EP3 Cat Almanzor Hancock: HypnoBreathwork, Purple Lavender & Small Town Love

Ready to breathe, relax, and maybe even learn a thing or two about lavender? Today we're chatting with Cat, a certified hypnobreathwork facilitator, energy healer, and local Duvall hero who’s blending Filipino roots with new-age tunes. Expect laughs, lavender, and a whole lot of heart in this fun, quick-hit episode.
In this episode:

• Cat shares her inspiring comeback story from a three-month coma and how it led her to hypnobreathwork
• Learn what makes her trademark 'ka-activation' breathwork unique (think: energy fireworks, not yoga)
• Discover her top local spots in Duvall: from breakfast at Grateful Bread to sushi at Flavor Bistro
• The scoop on her new studio and the sweet 15% off promo code DTV15
• Cat reveals her favorite scent (hint: purple blooms, not Filipino lavender) and why embodiment is key
• Rapid-fire fun: sunrise versus sunset, tacos or pizza, mountain bike or river float
