I am a Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery practitioner with a background in birthwork, grief support, music curation and community organising. My work is rooted in presence, relational care and the belief that conscious breath is a powerful pathway to healing, liberation and return.

My life has been shaped by both love and loss, by parenting, partnership, grief and creativity. For the past fourteen years, I’ve been with my partner Pete. Our relationship has been a process of learning and unfurling, of discovering who we are together and apart, and of finding new ways to meet each other in truth.

Motherhood has been my greatest initiation.

Raising our two children, Fox and Dizzy, continues to teach me more about myself than any training ever could. Each of them mirrors back different parts of me — playful, fearful, fiery, tender, stubborn, creative, free. They show me where I am still learning to soften, where I need to grow, and where I can meet myself with compassion. Parenting opened me to the deep, ongoing practice of reparenting: tending to what I inherited, healing what longs to be healed, and choosing what I want to pass on differently.

I first encountered Rebirthing Breathwork in this context. It was a revelation to realise how much of what I carried lived in my body, in my breath, and in patterns that weren’t fully conscious. This practice became my anchor — a way to soften survival strategies, restore my nervous system, and create space for presence, creativity, grief and joy.

I share this practice weekly breath circles, one-to-one sessions, and seasonal retreats that weave breathwork with creativity, movement, ritual and time in nature. I believe healing is relational, not individual — so my practice is grounded in connection: with your own body and breath, with creativity, with each other, and with the earth.

I work with the breath as a bridge between body, psyche and spirit, inviting people into attunement, curiosity and reclamation.

My work honours the child within, the ancestors behind, and the earth beneath as the original mother who teaches us reciprocity, rhythm and restoration. I bring to this practice my extensive experience as a doula and birth educator, my grief studies and lived experience of loss, and my love of music and poetry, which continue to shape my evolving research into the links between breath, art and aliveness.

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 our shared 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. Alongside these influences, I am continually inspired by my creative community of writers, musicians, curators, programmers, culture aficionados, poets, performance artists, painters and ceramicists — whose practices uphold and remind me about process and presence.

Accessibility and community repair are central to my work. I offer community pricing to make this practice available to more people. I hold an ethic of care that is decolonising, queer-affirming, trauma-aware and inclusive of all bodies, identities and life experiences. This is a brave space — where joy, grief, creativity and transformation are all welcome, where care is mutual, and where healing is not about perfection but about presence.

I live and work on Wurundjeri Country and honour the enduring sovereignty, lore and custodianship of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people. I pay respect to Elders past and present, and extend this to First Peoples everywhere. With ancestral roots in India, Armenia, Ireland and England, I hold awareness of the complexity of my own inheritance and the responsibility of living on unceded Country.

Breathwork with me is not prescriptive or performative. It is an invitation to meet yourself exactly as you are. Whether you come seeking emotional regulation, nervous system repair, grief support, creative connection, or simply a moment to breathe more deeply — this practice can meet you.

Thank you for being here!
