I’m Portia, a certified and trauma-informed breathwork facilitator dedicated to guiding you on a journey to nervous system regulation and emotional healing. My passion lies in empowering individuals to regain control over their reactions, responses, and emotions, allowing them to reconnect with their authentic selves and break free from the suffocating grip of daily overwhelm. I work with people who feel disorientated and overwhelmed by the mundanity of adult life and sense unease around this version of themself and the life they are living. The research is clear across physical, neurological, and emotional systems, that working with the breath is fundamental for healing and presence. We can regulate our nervous system via the vagus nerve – the longest nerve in the body – it connects your brain to many organs including the gut, heart, and lungs – it also influences your breathing, digestive functioning, and heart rate – all of them are closely related to your wellbeing and mental health – breathing in a way that stimulates your vagus nerve also activates the restore and repair function. Your breath will bring you home again, and again. I am: Qualified / Accredited / Insured

This relaxation session isn’t about reinventing yourself or having a breakthrough moment on a yoga mat. It’s simply an hour where your body gets the memo that it’s allowed to stand down!

You don’t need to be good at relaxing and you certainly don’t need to arrive calm. You can come exactly as you are whether that’s slightly hectic, mildly sceptical, fully human and let the structure of the session do the work.

You sit or lie down comfortably and I guide you through breathing patterns to promote calm and relaxation.

If you’ve been meaning to try it but keep waiting for a week that feels less busy, this is probably your sign!

Salwayash Village Hall, Friday 6th March, 7–8pm.

Come and finish the week properly. Booking link is in the bio.

Or book here: https://portiamcmenemy.as.me

I’d love to welcome you to the session.

Do shout with any questions. Concession code available at checkout.

Online (via Zoom) ‘Breathwork for Relaxation’ session is happening tonight at 8pm.

If you’ve been meaning to join or feel like you need a proper exhale before the week begins - this is your moment!

This is your permission slip to pause.
To sink into stillness, soften the edges and give your nervous system the care it deserves… all without leaving the house.

✨ Camera off is totally fine
✨ Come as you are - in bed, on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket
✨ Cosy socks and a warm drink always welcome

We’ll ease into an hour of calm breathing, gently soothing the body and quieting the mind.

Looking forward to a peaceful hour together.

Proof that calm can happen in a meeting room too!

A really lovely session with the team last week sharing everyday breathwork tools for stress, focus and those mid afternoon slumps we all know too well.

Thanks so much for having me 🙏

People don’t need permission to breathe, but it’s striking how often it feels like they’ve been given it.

Whether it’s care or strategy doesn’t really matter to me. The breath works either way.
