Breathwork
Most of us live from the neck up. We think our way through pressure, and our bodies quietly keep the score.
Breathwork is one of the simplest ways I know to change that. In one session, you can move from racing to still. No experience needed, and nothing to get right.
How I found it
I came to breathwork by chance, at a surf house in Cape Town, on a break from humanitarian work. I went to one session, then another, then trained as a facilitator.
Afterwards I kept practising in Syria and Palestine, with headphones and whatever private space I could find. It was often the only thing that let my nervous system land. That's what I bring into every session.
My approach
I use Conscious Connected Breathwork, adapted to be gentle and grounding. In workplace and group settings I use nasal breathing throughout, so the experience calms rather than activates.
Everything is consent-led and trauma-informed. You can rest, slow down or simply observe at any point.
Stop thinking for an hour. Come back to yourself.
“What stood out to me so strongly was the sense of lived experience she embodied. Everything she shared felt deeply real — not conceptual, not rehearsed. The space was beautifully held, and her presence left a lasting impression on me.”
Ways to breathe with me
-
In-person or online sessions of 60–90 minutes for teams who need an actual pause, not another wellbeing talk. Popular around World Mental Health Day, offsites and busy seasons. Each session includes a practical breathing tool people can use at their desks the same day.
I've run sessions for teams in the humanitarian and tech sectors.
-
Small-group programmes over several weeks, run live on Zoom with a WhatsApp group for support between sessions. Places are small, so I keep groups to around ten. Follow me on Instagram to hear about the next one first: @theembodiedinsights
-
Community breathwork sessions in village halls and studios around London/Suffolk (UK) and Lisbon/Aljezur (Portugal). Follow me on Instagram for the latest dates: @theembodiedinsights

Private sessions, online or in person, tailored to what you're carrying. Can be booked on their own or alongside coaching.
