Breath. Body. Presence. Transformation.

Hey, I'm Marilyn Deguire, the founder of Embody Rising.

I guide people back to themselves through breathwork, body awareness, and emotional integration—so they can move through life with more presence, ease, and joy.

I’m a bilingual (French/English) breathwork and embodiment coach, certified in Vivation and trained in breath science, nervous system regulation, Conscious Connected Breathing and integrative body-based modalities. But more than that—I’m someone who has walked this path, deeply.

I don’t offer quick fixes. I offer real, grounded, and transformative experiences for people who are ready to feel more, not less.

I believe our breath is a doorway. I believe the body holds intelligence the mind can’t access. I believe our emotions don’t need to be fixed, they need to be felt. I believe resistance is not the enemy - it’s the invitation.

I believe that when we meet ourselves with honesty and compassion, we change.

"Breathwork is the doorway to connect to self, it's our birthright…it's so natural, its life. Integrating the breath allows me to find peace and more presence as I continue to unravel new layers in myself and make space for more aliveness."

I am deeply devoted to share this work.

My Journey

This work didn’t start in a training - it started in my own body.

Years ago, I found myself in a job that drained me, disconnected from myself, from purpose, and experiencing severe health issues. That moment cracked something open in me. It led me into movement, dance, integrative body psychotherapy, and eventually into the deeper world of breathwork.

Through years of personal exploration, training, and healing - including experiences of burnout, joy, trauma, deep reconnection, and resilience. I began to understand the true power of the breath. The breath as a door. The body as a compass. Emotions as energy that can move when we stop resisting them.

Every piece of this journey now informs the way I hold space for others.

How I Work

My approach blends:

Functional Breath Training

To support stress recovery and daily well-being.

Nervous System Education

To help you understand and regulate your internal state.

Vivation Breathwork

A gentle, powerful process for emotional integration.

Inner Resourcing & Integration Tools

To anchor safety, support emotional flow, and apply insights to life.

Embodiment and Emotional Awareness

So you can reconnect with your felt sense and internal truth.

Conscious Connected Breathing

A circular breath pattern that helps access deeper awareness, emotion, and support energy flow.

Whether we’re working one-on-one, in a retreat, or with your team - I guide with presence, softness, and structure, creating space for what’s real to emerge and be met.
