once did, and I found myself grappling with chronic pain, anxiety, and a growing sense of disconnection from my body.
That turning point led me to explore new paths for healing. That's when I found Breathwork—a deeply transformative practice of active meditation that opened me up to feeling and releasing emotions I hadn’t fully accessed before. It expanded my awareness and brought profound shifts in how I relate to my body and mind. Then came Block Therapy™—an innovative fascia decompression method rooted in diaphragmatic breathing and proper alignment. This powerful work relieved pain I once thought was permanent. Together, breathwork and Block Therapy lifted me to a level of vitality and inner peace I never imagined possible—and sparked my passion to share these gifts with others.
Today, I offer holistic, non-invasive support for body and soul. My work draws from alternative wellness practices, meditation, fascia-focused self-bodywork, and energy healing to help you restore ease, reconnect with your breath, and feel more deeply at home in yourself.
I’m also a devoted mother, guide, and space holder—offering a grounded presence, reverence for nature’s rhythms, and a deep curiosity for the human experience. I hold space for growth and transformation with warmth, compassion, and care.
We all face challenges—but beyond them lies the possibility of freedom and beauty. Healing begins when we welcome what’s ready to be felt. I’m honored to support your process as you return to yourself—one breath at a time.

Medical Disclaimer: Breathwork and Block Therapy™ are powerful practices that support self-discovery, release, and transformation. Breathwork uses intentional breath and music to help you access a deeper, expanded state of awareness, while Block Therapy™ helps release tension, improve alignment, and restore balance by decompressing connective tissue. Both practices may bring up strong emotions or physical sensations as your body and mind release stored tension. It’s important to note that additional support may be helpful afterward. Always consult with a medical professional before engaging in any new physical or wellness practice, especially if you have any pre-existing conditions.
