How your health is doing everything FOR you and not TO you
Chips, my nervous little sausage dog, just got an attachment for his lead that reads: “Anxious Give me some space” It made me think, I wish us humans could be more open about the way we are feeling and the times that we are struggling. Would this make a difference to the way we interact…
The healing capacity within your voice

The Potential of Breathwork:
my journey and how I overcame asthma My first memory of being conscious of my breath was the early diagnosis of asthma as a child, the restriction of my airways, at times making it difficult to breathe. For as long as I could remember, there would be some level of fear about not being able…
Unbreathable Moments: Breathwork for Anxiety
I have yet to meet a soul that has not suffered with anxiety in some way, in some capacity in their life. This guidance, although I hope still helpful, is not exclusively for those with a medical diagnosis of anxiety. While as real as that can be, mental health is very much on a spectrum,…
