You know that feeling where your mind is exhausted but your body feels switched on?
Like your system can’t quite settle?

So often, this comes back to overbreathing — taking fast, shallow breaths without realising it.

Most people breathe 16–20 times per minute, which signals to the body:
stay alert, stay ready, something might be wrong.

A gentle place to begin:
Slow down to 6–8 steady breaths per minute.
Let your exhales be a little longer than your inhales.
Inhale through the nose for 4, exhale through the nose for 6

Nothing forced.
Just a quiet reminder to the body that it’s safe to switch off.

Little shifts like this make a big difference over time.

Your breath is the magic!

This is your invitation into a peaceful pause.

A moment just for you.

A space where you can arrive and breathe.
No phones.
No kids.
No noise.

Just room to exhale… to let go… to be.

One thing I see often is women trying to change how they feel while their breath is sending completely different signals to their nervous system.

When the breath is rushed, shallow, or irregular, the body stays in “alert mode,” no matter how much you try to calm yourself.

When the breath becomes steady and intentional, the system begins to settle.

This is why, in my 1:1 Breathwork Coaching, we don’t start with big changes or routines.
We start with the breath — the most foundational part of how you move through the world.
From there, we gently explore other habits, stressors, and patterns shaping your everyday state.

It’s simple, grounding work…
and it creates real shifts.

I currently have one space left for women who feel that gentle pull toward a calmer, steadier way of being.

This is something that drops in for me often, especially when I see women trying so hard to feel “better”:

Calm isn’t something you chase.

It’s something your body already knows.

It just gets buried under expectations, pressure, and everything you’re carrying.

Sometimes the most powerful shift doesn’t come from forcing yourself to be calm…
but from creating enough space to remember what ease feels like.

Take a slow breath through your nose.
Drop your shoulders.
Notice the part of you that wants to let go.
Exhale through your nose.
How does that feel?

Your calm hasn’t disappeared — it’s still here, waiting to be recognised again.

Your breath tells the story of how you’re really doing — even when you’re not saying a word.

It quickens when you’re under pressure, holds when you’re anxious, and softens when you finally feel safe.

Most of us move through the day without noticing these shifts, yet our breath is always communicating with the nervous system.

Today, just notice.

Notice when your breath feels tight or shallow.

Notice when it deepens without effort.

This simple awareness is where regulation begins — not by forcing calm, but by listening to what your body is already saying.

This week's session is all about creating peaceful space:

🌿 for full breaths that fill our bodies with peace
🌿 for pauses that allow us to feel the silence within
🌿 for experiencing what calmness truly feels like in a body that has slowed down long enough for you to be able to notice

We’ll spend time in that peaceful calmness, allowing it to find its home in our bodies, allowing our nervous systems to integrate this as a preferred state of being. ✨

And we will carry this peace into the rest of our day, sharing it with everyone we interact with, letting it permeate our thoughts and actions.



If you have been craving peace, join us this Sunday for a Guided Breathwork Session

9:30am – 10:30am
Men’s Shed Hall, Mary Street, Malanda

What to bring:
• Yoga mat
• Cushion and/or bolster for comfort
• Blanket or socks if you get cold easily
• Water bottle

To support a comfortable breathing experience avoid heavy foods/meals in the 2 hours leading up to the class.

DM me and let me know if you can make it! 🥰

I can’t guarantee that breathwork will work for you…

At least not if it’s just random practices used here and there to “relax” or “get out of fight or flight.”

Because if how you breathe — not just during practice, but every single breath you take — is sending mixed signals to your nervous system, those techniques might not create the shift you’re longing for.

If your breath stays shallow, your body still hears: something’s not right.
If you’re breathing too fast, your system stays on alert.
If your breath is uneven, your nervous system hears: danger.

So if you’ve been trying breathwork and not feeling the change you expected —
maybe it’s not the practice that’s the problem.

Maybe it’s time to look deeper —
at how you breathe day to day,
the movement of your diaphragm,
your habits, your stress load,
and the experiences your body still holds.

We are whole beings.
No part of us works in isolation.

When we want to shift how we feel — our mood, energy, and sense of calm —
we have to begin with the full picture.

If you’re feeling the pull to move through life with more steadiness, ease, and energy,
I currently have two spaces open for my 1:1 Personal Breathwork Coaching.

We start with your breath —
the remote control of your nervous system so we want to get every single breath you take right.
Blended with conscious conversation, to uncover what else is shaping your state,
and Reiki to release the energetic blocks keeping you stuck.

This is where deep, sustainable change begins —
a gentle return to the calm, capable version of you that’s been there all along.

✨ Link in comments for details or DM me if you’d like to chat about what this could look like for you.

When life feels full, your body notices.

It carries the stress, the tension, the endless mental lists.

Even when you’re “resting,” it can feel like you’re still switched on — holding it all together, keeping up, pushing through.

This session is your invitation to pause.
To lie down.
To breathe.

Guided breathwork gives your nervous system a chance to reset.

As you’re guided through simple breathing patterns, your body begins to soften, your mind starts to quieten, and the weight you’ve been carrying can finally release.

You don’t need to know how to do it — I’ll guide you the whole way.

You simply arrive as you are, close your eyes, and let your breath do the work.

Leave lighter, calmer, deeply relaxed.
