Overview
Join the Breathwork Revolution with this course designed to offer you practices and ideas which help bring about greater balance, empowerment and alignment – tools for life that have the power to transform wounds to wisdom and help you connect deeply to the awe of being alive.
As women living in a modern society, we have freedoms our grandmothers could only dream of…and yet…levels of stress, anxiety and overwhelm are commonplace and many of us have a level of disconnection from our most valuable ally – our body. Our breath patterns reflect the level of ease or tension that we live with…when we harness and free the breath, we quickly begin to feel ripples of increased ease flowing throughout our lives in so many ways.
This small group container (max 6 women) is a chance to deeply connect with yourself via an array of Breathwork practices – and primarily the Conscious Connected Breath. A tool of deep emotional release that all of us have access to and can be used at any time to feel more expansive, connected to ourselves and others, in our power, relaxed and regulated through our nervous system.
You are welcome and encouraged to bring all of yourself in this invitation to reset and rise – to lovingly draw down the layers of coping, adaption and trauma to reveal your innate wisdom and sense of internal compass. To feel who you really are underneath the layers, to experience clarity and insight on your unique circumstances and to create a clear path moving forward.
Because the likelihood is...
That at some point we suppressed some big emotions and they got held in our bodies. As this happened we developed patterns of contraction or protection. Then these patterns got activated again when similar emotions arose.
By tracing our physical patterns – we can become aware of our ‘stories’ of old pains, hurts and happenings that still affect us. And as we start to reset, we’ll become aware of old emotional patterns via contraction in the body and in our breath patterns. The techniques you’ll learn, help to free deep tension and the energy that can be used to express who you are now, instead of repeating an old story stuck in your body from days gone by.
Because once a pattern is learned – it is accessed automatically and becomes second nature. The body doesn’t differentiate between helpful and unhelpful patterns. Physical contractions and habits are acquired through repetition, and can be undone by consciously practicing new patterns within your body and nervous system.
​
So in this course...
We move freely…we dance…we share…we learn…we breathe in different ways to release outdated patterns and create new neural pathways in the direction we want to move..
You’ll also have a chance to consider the energy dynamics at play in your life…being in the world requires we animate our internal masculine, while our creative, relational feminine side often becomes relegated – you’ll learn how this masculine/feminine balance can play out in your bodily systems too and how to balance them out.
And you’ll be offered a variety of tools to help reset and regulate your nervous system…from the Conscious Connected Breath – which activates the system to help release deep stored emotional imprints – to calming breath practices designed to nurture and relax you. This is alongside understanding some of the theory behind how your nervous system works.
You’ll consider what habits, beliefs, and patterns are driving you and have a chance to consciously shift these so they support your vision and direction moving forward.
And you’ll have a 1:1 session with me where you’ll be offered a breath pattern analysis/body mapping and deep experience of Breathwork – with clear next steps via coaching in the session.
As you experience the unique blend of practices that work for you – you’ll have the chance to develop a personalised programme for yourself that will enable you to reset yourself whenever needed.
As you reset…you feel more expansive…your sense of potential grows…you feel more connected to yourself and the world around you…you rise…

"Never have we as women in the West had more opportunity, more choice and more freedom.... at the same time with these opportunities come new challenges and distinct difficulties: The demands of life have created unprecedented levels of stress, pressure, disconnect , discomfort and dis-ease in women".

Why Now? Why Me?
Hey Love..
​
I’m Anna and I felt the call to create this container after experiencing the transformative power of breathwork myself. I had immersed in the calming nature of yogic pranayama (breathwork) for years in my yoga practice/teaching, before discovering the activating force of the conscious connected breath during a period of grief. It was nothing short of an awakening…
It was like therapy with no words, and relieved the intense physicality that emotional waves can cause like no other thing I had come across. I felt a deep connection to myself, the world around me and source, and states of bliss beyond anything I experienced before, alongside electrical charge through the body as my body recalibrated itself. It was phenomenal and I knew I would need to train in and share it, alongside the self development provided by my Breathwork community.
I have soaked up the medicine of spending time in many women’s circles and containers, alongside running my own over the last 10 years. So I have combined these techniques with my other passion – that of feminine awakening and empowerment to develop this deep dive course for you.

What is Breathwork Coaching?The way we breathe can profoundly affect our perception of life. As babies we have a full, free and unrestricted breath to match our sense of wholeness and connection to presence. As adults, most of us develop holding patterns in our breath, often arising from emotional wounds, physical challenges or traumas. Breathwork is a self-healing modality that uses conscious, connected breathing to access expanded states of consciousness, while simultaneously unlocking repressed emotions and clearing stagnant energy from our whole system. ​ Through an intentional and safe increase of oxygen levels, we activate different areas of the brain to create new neural pathways for deeper insights and heightened clarity, while meeting the root of unresolved imprints for integration and healing. ​ This is a somatic, emotional and energetic invitation into profound self-remembrance, compassion, radical self-love and powerful reclamation. By breathing into the unknown, we bring life and energy to that which is blocked, dormant or repressed. Through breath, we enliven the lost parts of us and return them back into our seat of wholeness.
