If you want to feel more like yourself again - or you're just curious about how when you change the way you breathe - then you can change the way you feel - then yes.

No experience needed - it's fully guided, every step of the way. You might leave feeling calmer. You might leave feeling like you've just properly exhaled for the first time in months. Either way, you'll leave feeling more like you.

What if you love it? If there's even a flicker of curiosity, come and find out. People rarely leave feeling worse than when they arrived - usually just lighter, sometimes surprised, always a little more themselves.

A warm welcome, whatever setting you're in - group, class, or one-to-one, it's the same underneath. In a group or class, you'll be lying on a yoga mat; in a private session, you'll be on sheepskin. Either way, you're cosied up with blankets, warm socks, an eye mask if you'd like one.

Once you've got the breathing pattern, we breathe, laugh, holler, feel whatever wants to move through us.

Some people feel tingling, buzzing - completely normal. Some feel nothing at all. Some feel like they've glimpsed the meaning of life. Some fall asleep. All of it's welcome, and you'll get exactly what you need, whatever that turns out to be. There's always dark chocolate waiting at the end, too.

Group sessions are a lovely way to experience breathwork for the first time — you feel the shared energy of the room, and you're not alone in it. A one-to-one gives you more space to talk and more of my attention and guidance if that's what you need right now. Once you've learned the pattern, you can carry on breathing at home - and come back to a session whenever you want to go deeper, or just check in.

It's an active breathing technique, developed through my training with David Elliott — a three-part pattern (belly, heart, exhale) that builds through an active phase into a slower, settling breath. It's not meditative or still; there's real movement, sound, and expression in it.

Group classes start at £25, and one-to-one sessions start at £150.

More than you'd expect, honestly. People often notice things they hadn't quite let themselves see before - a pattern, a feeling, a place they've been stuck. Some people find real clarity about their daily life afterwards. Some just feel lighter. It's not therapy, and it doesn't replace it - but it is therapeutic. It reaches something talking alone sometimes can't. Whatever it means for you, it doesn't have to mean anything more than that.

Breathwork itself is a safe practice. But a few things mean you should let me know beforehand, or check with your GP first: pregnancy, blood-thinning medication, a severe bleeding disorder (such as haemophilia), a history of cardiovascular disease (including angina or a previous heart attack), heart conditions, diabetes, circulatory problems, blood clots, cancer or other malignancies, bone disorders, high blood pressure, glaucoma, retinal detachment, osteoporosis, significant recent injury or surgery, metal implants, or a pacemaker.

Breathwork isn't advised for anyone with severe mental illness, seizure disorders, or those on major medications, and it's unsuitable if you have a personal or family history of aneurysm.

If you have asthma, bring your inhaler, and check with your GP first if you're at all concerned. If you have any concerns about your health or how it might relate to breathwork, please get in touch before booking.

Breathe Love, my monthly class, runs at SuStudio in Canford Cliffs, 7–8.30pm.

One-to-one sessions take place in my private studio space set amongst the trees at the bottom of my garden in Poole, Dorset - or wherever suits you best, if you'd rather join virtually.

Yes. I've completed trauma-informed training with Claire Rother, alongside my other training and my ongoing counselling qualification. That means I hold sessions with an awareness of how the body carries stress and difficult experience — but I'm not a qualified therapist, and this work isn't a substitute for trauma treatment. If you're working through something significant, breathwork can sit alongside that support, not replace it.

Music has always been one of the ways I make sense of the world. Every soundtrack is carefully curated because it can help us feel what words sometimes can't. It's not background music - it's part of the experience. And you’ll always have access to the playlist after a session.
