What do you enjoy about breathwork and how has it helped you?
What I enjoy most about breathwork is its simplicity and accessibility. It’s a tool we always have with us, and yet it holds the potential to unlock so much transformation.
Breathwork has helped me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. It’s allowed me to find calm in the chaos of everyday life, uncover and release limiting beliefs, and connect with my authentic self beneath the layers of conditioning and expectation from others I’ve picked up over the years.
Breathwork continues to teach me to trust my inner knowing. I’m slowly but surely releasing the need to constantly seek external validation, as I build a deeper sense of self-trust through.
And what’s most amazing is that facilitating for others doesn’t drain me—it restores me. Every session leaves me feeling rejuvenated and reminded of the power of following what feels aligned to me.

How do they integrate with breathwork?
Each modality I’m trained in works together to form a holistic approach that adapts to the unique needs of my clients at every step of their journey.
Breathwork serves as the foundation that ties it all together. It supports clients in navigating the roadblocks that leave so many feeling stuck; whether that’s emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, or physical challenges. By integrating breathwork within my work, I help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom, overcome obstacles, and take aligned steps toward growth and transformation.
What is your personal journey?
I spent much of my life in the fast lane, believing my worth was tied to how much I could achieve and how many boxes I could tick.
This mindset led to multiple episodes of burnout and forced me to confront the way I was living.
After a lifetime of battling with my body due to severe asthma, mental health struggles, repeated hospital admissions and the constant pressure to conform to societal body image ideals. These experiences left me drained and living to please others, often at the expense of my own well-being.
My introduction to breathwork felt like a coincidence at first, but looking back, I see it as a moment of inner guidance. I began with smaller practices like pranayama, and eventually followed my curiosity to try a deeper breathwork session on my own. The experience was intense and it opened my eyes to the incredible value of having a trained facilitator to hold space for me.
This realisation sparked my journey to explore breathwork further and eventually train as a facilitator myself.
Since then, breathwork has been a catalyst for profound transformation. It’s helped me release the battle I had with my body, embrace a more compassionate relationship with myself, whilst finding ease and flow in my life.
I’ve learned that growth doesn’t have to come from constant striving, it can emerge from a place of safety, self-acceptance, and trust in my own inner knowing.
What do you stand for, and what do you stand against?
What I Stand For:
I stand for authenticity, growth, and helping others use their true nature as a catalyst for meaningful change. I believe in creating safe, supportive spaces where people can reconnect with their inner knowing, reclaim their sovereignty, and live in alignment with their true selves.
What I Stand Against:
I stand against the pressures of perfectionism and the idea that growth must come from constant striving. True transformation doesn’t require burnout, it can emerge from safety, self-acceptance, and ease.
What is your greatest wish for your clients
My greatest wish for my clients is that they rediscover the power within themselves, that they realise they already have everything they need to grow, heal, and create a life that feels true to them.
I want them to feel empowered to trust their inner knowing, embrace their unique nature, and live in alignment with what matters most to them.
I also hope they learn that transformation doesn’t have to come from striving or struggle but can emerge from a place of ease, flow, and self-acceptance. My wish is for every client to walk away feeling confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and create a deep sense of trust and stability within themselves.
