About My Approach

My practice is rooted in a somatic, relational approach to breathwork that honours the body as an intelligent, intuitive system; an archive of memory, emotion, ancestry and potential. I draw on a decade of experience in birthwork, trauma-informed care, and creative process, with a strong commitment to nervous system repair, decolonising care, and collective healing. I work with the breath as a bridge between body, psyche and spirit, inviting people into attunement, curiosity and reclamation.

My work is deeply shaped by lineage-based learning, mentorship and the wisdom of peer exchange. I completed my training with The School of Breathwork under the guidance of  my teacher Eleanor Mann. Eleanor is a breathwork teacher and play therapist, who remains a core mentor and the sole lineage holder of Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery (RBM). Her teachings have guided my understanding of inner child work, relational presence, nervous system theory and gentle somatic attunement. Central to her approach is the cultivation of safety in the body and the belief that healing must be self-directed and paced by the individual, not imposed.

RBM was founded by Alakh Analda, whose teachings on energy, yogic consciousness and the sacredness of breath laid the foundation of the method. I had the honour of learning directly from Alakh throughout my training, which deepened my trust in the breath as a bridge between the physical, emotional and energetic realms.

Alongside these teachers, I’ve been deeply nourished by my breathwork peers. Through shared processes, witnessing, and ongoing exchange, their courage, insight and presence have taught me as much as any formal training, reminding me that this work lives in relationship.

My doula training with Carriagehouse Birth in NYC introduced me to radical, inclusive models of care. Penny Simkin’s research into birth and sexual trauma informs how I support survivors with sensitivity and respect. Francis Weller’s grief teachings have deepened my capacity to meet sorrow as sacred, and the work of Mia Kalef affirms what I’ve witnessed firsthand: that how we enter the world shapes our sense of self, safety and belonging. I also draw strength and structure from the work of adrienne maree brown, whose writing on emergent strategy, pleasure activism and community care continues to guide how I move in the world, with adaptability, devotion, and deep listening.

As a settler on Wurundjeri Country, with ancestral roots in India, Armenia, Ireland and England, my cultural inheritance is complex and layered. It is marked by migration, loss, resilience and reverence. While I continue to explore these threads in my personal and spiritual life, they influence the way I listen to the body, relate to ancestry, and seek to restore a sense of belonging that is not owned, but remembered. The land I live on teaches me daily about reciprocity, rhythm and right relationship.

Breathwork with me is not prescriptive or performative. It is a spacious, grounded invitation to meet yourself as you are. Whether you are seeking emotional regulation, creative connection, nervous system repair or simply a moment to exhale, this practice can meet you.

All bodies, identities and life stories are welcome. This is a space where care is mutual, stories are honoured, and healing is defined by presence, not perfection.
