HELLO!
Thank you for visiting my website and finding out a bit about me and the work I love doing.
I found Breathwork after my own experience of a serious illness; I plopped out of hospital after treatment and was told I was 'fine' but I didn't really feel fine. I felt physcially well but emotionally I was broken inside and wondered if I would ever find anything that would help me to feel like 'me' again.
And of course it was Breathwork. A powerful and extraordinary experience with Nicola Price of Inspirational Breathing at a festival lead me to leave teaching and enjoy a new passion.
I love sharing Breathwork with others so they can experience more joy, more often. Such a simple and natural tool for physical health, emotional wellbeing, healing and connection. We can bring awareness to our breath at anytime and anywhere and with regular Breathwork practice we can really enjoy life more.

Testimonials
"I use the breathing techniques I learnt with Helen before going on air ... they help ground
me so I can deliver the news. An essential for anyone who has to do any public speaking."
.
Charlie Angela, Al Jazeera English News Anchor
"Helen is such a kind, warm and beautiful soul, it’s almost like she still has the essence of an innocent child, full of love and compassion. During our session she was so patient with me, guiding me, supporting me and helping me understand what we were going to do all without any judgement. I feel her years as a teacher ensures she can provide a professional and supportive breath work session to everyone. I would highly recommend Helen whether you are looking for a 1:1, a group session or for someone to come into your place of work or school. I can’t wait to have another session."
Louise, Hampshire, UK
“During our session I really enjoyed the sense of freedom that I felt, the escape from anxiety. It was amazing. Taking deep whole breaths felt/feels wonderful. Like eating healthy food. You know it is doing you good and you can feel that it is. I liked the way that I could lie however I needed to (as long as you could see my breathing) it helped me to feel safe. Breathing is so basic and so easy to work with. Very encouraging. Look forward to our next session.”

"What a lovely experience. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I needn't have worried as Helen was very warm and reassuring. I discovered many things about my breathing. It was a real voyage of discovery round my own body - such an interesting process. I also came away with suggestions on what I could do differently, which I am using to help me to calm down when I am stressed. It was a really lovely experience. Even though it was over Zoom, I felt like I was in very safe hands with Helen - she is very skilled at making me feel safe and held, especially when some emotions came up for me. I highly recommend doing breathwork with Helen - a lovely experience with long lasting effects."
Catherine from Havant, UK
“Breathing as a therapy for mental health at first sounded a bit strange and that it might not work. I was completely wrong about my assumptions. When coming into the session I felt low and anxious. We went through several different breathing techniques which helped me tune into my body and actually focus only on my breathing - like nothing else in the world mattered. I felt a release of emotions and learnt where I kept them in my body. After releasing negative emotions, I managed to replace them with positive emotions and felt more caring and loving towards my own well being.”

"... although I don’t normally sleep very well, I think I managed to get some decent sleep, thank you. I’ve been using some of the techniques we used yesterday - the breathing we practised especially, which is very useful :)"
