How do they integrate with breathwork?

Voice and breathwork compliment each other so well. Breathwork combines seamlessly with voice work, and voice work can be worked into breathwork techniques depending on the desired outcome! Add breathwork to shadow work and stage fright coaching and you’ve got yourself a powerful modality for change.

I am a trainee Breathwork Facilitator, expecting to graduate my 10 month training in December 2024, Shakti Tracy is my teacher. I’ve got quite a busy practice at the moment. Things are really building up and i’m so excited after having spent 4 years rebuilding my life after having to leave my teaching career.

What do you enjoy about breathwork and how has it helped you?

Oooooo where to begin. It is something we all do – the only system in our body that is both automatic and we can control. It impacts so much on every aspect of our physical and mental well being. The science of the breath astounds me and the woo-woo aspect delights me. I’ve moved mountains – ancestral, generational and childhood trauma. It has enabled me to find me after a very traumatic and life changing injury 4 years ago when i was a teacher. It has give me a new lease of life.

How do they integrate with breathwork?

All of life integrates with Breathwork! Using my skills and vast experience in teaching and leading, i can not only guide and support using Breathwork to enable and enhance others but i can teach them how to do this for themselves. Through my person centred approach, im happy to coach women along their journey with the breath and help them integrate this into their everyday lives. Im a huge advocate for the poer of nature in our lives and encourage participation in our stunning natural landscapes to drop into themselves and find what they need in the expansive magic we lives amongst. Reiki is a huge part of everything i do in life as everything, including us, is energy and supporting people to vibrate on a frequency that is right for them is such a huge honour.

What is your personal journey?

From a wild youth – raving, partying, being dysregulated and forever searching from some inner peace but constantly self sabotaging, i learnt how to soothe my soul about 12 years ago when I admitted to myself i have some deeply ungrained trauma issue that I hadn’t faced into, even though I had always thought i had. My constant addictions – be in booze, weed, recreational drugs, Horlicks or shopping made me see how much my inner child was searching for something. I became a mum at 18 – was barely an adult myself and i always felt like i was playing ‘catch up’ with life. so at 38 (and 1 divorce and 2 more kids later) I stepped away from the party scene (that my present hubby and i were part of) and took the bold move to work on myself. I was a teacher – teaching in SEND schools and colleges and i felt like i was in a rat race but the money was needed so i combine my own self healing journey with a very busy wife, mum, career woman lifestyle. In 2020, just after the pandemic, when schools returned, i got badly injured in my classroom by a student which led to 2 spinal surgeries and a should surgery. This ended my teaching career abruptly causing great pain and loss. Whilst i was worn out trying to do it all, id worked very hard in my single parent years to get my life on track and was very proud of my Masters level education and my career. I loved all of the students i had worked with and the loss of all of this was hard. In the 4 years since that happened, I’ve had to learn to live with lifelong disability, a lot of pain and a huge amount of upheaval. My tagline, however, about all of this is….’My spine will never be aligned but as a result of that day – my life is now aligned’ Having the time and space to truly…like really ‘do the work’ and start to fully heal has been priceless. Along that journey of rediscovering who i was always meant to be, i came across Conscious Connected Breathwork and it blew me away. Last year, after my 2nd spinal surgery, i signed up to the 10 month coaching training with Breathing Space and my personal and professional transformation has been incredible. I really feel like I’ve found my thing and i want to gift the world the knowledge of what the breath can do for everyone.

What do you stand for, and what do you stand against?

I stand for women – all women everywhere. My aim in life is to be the woman i needed in my younger years. I want to support, guide, stand alongside women working through their own journeys and be there to watch them find the tools to rise. I stand against injustice, hatred, mean behaviour and those that make it their mission to belittle others.

What is your greatest wish for your clients

My wish for them is that they find their ‘thing’. The thing that makes their hearts sing and souls glow.

What do you enjoy about breathwork and how has it helped you?

I love absolutely everything about breathwork. The power of the breath, what it brings, and what it can teach us never fails to amaze me. Breathwork has helped me the most with grief. It helped me become friends with it, rather than fearing and repressing it. It helped me understand and connect with myself, teaching me that I am strong enough to face whatever is thrown at me.

What is your personal journey?

I came to breathwork through a bit of an unconventional way. I was on a placement year from university, working in an NHS immunopsychiatry clinic, and my supervisor offered me a selection of projects to become a research assistant for. A project on breathwork caught my eye, and joined the research team for the first year and then creating my own breathwork research project for my final year dissertation. All through this I still hadn’t actually tried breathwork. After learning every in and out of breathwork, I was really apprehensive as I knew I had a lot to come out and I didn’t feel ready to face it.
I was invited to a session (by none other than Duncan Bailey of Breathing Space) and fell in love.
Yes a LOT was released but, as we know, the breath never takes us where we are not ready to go, and I began to foster a relationship of trust and strength within myself. This grew with every breathwork session and eventually i knew this was something I had to train in and share with the world.
I graduated at the beginning of October 2024 and run (almost) weekly sessions now. Every session teaches me more and more, and allows my love for breathwork to grow exponentially.

What do you stand for, and what do you stand against?

I stand for safety, comfort, love, creativity, non-judgement, respect of boundaries.

I stand against prejudice and judgement.

What is your greatest wish for your clients

My greatest wish for my clients is that they are able to release their trauma, heal their emotional wounds, and awaken their power within.

Where did you complete your training (or where are you still in training)?

(Zila is short for my full name which is Fazila). I am a trainee with Breathing Space (my Teacher is with Unity Breathwork) and we are past the 2/3 mark of the course – it’s a hybrid program with the in-person component coming end of November in Mexico.

My Bio

My name is Zila and I am the founder of Zilabreathes and the Co-Director of Nunyara House. I have relied on my breath to center myself during grueling studies in engineering and law; held it close to regulate my nervous system during a fast-paced career in cybersecurity; paid minute attention to it during meditations; let it gently guide me through yoga practices; and now honor its power with conscious connect breathwork (CCB) or ‘circular breathing’.

In 2019, I began participating in Ayahuasca ceremonies in Costa Rica that led me through powerful heart-opening experiences of inter-connectedness, but also painful realizations that I was holding on to an identity that no longer served me. The breath was my anchor through these journeys. I commenced studying, writing and publishing poetry, as this gave me a language for embracing my inner world. My poetry can be found here: zilabreathes.com/poetry or on IG: @zilapoetry

Two years later I experienced my first conscious connected breathwork session – it filled me with light and a visceral knowing that my life is being orchestrated for my own evolution. I was astounded to realize that the breath, always with us, can be the medicine of choice that leads to deep insights. However, unlike plant medicine, the breather remains fully in control of their journey at all times, with their inner wisdom as their guide. Each breather is gifted their own unique experience.

In 2022, heartbreak and major life changes led me on a quest for change. I left my home of 50 years in Toronto, Canada and landed in Los Angeles for a year, before a swift transition to Joshua Tree, a magical place for renewal, introspection and connection to nature. I am training with Breathing Space, to become a breathwork facilitator recognized by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance. Yoga is also near and dear to me and I am currently in the midst of a rigorous yoga teacher training program with Inner Dimension Academy. The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj’ which means to yoke or to unite. I look forward to holding space in 2025 for uniting breath with movement.

At Nunyara House, a retreat property being built in California’s high desert, I am excited and deeply grateful to be designing transformative inner journeys with the breath for others.
