Breath Therapy

✨ It was such a joy to work with this client and witness the life-changing effects that Buteyko breathing had on her long-term chronic cough.

Over the years she’d had scans, invasive tests, tried various medications and felt she’d exhausted every option — yet nothing made a difference.

Her family were frustrated, and she felt embarrassed to attend the theatre, cinema, weddings, funerals, or any quiet gathering where her coughing constantly drew attention. It affected every part of her daily life.

By chance, a friend of one of my previous clients (who had experienced something similar) mentioned Buteyko breathing and Breath Therapy. She wasn’t convinced it would help, but decided she had nothing to lose.

The results were almost immediate — and over time, the programme helped her rebuild healthy, sustainable breathing habits. 🌿

If you struggle with a chronic cough or constant throat clearing, get in touch to find out if Buteyko could help you too.

Saturday 16 August @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm £25pp

Join certified instructors Alissa Powell and Bridget Morris for a fun 3-hour Tai Chi Qigong workshop designed to restore balance, build vitality, and calm the mind.

We’ll begin with a gentle Qigong warm-up to awaken the body and settle the breath, followed by step-by-step instruction in the Yang Style 8 Movements — a graceful, accessible form that supports strength, mobility, and inner focus. We’ll end with a guided meditation, a cup of soothing herbal tea, and delicious homemade healthy treats.

Whether you’re completely new to Tai Chi or Qigong, or are looking to deepen your practice, this is a relaxed and welcoming space to move, breathe, and reconnect.

What did people say about our last workshop?

*"IT'S A WORKSHOP THAT EVERY WOMAN SHOULD TAKE"*

"Wonderful experience! The Qigong portion of the course was very centering and meditative. The movements were done at a slow and controlled pace along with focused breathing. Very powerful. It was paired perfectly with the self-defence part of the course. Through partnering with other students, we were able to practice real time scenarios. We learned skills for defusing situations and for protecting ourselves if a situation escalates. It’s a workshop that every woman should take. Highly recommend!"
