Many people unknowingly over-breathe, especially when they feel anxious or stressed. We’re often told to “take a big breath” to calm down, but for many nervous systems, that advice can actually do the opposite.

One of the most important things I work on with my Functional Breathing clients is how they breathe, moment to moment, day and night.

That means looking at things like how fast they’re breathing, whether they’re breathing through their nose or mouth during the day and during sleep, and whether their breathing is light & diaphragmatic, or shallow & chest-based.

Chronic over-breathing lowers carbon dioxide levels in the body. CO₂ isn’t just a waste gas, it’s essential for releasing oxygen from the blood into the brain and tissues. When CO₂ drops too low, blood vessels constrict, oxygen delivery is reduced, and the brain can become overstimulated. This can show up as a racing mind, heightened anxiety, and constant mental chatter.

This is why a core focus of my work is restoring slow, quiet, nasal breathing. When breathing becomes gentler and more efficient, CO₂ levels normalize, oxygen delivery improves, and the nervous system receives a powerful signal of safety.

Calm doesn’t come from breathing more.
Very often, it comes from breathing less, but better.

Wondering if your breathing patterns might be fuelling your symptoms? Let's chat - we offer no-pressure free Discovery Chats.

There’s a quiet moment many people reach when they realise something like this:

“I’ve been coping… but I don’t actually feel well.”

If symptoms are lingering, evolving, or slowly stacking up, it’s rarely because your body has “failed you.” It’s because the root causes haven’t been properly addressed yet.

And, here’s the hopeful part:
When you do prioritise your health & get the right support, things often shift faster than you expect. Our body's are healing machines, always trying to return to balance; but they need the right support. Treating at 'symptom-level' is never going to get you feeling well long-term.

But when we identify & address the root cause/s:

Energy returns
Digestion settles
Weight & hormones begin to rebalance
Sleep becomes restorative
Your nervous system moves out of survival mode

And these improvement ripple outward.
Life feels easier, more flowing, more joyful. You have more capacity for the things that really matter to you & to live they way you truly want.

If you’re actively looking for a naturopath & wondering where to start, we invite you to book a free discovery chat with Beth.

✨ This is a no-pressure, no-obligation conversation.
✨ A space to ask questions, be heard, & get clarity.
✨ A chance to see if working together feels like a great fit.

You don’t need to wait until things get worse to take action. The most powerful step is simply taking the first step & getting started.

It's time. If you've been thinking about booking an appointment... You know it's likely your breathing patterns are playing a role in your symptoms...

Maybe late at night when your mind won’t switch off.
Maybe after another restless sleep.
Maybe when your body feels wired, tired, breathless, or just… not quite right.

And then life keeps moving. You put it off. Again.

Here’s your reminder: your breathing patterns affect every system in your body. It’s your nervous system, your sleep, your stress resilience, your calm, your endurance & recovery from physical exertion, your capacity to heal.

At Vida Breathworks, we don’t push or force the body.
We teach it how to feel safe again.
How to breathe in a way that restores, steadies, promotes balance and strengthens from the inside out, to address:

✨ Chronic stress
✨ Anxiety or overwhelm
✨ Poor sleep quality
✨ Breathlessness, cough & tension
✨ Feeling “on edge” in your own body

These are not things you just have to accept & live with. They’re signals.

Your health is your greatest wealth. And learning how to work with your breath puts you back in control.

If you’ve been meaning to book… this is your nudge.
Start with a free discovery chat or simply book your first consultation.

Your nervous system will thank you.
And future-you will thank you.

👉 Reach out. Let’s begin.

Have you tried everything to lose weight…?
Eating less. Eating more. Cutting carbs. Adding carbs. Medications. Diet plans. High intensity exercise, that leaves you exhausted but no lighter?
All this, but your body still won’t respond?

If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and feel like your metabolism has changed the rules without telling you, you’re not imagining it.

At Vida Naturopathics, I work with women using our 12-week Metabolic Balance program, a extremely personalised nutrition program based on your blood chemistry, hormones, inflammatory markers, and health history. The other differentiating factor; it comes with a high level of personalized one-on-one support for 12-weeks. This is critical when it comes to long term change.

One-size-fits-all does not take into account all the complexities; your unique biochemistry, underlying root causes, strengths/weaknesses, health history, etc.

Metabolic Balance is focused on matching food to your biochemistry; healthy sustainable weight loss only becomes possible when we address chronic inflammation & restore metabolic health & balance.

I offer a free discovery chat to explore:
• why your body may be resisting weight loss
• how menopause, stress, and inflammation play a role
• whether our Metabolic Balance program could be a supportive fit for you

If you’re constantly tired, wired, anxious, feeling like you can't get in a big enough breath, or waking up unrefreshed regardless of how much you sleep…
there’s a high chance your breathing patterns are quietly working against you.

We tend to assume breathing is automatic and therefore “fine.”
In reality, dysfunctional breathing is incredibly common and places ongoing stress on the nervous system, impairing sleep, energy levels, digestive & immune function, and even cardiovascular health.

At Vida Breathworks, I help people gently retrain their breathing so their body can shift out of survival mode and back into balance and restoration.

This is especially powerful if you’re dealing with things like:

• chronic stress or anxiety
• poor sleep or waking unrefreshed
• breathlessness or air hunger
• dizziness, fatigue, or nervous system overwhelm
• conditions like POTS, long COVID, hypertension, or nervous system dysregulation

I offer a free discovery chat so we can connect, and talk about what you’re experiencing, explore whether functional breathing support is right for you, and map out next steps without any pressure or obligation.

If your body feels like it’s always “on,” this is very likely an area you need to address. Your breathing may not have been the original cause of your symptoms, but it will be exacerbating your symptoms, and impairing your recovery until you restore it.

I love seeing this trend. Of course, it’s what we do most of the time that shapes our health, but a collective shift toward drinking less is genuinely good news for our bodies and our nervous systems. Despite the glossy stories we were sold about “healthy” moderate drinking, red wine especially, the research is very clear that there is no truly health-promoting level of alcohol. It negatively affects our sleep, gut health, nutrient status, mood, hormones, and so much more. Does that mean we can never enjoy a beautiful glass of champagne with people we love? Of course not. But when alcohol is no longer a regular habit, we get to enjoy those moments freely, without quietly borrowing from our long-term health. 🥂 Now that is worth celebrating.

Many people don’t realise this, but
how you breathe is shaping how you feel, think, heal, and age.

Dysfunctional breathing patterns are incredibly common.

Fast breathing. Shallow chest breathing. Mouth breathing. Habitual sighing or yawning.

And when this becomes your default, your nervous system lives in survival mode affecting everything.

The result?

→ Lower stress resilience
→ Poor sleep quality or insomnia
→ Anxiety, low mood & overwhelm
→ Chronic fatigue
→ Digestive issues
→ High blood pressure
→ Constant muscle tension
→ Reduced immune function

And a body that feels stuck in “on” mode, regardless of how exhausted you feel.

At Vida Breathworks, we specialise in restoring healthy, functional breathing patterns so your body can finally do what it was designed to do. Rebalance, restore, heal, regulate.

When breathing patterns return to healthy & functional:

• The nervous system regulates
• Oxygen delivery improves
• Carbon dioxide balance normalises
• Blood flow improves
• Inflammation reduces
• Sleep deepens
• Energy returns

And, a whole range of chronic symptoms start to resolve
This is breathwork as physiology (not a trend).

When breathing improves, everything improves.

If you’ve tried supplements, diets, therapy, or exercise and still feel like something fundamental isn’t clicking, your breathing is very likely the missing piece.

Most people don’t wake up one day and suddenly “have” chronic symptoms.

They slide in slowly. Over time.
Fatigue that never quite lifts.
A gut that feels unpredictable.
Weight that won’t shift no matter how “healthy” you eat.
Anxiety, poor sleep, inflammation, brain fog.

And somewhere along the way, life starts to feel harder & harder, and you start feeling more & more disconnected from your body.

At Vida Naturopathics, we don’t chase symptoms.
We identify the underlying root cause/s; and restore function of the body systems that are impacted.

We specialize in helping you rebuild:

• Metabolic health to address blood sugar fluctuations, excess weight & low energy

• Gut health & function so digestion & immune function optimize, and inflammation calms down

• Nervous system regulation so your body stops living in survival mode, relieving anxiety & improving sleep quality

• Functional breathing so oxygen, CO₂ balance and stress resilience return

This is not surface-level wellness.
This is deep, physiology-level healing.
This is what helps you optimize your health & wellbeing long term.

If you’ve tried diets, supplements, and protocols that helped… but didn’t last,
it’s not because you failed.

It’s because the root cause was not fully address & restored.

If you're ready to prioritize your health in 2026, let's chat.

Our breathing patterns are fundamental to health & wellbeing. And being fit does not mean you have healthy functional breathing patterns. In fact, many athletes have dysfunctional breathing, putting them at a greater risk of injury, negatively impacting their recovery & their immune function, and preventing them for reaching their full potential.

Yes, breathing is different for women. Our breathing patterns are influenced by hormonal cycles, and our bodies respond to chronic stress differently. This is just part of why every consultation & recommendation at Vida Naturuopathics & Vida Breathworks is personalized. 🖖

At Vida Naturopathics, our work with women is rooted in one core truth:

Your body is intelligent, adaptive, and always working toward balance.

When we support & restore metabolic health, regulate the nervous system, and perhaps most importantly, repair our relationship with food and our bodies, something powerful happens. 💪 💃

Energy returns. Hormones soften into rhythm. Sustainable weight loss occurs. And women stop feeling like their bodies are the problem.

Through a highly personalised approach -> personalized functional breathing re-training for nervous system regulation, and/or our 12-week Metabolic Balance program, we guide women out of restriction and self-doubt and back into trust, structure, and self-respect.

This is not about control.
It’s about partnership with your body. And learning how to fuel this amazing body of yours. When you do this, your body responds.
And, this is where real, lasting change begins.

✨ 2026 at Vida is about helping women step into their power, with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
