What is Breathwork?
What happens in a session?
My Story
I found Breathwork and Body based counselling after trying several therapy styles during my 20s, and I practice it because it actually works. I continue to use it, and it gives me great satisfaction to provide that deep healing to those who have the courage and commitment to themselves and their inner life.  
​
I offer guidance and tools for you to connect to yourself and what your system needs while you remain grounded in your physical sensations and the present moment. Body awareness is a mindfulness and meditation practice, and Breathwork allows you to remain regulated while challenging material arises.
In my own journey I found that intellectually understanding my issues was useful as an initial phase, but to just talk and explore with the mind didn't bring the change, growth and renewal I was seeking. Somatic psychotherapy combined with Breathwork gave me access to the layers of my psyche, trauma stored in my body and the core emotional charges at the root of my struggles.
For me, real and lasting transformation has been the result of being fully engaged with my physical body and the Conscious Connected Breathing tool. It has allowed digestion of emotions, stagnant energy to flow, and my capacity to be fully with myself and others, no matter how deep the pain.
​
Even with an attuned and skilled practitioner to nurture and champion your process, working on this level can confronting and heroic. It's like excavating the foundations of your wounds. It requires commitment, but my clients who persevere through the rigours express deep gratitude and wonder at their transformation and experience of relief and freedom. Self-knowledge and the skills to recognise unconscious thought and behaviour patterns and work with them from a place of self-compassion are a lifelong skill. The healing we do within ourselves ripples out to those closest to us, and beyond to our communities and ultimately our Earth.
​
I can support you through any of the side effects of being human. But my own lived experiences include; separation in families, dysregulated attachment styles, experiences unique to women, substance use, depression, parenting, relationships and complex chronic health issues.
​
To facilitate your profound processes, I am well-supported by my loved ones, lifelong journalling, a love of dance, music and literature and deep connection with the natural world. I have enjoyed a diverse career spanning facepainting and selling kites on the streets of Barcelona to caring for people who live with disability, English language teaching, Radio producing and 14 years as an independent documentary film maker exploring peoples inner lives, and promoting the work of change makers
​
In 2019 I graduated from the 2-year Journey to the Heart training with Cindy Aulby, one of Australia's most senior Breathwork practitioners. I bring the fresh energy and curiosity of an early-career practitioner, with 20 years of experience in my own personal growth paths, Breathwork sessions and groups.
