About me
I’m passionate about combining breathwork with Reiki to offer a unique approach in 1:1 sessions and amplifying the benefits by breathing together as a community. SOMA Breath is so much more than just inhaling and exhaling. It’s about transforming each breath into a tool for enhancing health, increasing focus, and achieving inner tranquillity and emotional resilience. Each experience combines carefully planned gentle movement, rhythmic breathwork, Reiki energy healing, and guided meditation to bring participants clarity, vitality, and connection.
Transform your life through breathwork and Reiki
I guide and support people who want to experience life differently, helping them transition from burnt out, battling, or even broken to energised and balanced, using a unique blend of Reiki and breathwork. I feel called to share how I’m changing my life from stagnant and disconnected to vibrant and contented after living with M.E. and neurodiverse overwhelm for over thirty years. I want people to learn how to unlock their fullest potential using something as simple and free as their breath. It’s liberating, balancing and energising. I offer transformative, accessible treatments, classes and workshops designed to restore balance, unlock deeper states of consciousness, and elevate wellbeing.
No matter what the experience- 1:1 treatment, group or corporate class or workshop, your comfort always comes first and I am keen to offer spacious, inclusive experiences.
What’s so special about SOMA Breath®?
This unique style of breathwork gently guides people using a selected blend of carefully sequenced pranayama techniques, ‘Breathe in Beats’ music, and guided meditation. Through euphoric, immersive experiences, we enable individuals to activate their inner pharmacy, harnessing the body’s innate ability to heal and rejuvenate itself. We use the transformative power of breath as a catalyst for emotional mastery and peak performance. We aspire to inspire a global awakening towards sustainable well-being, enlightened minds, and invigorated bodies. Our dream is to create a harmonious, mindful, and thriving global community, one breath at a time.
These techniques have been used by tribes for hundreds of years. They allow us to tap into that source of higher consciousness and gain better insights into this life. Breathwork is for everyone, whether it be from a medical, sporting, or spiritual perspective – you will gain benefits from this and most likely be hooked after your first session.
Rhythmic breathing is the foundation of SOMA Breath, and ‘breathing in beats’ with rhythmic music is what makes the techniques so easy, unique and effective. Brainwave music technology is therapeutic music to entrain your breathing to be effortlessly smooth and rhythmic. The patented music makes meditation easier and allows you to go even deeper into transformative states in a much faster time. You can use specific breath patterns to turn off stress, encourage deep sleep, and feel more energetic.

Psychedelic-like healing
Cambridge University studied SOMA Breath and found it can bring on experiences people describe as psychedelic.
Brain studies observed the same patterns seen with LSD and psilocybin.
Some scientists suggest these effects involve a boost in endogenous DMT (a natural psychedelic chemical).
Clinical studies with psychedelics show they can reduce depression, anxiety, and stress by unlocking deep emotional release and new perspectives. Breathwork seems to tap into similar therapeutic states, offering relief from rumination and mental “loops”.
Breathwork also influences dopamine (motivation/ reward), oxytocin (connection/bonding), endorphins (pain relief & euphoria), and prolactin (relaxation & recovery) creating a whole-body reset.
For many, this is a drug-free way to access powerful healing experiences. You are in control. The experience is fully reversible and safe.
A Trauma-Informed Approach
This gentle, step-by-step breathwork recognises trauma is held in the body and nervous system.
Unlike some other breathwork techniques, the emphasis is on titration (gentle release) rather than overwhelm. Gradual resilience-building avoids retraumatisation.
Sessions are self-paced and empowering; participants are in control. The aim is sensitive monitoring and normalisation of nervous system responses.
Neurosomatic programming
Neuro-Linguistic Programming uses language, stories, and metaphors to spark transformation in the mind. Neurosomatic Programming takes it further by engaging the body and breath to activate your inner pharmacy, creating the optimal neurochemical state for deep change and lasting neuroplasticity.
We can blend our robotic side, responsible for automated behaviours, with our human side, which grants conscious control.
