Template Designs
I was in my 40s, I had a successful corporate London business, flew all over the world, a lovely home, family, and friends, and Ralphie, a pooch I adored who looked like a polar bear. The outside looked perfect, but inside I was in turmoil.
The loss of my dad, haunting memories of an abusive marriage, hypervigilant, panic attacks and insomnia. My outside life didn’t reflect my inside life, I battled with my mental health, my body was in a constant state of overwhelm, swinging from anxiety to depression, my hormones felt they had a mind of their own and I had a deep-rooted feeling there had to be more to life than this, I knew my body was asking me to slow down and heal and I realised happiness could only come from within.
I embraced therapy, acupuncture, yoga, nutrition, and meditation to name but a few but I could access what was inside. I booked a Breathwork class, curious but unsure what to expect. That day changed my life. I lay on a mat and was asked to actively breathe into my belly and passively exhale in a continuous cycle. After 30 minutes I started to cry, grief, sadness, and pain washed over me that I didn’t know was in me, and I felt an incredible release. A heavy weight in my heart lifted, and I felt something inside shift. I had never experienced anything like it and I instantly knew I had found something special.
Gripped, I knew I had found my answer to heal myself and over two immersive years of study I trained with experts in the field of breathwork. I trained with Patrick McKeown, founder of Oxygen Advantage to specialise in functional and performance-focused breathing methods helping me to understand the value of how we breathe day-to-day, during sleep, and to perform better at work and in life. I trained with Buteyko Clinic International, to learn the teaching of Dr. Buteyko, a breathing method to support respiratory conditions, anxiety, and sleep, which I was drawn to being an asthmatic since a little girl. However, it wasn’t until I trained with Benedict Beaumont the Founder of Breathing School, a Global Breathwork that I was able to make peace with the demons from my past, heal the relationship I had with myself, and reclaim my power to be the best version of myself on the inside – all through my breath.
That is what amazes me the most, we all have this power within to heal ourselves at every level of our mental, physical, and emotional selves, using the magic of our own breath. It’s my passion to empower you to access this gift so you may live the life you desire.

Different Types of Breathwork?
My passion is to empower you to understand, access, and benefit from a full spectrum of breathwork, whatever your needs are. There is no one-size-fits-all approach which is why I trained with a range of breathing experts and breathing modalities to meet you where you are and give you the best support through your breathwork journey.
Breathwork has two layers, the base is Functional Breathwork for optimum day-to-day health and the next level is Therapeutic Breathwork to heal our inner selves so we are free to live life at our full potential.
Optimal Health Breathwork (Functional Breathwork) optimises our day-to-day health, regulates the nervous system, promotes sleep, supports chronic health conditions such as asthma and respiratory disorders, blood pressure and circulation disorders, assists with the transition to perimenopause and menopause and enhances exercise & performance.
Conscious Connected Breathwork is a form of active meditation to access a deeper level of consciousness to release stored emotions, energy, and trauma, limiting subconscious beliefs and patterns, enhancing creativity and clarity, and entering a deep state of relaxation. Just by using our own breath, we are able to shed the layers in life that no longer serve us.

What happens in a Breathwork Coaching session
We’ll start with a discovery call so I can answer any questions and find out more about where you’re at. After a health check-in, we’ll book a journey.
I will listen to what you wish to achieve from breathwork and guide you through breathing exercises to assess your breath pattern. I am trained in a range of breathing modalities and will offer advice on breathing techniques and methods that will support your desired outcome. I will demonstrate all techniques and I wholeheartedly encourage any queries that may arise so you can feel confident in your breath practice.
After the Breathwork Coaching session
After our breathwork session, I will gently and slowly guide your breathing pattern to a light, slow, and low breath allowing you to feel relaxed. We will have time to talk about anything that has come up for you and for you to ask any questions you wish.
I will offer advice about aftercare and relevant breathing exercises following your session, so you are best placed to process and integrate your experience.
As a practitioner and a massive advocate of the benefits of breathwork, I would encourage you to introduce a daily practice into your life and I am very happy to discuss how best to achieve this and to support you in your goals.
How many sessions should I have?
Your aspirations and what you hope to gain from Breathwork are truly significant. During our discovery call, we’ll delve into this area together, and I’ll be here to provide you with valuable guidance.
Based on our discussion, I generally suggest a series of sessions. This way, we can work together over a period of time to help you achieve your desired outcomes. It’s like taking small steps toward a big, beautiful goal!

Benefits of Breathwork
Using breathwork as the vehicle for healing, I can help you.
Soothes the Nervous System
When life gets overwhelming, our nervous system can go into overdrive, causing anxious feelings, rapid breathing, a racing heart and exhaustion. With breathwork, we gently activate the parasympathetic nervous system, inviting in a sense of calm and tranquillity leading to a slower heart rate, lowered blood pressure, and an overall feeling of relaxation and ease.
Lowers Blood Pressure & Improve Circulation
Engaging in breathwork has significant benefits for blood pressure management. It promotes healthy blood circulation, widens blood vessels, and holds promise in aiding the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). This natural approach contributes to overall heart wellness.
Support Chronic health conditions, such as Asthma, Anxiety, and Sleep
The Buteyko Breathing Method focuses on nasal breathing and controlled respiration, aiding asthmatics in reducing inhaler dependence and alleviating symptoms. It also calms the nervous system, effectively managing anxiety, and enhances sleep quality for a more restorative rest.
Enhance Exercise and Sports Performance
Breathwork improves exercise performance with controlled nasal breathing and breath-hold exercises akin to high-altitude training. This optimizes oxygen utilization, leading to enhanced tissue oxygenation, increased CO2 tolerance, heightened endurance, and strengthened respiratory function, ultimately providing a competitive edge in performance.
Increases Creativity
Active Breathing exercises induce relaxation and mental clarity, fostering the emergence and flow of fresh ideas. This practice proves particularly beneficial in a problem-solving scenario.
Improves Concentration
Breathwork has proven effective for individuals seeking to improve their focus. Engaging in specific breathing techniques during moments of distraction can extend attention spans and provide a calming influence on emotions that may be diverting focus.
Overcome the Darkness of Depression
Breathworks' capacity to shift mood and anchor individuals in the present moment is invaluable in enhancing emotional well-being and fostering gratitude. Advanced breathwork techniques centre on healing, providing a therapeutic outlet for emotional struggles.
Find acceptance for your past and find a way forward.
Breathwork unlocks suppressed emotions and energy, creating a space for acknowledgement, healing and acceptance of the past. This process paves the way for letting go and personal growth.
Release grief and heartache from the body
Through intentional breathing techniques, individuals create a space for processing and letting go of emotional pain and grief promoting healing and a sense of emotional liberation.
Quite a busy, anxious mind
Breathwork activates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and reducing the intensity of racing thoughts, leading to a state of greater mental calmness and clarity.
Feel safe to release emotions like anger, regret and resentment
Breathwork offers a safe space to let go of emotions like anger, regret and resentment. Through intentional breathing techniques, we can navigate and process these feelings, fostering a sense of emotional release and relief.
Heal the relationship you have with yourself
By turning inward and practising intentional breathing, individuals can cultivate self-awareness, acceptance, and self-compassion, leading to a deeper and more nurturing connection with one's own being.

We experience our lives through the lens of our nervous system and your breath plays a fundamental role in the functioning of that nervous system. We experience our lives through the lens of our nervous system and your breath plays a fundamental role in the functioning of that nervous system.
Therefore, if you can understand your breath, you can completely transform how you experience your life. For many of us, we live in a chronic state of nervous system dysregulation, which can show up as anxiety, stress, panic attacks, depression and much more. Through the breath, we can start to bring a sense of balance and safety back to the nervous system, to help change our physical, mental and emotional state. learn more…
When it comes to diving deeper into your breathwork practice, through a technique called Conscious Connected Breathing, we have the potential to quite literally 'get out of our heads' and back into our bodies, allowing us to explore what's really going on inside.
The benefits of this kind of breathwork are numerous but I believe that they primarily come from two areas:|
Firstly, we are able to access and experience an altered state of consciousness, where our rational mind becomes quieter and our subconscious mind can become more active. The power of altered states lies in their ability to give you an experience of feelings, insights, memories, and more that are not accessible during normal waking consciousness. These experiences can be an incredibly powerful way to shift our perspective and reality. learn more

Incredible autonomy
Simply put, a large number of us do not breathe functionally or optimally for our general health and athletic performance. 80% of us have dysfunctional breathing patterns!
Whether you’re an elite athlete or a casual runner, improving your breathing is a simple way to improve and optimise your performance. Our athletic performance and all-round respiratory health require us to efficiently balance the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and ensure that oxygen is delivered efficiently to our muscles and organs. learn more

Benefits of breathwork – Transforming your health and well-being
Improved lung capacity leads to better oxygenation of tissues and organs, supporting overall vitality. Controlled breathing also aids in digestion and can strengthen the immune system.
Breathwork reduces cortisol levels and activates the release of endorphins, promoting relaxation and feelings of well-being. It's effective in alleviating symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Additionally, it enhances mental clarity and focus.
By stimulating the vagus nerve, breathwork induces a state of calmness and counters the effects of chronic stress. This leads to improved resilience to stressors and a more balanced nervous system.
