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

Breathwork has been transformative for me because it touches that deep, unseen place where the mind and body intersect – exactly where sensitive souls often feel the weight of the world. As someone who feels everything intensely, I’ve struggled with overwhelming emotions, anxiety, and even fear for most of my life. Breathwork has become more than a practice; it’s a sanctuary where I can soften into my sensitivity rather than fight against it.

In every session, I feel the power of my breath ground and guide me, reshaping how I respond to stress and fear. Breathwork gently connects me with my nervous system, subconscious mind, and neural pathways, creating lasting calm and a sense of rooted confidence that traditional methods never fully reached. For me, it’s about reclaiming this natural tool to lead a life that honours my sensitive nature, and it’s why I’m passionate about helping other sensitive women find their way through breath, too.

How do they integrate with breathwork?

I felt there was an element missing when practicing breathwork, and whilst working/specialising in working with those navigating high sensitivity and often the challenges that arise with this – anxiety, overwhelm, extreme emotions. Coaching has given me a more solid base to work with the mind – mindset and mindfulness – as well as the body through breathwork. We are one, and to be able to integrate the two I feel is imperative. I am also trained in both esoteric, and very science based breathwork, again, I feel the necessity and importance of understanding the full spectrum of breathwork here to best help those that need it.

What is your personal journey?

I’ve spent much of my life navigating the intensity of being a highly sensitive person in a world that often values resilience and hustle over sensitivity and rest. For years, I felt like my sensitivity was a burden, something I had to hide or fix. Society’s unspoken rules had me in a cycle of pushing down emotions, overriding my needs, and constantly striving to fit in a mould that just wasn’t meant for me.

But then, I reached a breaking point – a place of overwhelming burnout, anxiety, and an exhaustion that went soul-deep. It was in this low that I discovered the power of breathwork, embodiment, and gentle self-care. Through these practices, I began to reconnect with myself, finding that my sensitivity wasn’t a weakness; it was my strength, my superpower. I’ve had to unlearn a lot, redefine my relationship with fear, and embrace slowness as a guiding force in my life.

Now, I’ve created a life that supports who I truly am – a life that honours rest, healing, and the beauty of softness. And I’m passionate about helping other sensitive women find that same freedom, to come home to themselves without shame, embracing the quiet power within.

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

For :- I stand for a world in which sensitivity is respected and celebrated as strength, where women feel empowered to embrace their gentle power and pursue slow, meaningful growth. I believe in creating spaces that nurture compassion, authentic expression, and self-connection. I’m devoted to helping sensitive women find balance, strength, and resilience, offering a path that honours the natural rhythms of our bodies and minds. In a world that often demands too much, I stand for gentle courage, connection to nature, and holistic healing.

Against :- I stand against the relentless pressure to fit into fast-paced, disconnecting norms that undervalue rest, healing, and our emotional wellbeing. I oppose the societal demands for constant self-improvement that lead to self-abandonment and burnout. I reject the idea that sensitivity is a weakness to be overcome. I stand firmly against systems that shame our natural sensitivity and resilience, and I oppose the shallow solutions that treat complex emotions with dismissal rather than depth. Instead, I advocate for depth, self-compassion, and the freedom to feel and heal authentically.

What is your greatest wish for your clients

My greatest wish for my clients is for them to find a life of peace, clarity, and self-acceptance that feels completely true to who they are. I hope they discover the beauty in their sensitivity and see it not as something to overcome, but as a deep well of strength, intuition, and insight. I wish for them to build a loving relationship with themselves – one that honours rest, joy, and resilience, free from shame or societal pressures, and free from crippling anxiety, overwhelm and a distrust of the self. Above all, I want them to feel empowered to lead lives that feel rich and nourishing, not despite their sensitivity, or sensitive parts but because of it.
