I used to be in a very different place to where I am now. My healing journey began back in 2018, when I was at an all-time low.
Periods of trauma in my childhood and early to mid-twenties with little support had shattered me, and everyday functioning felt completely unattainable. I had sought out various types of therapy, from CBT to psychodynamic to neuro-linguistic programming but the benefits for me were marginal.
I quit my job and flew to Bali with a one-way ticket as a last effort to find joy. I spent two whole months attending workshops and rituals, practising yoga and meditation, trying every healing activity I could think of. And then I discovered breathwork: a pivotal moment in my life. It was transformative– I knew I had to share this tool with others.
I realised that the missing piece had been somatic practices - body-based practices. Our bodies hold memories from the past of experiences which we were unable to process at the time. This can lead to illnesses, limiting self-beliefs and holding ourselves back in life.
Using this incredible self-healing modality I began to release some of the charge in my nervous system, work through emotions that I had repressed for decades, and process them in a safe environment as a conscious adult.
From here, I began working to rebalance my nervous system using various other breath techniques. I started to work through many of the coping mechanisms that had served me as a child, but were now significantly holding me back as an adult.
I will always be profoundly grateful for discovering the healing power of breath I feel so honoured to facilitate others on their own path.
