Braithe Center: Breathing New Life Into Souls

The Braithe Center is a spiritual farm…a place for breathing new life into souls.  Named the Braithe Center in the old Southern tradition of naming one’s homesite, this gorgeous property offers a country feel rich with wetlands and wildlife yet close to Hwy 17/Market Street, I-40 bypass and minutes from Wilmington Int’l Airport (ILM) and area beaches (Wrightsville Beach/Topsail Island).

“Braithe” in old Scots means “breath”.  It is a Gaelic word meaning “to whine or cry out” in this sense in pain or in victory as wounds of the past are healed and as karmic imprints are released.  Stepping onto the land you can feel it’s energy from generations before who have lived here and worked the land.  It’s healing soil, nourishing their spirits as they worked the land to provide for their families.  Allow it to breathe new life into your soul and leave feeling energized as you do. 

• Hypnotherapy Services with Bryn Blankinship are by appointment only due to the private setting we've chosen for doing this deep, personal work.  We are not available for drop-ins as we are most likely in an appointment with another client.   
• Located in a farmhouse,  it is not equipped for wheelchair access.  There are 2 interior steps.
• We ask that when you do turn down the roadway to the Braithe, you drive slow out of respect for the neighbors, their children, and the wildlife...
• Once you pull up, turn off cellphones and begin to leave the outside world behind...
• Upon stepping out of the car, take a breath and really connect with the land, feel her as you walk up to our entrance, reconnect and let her breathe new life into your soul!

Surrounded by wildlife and wetlands, The Braithe Center is located on the northside of Wilmington in a farmhouse in the Scott’s Hill area just past Porter’s Neck at Sidbury Road (near Poplar Grove Plantation). 

Many are drawn to Wilmington’s lovely beaches for quiet reflection afterward a session while dolphins swim just off shore, while others enjoy a walk through Poplar Grove Plantation’s nature trails or along Wilmington’s historic waterfront area downtown.
