Breathwork is the practice of consciously changing the way you breathe to support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing.
The way we breathe has a powerful influence on the way we feel. When we learn to work with our breath, we can begin to support our nervous system, reduce stress and reconnect more deeply with ourselves.
There are many different breathing techniques, each with its own purpose. Some are designed to help you feel calmer and more grounded, while others, such as Conscious Connected Breathwork, can invite deeper exploration and self awareness.
The breath is a powerful tool that's always with you.

Breathwork can support your wellbeing in many different ways. People often come to sessions looking to reduce stress, feel calmer, improve their sleep, increase energy, gain mental clarity or simply reconnect with themselves.
Many people also notice a greater sense of presence, emotional awareness, creativity and connection over time.
Everyone's experience is different, and there's no "right" outcome. Some sessions feel deeply relaxing, others more energising, and sometimes the biggest shift is simply becoming more aware of your breath and your body.
-
We'll begin with a conversation about what's been going on in your life, what you'd like support with and any questions you may have. We'll then set an intention for the session together.
I'll carry out a breathing assessment, looking at your natural breathing patterns. It's fascinating how much our breath can reflect the way we move through life, and this often gives us a helpful starting point.
I'll then guide you through the breathing technique. You'll breathe for around 45 minutes, followed by time to rest, integrate your experience and share anything you'd like to at the end.

That really depends on what you're looking for.
Some people book a single session because they're curious to experience breathwork, while others choose to work together over several sessions to explore things more deeply.
If you're hoping to create lasting changes in your breathing patterns or develop a regular practice, I'd usually recommend a series of three to five sessions to start with. Like most things in life, the more consistently you practise, the more you'll get out of it.

There's something really special about breathing in a group.
We'll begin by arriving together, settling into the space and setting an intention for the session. Depending on the workshop, we might pull an oracle card, spend a few moments sharing or simply check in with how we're feeling.
I'll explain the breathing technique before we gently move our bodies to help us arrive more fully in the present moment.
We'll then settle onto our mats for the breathwork journey, followed by time to rest, integrate and, if you'd like, share your experience with the group before we close.

Simply yourself in comfy clothes (ideally loose around the waistband), your water bottle, journal and pen (in case you want to write things down post session) and anything else you might like to add to your session (e.g. special item, crystal, photo etc).
-
Every breathwork facilitator brings something different to their sessions, and finding someone you feel comfortable with is really important.
My approach is gentle, grounded and centred around creating a space where you can explore your breath without pressure or expectation. I weave together Conscious Connected Breathwork with movement, sound, coaching and other somatic practices to support each person's individual experience.
Whether a session feels expansive or quiet, the intention is always the same: to help you reconnect with yourself with curiosity, compassion and patience.
I'm a fully qualified Conscious Connected Breathwork Facilitator (Transformational Breath Group Leader), accredited Life Coach and continue to deepen my learning through ongoing professional development.

Conscious Connected Breathwork isn't recommended during the first trimester of pregnancy.
If you're pregnant, or think you might be, please get in touch before booking so we can chat about what's appropriate for you. There are also certain acupressure points that I avoid during pregnancy.
-
Conscious Connected Breathwork isn't suitable for everyone, and there are some medical conditions where it may need to be adapted or avoided.
If you have any medical conditions, are taking medication or have any concerns about whether breathwork is right for you, please get in touch before booking. I'm always happy to have a chat and help you decide whether it's the right fit.
