I started my Breathwork journey over 20 years ago as a student Physiotherapist, learning how to treat patients with respiratory illness 🫁

A LOT has changed and emerged since then ✨

There is a whole range of brilliant Breathwork practices out there - all offering something different, in a different way, for different people 🫂
And I LOVE that! 💚
Everything starts with the Breath 🌬️

Like any unregulated sector, its down to us as consumers to check out what it is you're wanting, getting, who's offering it and how they keep you safe.

I integrate multiple facets into my practice, evidence led and influenced by my own experiences and observational study of previous patients, clients, family and friends.

You've probably heard about the 7 Types of Rest - but did you know it was created by Dr Saundra Dalton-Smith? She's a well respected American Physician and Wellbeing expert who combined her knowledge, experience and spritual approach in the creation of this well known and helpful framework.

You likely have an inkling as to which type of rest you need,
or you can take a quiz to find out.
Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two different things.
We've all been there.

As a registered healthcare practitioner and coach, I offer an holistic assessment that reveals what may be stopping your from moving beyond your current tiredness, stress and low energy, even thought you know what you could and should be doing.

Treatment programmes are based on elements of Breathwork, Movement, Creativity and Connection.

Even a short burst of birdsong, seeing greenery and acknowledging the other living species we share our small, personal ecosystems with, is enough to reduce stress and calm our minds.
Have you looked upwards and outwards lately?
Take a moment each day this week and see what else is in your ecosystem 🌿✨

💚 Seeking a life with more ease isn’t about avoiding challenges—it’s about understanding how our minds and bodies react to the world, stripping away distractions, and focusing our energy on what truly matters.

I use Breath, Movement, Creativity and Connection to help you recognise and implement your inner resources that enable you to manage stress, challenges and life noise.

We can create a life that’s easier to face each day and learn to manage physical, mental, and emotional pain with evidence led and embodied approaches.

Curious about a more easeful way of living? New groups and spaces coming soon 🌿✨

Last year, I vowed never to go on a plane again!

My fear of flying was gradually getting worse, leaving me in tears and trembling.

I had tried many things over the years to relieve the fear but just couldn't find the right combination.

The realisation that I may never get on a plane again was something I could accept and even enjoy. But, life and decisions aren't linear. I also knew I was limiting my participation in future opportunities and life events. (the obvious ecological impact is something i'll come back to another time).

So, one last go. This is what helped me actually enjoy a flight this time!
1. I took a Fearless Flyer course to get to the root cause of what I was really fearful of. Clue -it wasn't actually fear of flying.
2. I learnt about the technical aspects of flight, the noises, and the flight routines.
3. I learnt an EFT (tapping) routine that I practice in the days leading up to the flight. This helps reduce the building stress.
3. I see flight as an absolute privilege and approach it as such, with reverence.
4. I prepare my bag and flight activities with thought, rather than throwing everything in, hoping for the best. I still find reading on a plane too much, so don't bother with a book.
5. I switched from calming breath practices (longer exhale than inhale) to box breathing (equal, inhale, exhale & pauses) which has a more stabilising effect (calms with a sense of control)
6. Nasal breathing with many small breath holds (10 seconds) to help with congestion and dryness experienced by cabin environment
7. I changed my soft and soothing binaural beats for electronic dance music - this was the real surprise for me! Amongst other things, it gives my brain an anchor that helps regulate intrusive thoughts and an external focus of repetitive rhythm- a perfect partner for box breathing in my case.
8. An in flight glass of prosecco, plenty of water, dark chocolate ✨️

This is a very specific combination for me, but it may give you inspiration if you struggle.

As with any anxiety inducing events, addressing the root cause is the game changer.

And we can only address the root cause when we're ready to do so 🌿✨️

I’m surprised to find that I don’t feel like wintering right now 🤷‍♀️
And I know its not just me as I've heard others whisper it too 😊

I love the whole ethos around wintering and have adopted it heartfelt, for many years. The philosophy of resting, hibernating, reflecting, honouring the season, ready to stir a little again for Imbolc and then awaken in spring❄️

I've no doubt suggested and hoped many do the same and love seeing others keep it in our attention.
But for some reason (s) - of which I know there are many, this year, my body, mind and gut are telling me to carry on.
Embrace and lean in to the inspiration thats bubbling, the work I want to do and the new rhythms I want to create 💫

I know thats right for me just now and am enjoying what I'm doing.
I know I'll need rest at some point and I'll intuitively know when that is.

Are you ready to lean in to the Wintering vibe or are feeling the fizz of ideas and keen to stick with your resolutions ✨

There is no one answer for you to feel pressured by 💚

The key is to recognise what you need, when you need it, within the confines and avenues of your own life.

I'll be recognising the seasons, listening to their callings, acknowledging the festivals and rituals and doing my best to live in the rhythm of nature 🌿
And I'll be doing it intuitively, alongside the complexity of the life and systems I navigate each day 🌿✨💚
