What is Breathwork?
What happens in a session?
I found Breathwork and Body based counselling after trying several therapy styles during my 20s, and I practice it because it actually works. 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.
​
For myself intellectually understanding my issues was useful initially, but talk and exploring via the mind didn't bring the growth 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 resulted from somatic awareness and Conscious Connected Breathing. 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 in this way can confronting. It requires courage to excavate foundational wounding, and takes some commitment.
My clients who persevere express deep gratitude and wonder at their experiences of relief, resolution and ultimately freedom. Self-knowledge and the skills to recognise unconscious thought and behaviour patterns and hold ourselves with 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 beautiful 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 ciswomen, 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, literature and an abiding 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, local ABC 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.
