About this Event

In this Breathwork and somatic healing session, we'll gently explore the heart as a sanctuary within - a place where we can meet ourselves fully, welcoming even that which we once pushed away.

Together we'll untangle the tender web of our fearful, guarded, and longing parts.

With intentional breath and embodiment practises, we create a space of softness to invite these aspects in, not as obstacles but as honoured guests.

With each inhale, we expand our capacity to hold what arises; with each exhale, we soften our resistance, allowing grace to meet us where we are.

Even in the most unwelcome emotions, there are gifts.

Working with the breath and with the body we'll open the portal to sense where love has been waiting to flow freely again.

We are not fixing or forcing, just allowing, and it is in this allowing that love will reach the forgotten places within us - the untouched, the unseen, the unheard.

Explore and experience what self-love FEELS like, as we remember the unremembered.

May this be a playground for self-discovery, a calm in the storm, an oasis in the chaos.


This in-person Breathwork circle will be an opportunity for some deep inner healing using - a heart-opening breathing meditation which can


  • quiet the mind chatter and open the heart
  • clear the body and nervous system of emotional debris
  • cultivate deeper levels of self-love and self-acceptance
  • increase self-connection and heighten intution
  • connect you to your courage and quiet your fears
  • decrease levels of anxiety, depression, stress and overwhelm


In this intimate circle you will be guided on an experiential journey of release and self discovery, utilising a blend of Breathwork, somatic practise, journaling and an invitation for sharing.

What is Breathwork?

Transformational Breathwork is an active meditation technique that uses the breath to clear the body and nervous system of emotional debris. It is a somatic healing practise with the capacity to move and transform stuck emotional energy.


  • Helps to bypass our thinking brain and quiets the incessant mind chatter
  • Allows us to drop into the body and the heart
  • Makes space for intuitive messages, ephiphanies and revelations
  • Connects us to our life force energy in a deeply embodied way
  • Releases old patterns, old beliefs and old stories
  • Shifts the inertia associated with depression
  • Creates peace and calm to relieve anxiety
  • Fosters a sense of groundedness and safety within the body

When we clear our stuck emotions – all the thwarted experiences of sadness, fear and anger – our brains become more coherent and our nervous systems soothed. We start to feel calmer and clearer, and more able to live with courage, compassion and confidence.
