Conscious Connected Breathwork

Breathwork is an invitation to come home to yourself.

In a world that moves quickly, many of us live from the neck up, thinking, managing, coping, pushing through. Breathwork offers a different way. It can help you slow down, reconnect with your body, and access a deeper intelligence within you: the part that knows how to settle, release, and restore.

Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB) draws on ancient breathing practices and modern psychotherapy. It uses gentle, continuous breathing to support nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and deeper self-connection.

My Conscious Connected Breathwork sessions are trauma-informed, grounded, and gently facilitated. This is not about “doing it right” or forcing a breakthrough. It’s about creating safety in the body, listening inwardly, and allowing what needs to move to move, at your pace.

What breathwork can support?

People come to breathwork for many reasons. It can help with:

stress, overwhelm and burnout
anxiety and nervous system dysregulation
emotional release and processing
feeling disconnected, numb or “stuck”
low mood and heaviness
self-trust, confidence and clarity
grief and life transitions
improved sleep and a calmer baseline
creativity, intuition and a sense of aliveness

Sometimes what shifts is subtle; more space inside, more steadiness, more access to feeling. Sometimes it’s powerful. Both are welcome.

What is a session is like?

Sessions are typically 90 minutes long. We begin gently, with a short check-in so I can understand what you’re arriving with and what you need to feel safe. I’ll explain the style of breathwork we’re using and give you clear options throughout, including how to pause, slow down, or stop at any time.

Generally a session includes:

arrival, grounding and intention-setting
guided breathwork practice (with choice and support)
time for rest and integration
space to reflect and make sense of what arose

Soft, carefully chosen music is usually played to support the breathing and help create a sense of safety and flow. The volume and style are always adjustable, and silence is also an option.

You don’t need any previous experience, and you don’t need to have the right words. Your body is allowed to communicate in its own way, through sensation, emotion, imagery, memories, or simply stillness.

This is a trauma-aware, neurodiversity-affirming space where safety and nervous-system regulation come first, and our work is shaped around your sensory needs, pacing and sense of choice.

My approach

As an integrative psychotherapist as well as a breathwork practitioner, my work is deeply nervous-system aware. I hold breathwork as a relational somatic practice: you are not doing this alone. I’m there to support you with warmth, attunement and clear boundaries, so you can explore safely.

I welcome people who are new to breathwork, people who’ve tried it before, and people who are curious, cautious or unsure. We go gently. Always.

Is breathwork safe?

For most people, breathwork is a supportive and nourishing practice. That said, certain medical or mental health conditions may mean we adapt the session, use a gentler style, or decide it isn’t appropriate right now.

Breathwork may not be suitable (or may need medical guidance) if you have, for example:

significant cardiovascular conditions (including uncontrolled high blood pressure)
epilepsy or seizure disorders
glaucoma or retinal issues
pregnancy
a history of psychosis or mania
recent surgery or significant medical instability

If you’re unsure, you can simply get in touch and we’ll decide together what feels safest. There are always options, including very gentle, nervous-system calming breath practices.
