Breath to Balance

The Experience

This is a deep dive into your breath , your nervous system and what it is to be a feeling breathing human being in todays world.

Over a minimum of 8 sessions we’ll explore how to use your breath as a bridge between mind and body, science and spirit, awareness and action.

I’ve worked with clients experiencing chronic anxiety, stress, and burnout, and I’ve seen the profound impact this work can have when we approach it gently and intentionally.

Each week we build on the last creating a layered and embodied understanding of how your breath can transform your wellbeing from the inside out.

This work is for you

If you want to understand your own nervous system, reclaim your energy, and reconnect to yourself in a way that feels real

This is for you if you want to...

    • Move from constant overwhelm and anxiety into a grounded, steady nervous system where stress no longer dictates how you feel or show up.
    • Shift from disconnection and numbness to a deeper sense of presence, attuned to your body, your emotions, and your life.
    • Stop just coping and start thriving cultivating true resilience so you can meet life’s demands with clarity and strength.
    • Replace emotional reactivity with emotional regulation. Learning to stay open and calm, even in challenging moments.
    • Sleep more deeply, think more clearly, and feel more energised — supporting your wellbeing at its core through breath and balance.
    • Feel creative, focused, and inspired again. Unlocking access to intuition and imagination that stress may have dulled.
    • Reconnect with a sense of purpose and authenticity, aligning what you do with who you truly are.
    • Experience moments of deep peace, ease, and connection — not as fleeting escapes, but as part of how you live every day.

What we'll explore

    • Biomechanics & Biochemistry of Breathing
    • Understanding how your breath shapes your physiology and how to work with it, not against it.
    • Sleep & Recovery
    • Relearn how to rest deeply and create rhythms that nourish your energy.
    • Nervous System Regulation
    • Tools to bring yourself back into balance, build resilience, and feel grounded.
    • Mind–Body Connection
    • Develop interoceptive awareness — the ability to sense and understand what’s happening inside you.
    • Breath & Visualisation Work
    • Access clarity and creativity through guided inner journeys.
    • Explore using the breath to improve HRV, energy, and emotional regulation.
    • A deeper connected breathwork experience — an opportunity to explore what sits beneath the surface and reconnect to your inner landscape.

 

 

How it works

    • Duration: Minimum 8 sessions booked, weekly or bi- weekly
    • Format: 1:1 sessions via Zoom or in person (depending on location) or a mixture of both
    • Support: Breathwork recordings provided each week, support offered between sessions
    • Learning: You'll learn how to implement tools from the latest science and research in the field and gain a clear understanding of how to apply them in your own life. You'll learn how to discern what's right for you. This is a toolkit for life.

This is not about fixing yourself

It’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise.

Learning to meet yourself with compassion.

And creating a way of living that feels deeply, beautifully, alive.

If this speaks to you, I’d love to connect.

You can book a discovery call to explore if this is the right fit for you, or reach out with any questions.

Together, we’ll use the breath to come home —

to your body, your truth, and your life.

What the science shows

  • Breathwork interventions are shown to significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms compared to control groups.

 

  • Short, structured breathing practices (5 minutes daily doing techniques like cyclic sighing or box breathing) can improve mood and lower physiological arousal more than some mindfulness meditations.

 

  • Breathwork improves heart rate variability (HRV) — a strong marker of resilience in your nervous system and capacity to bounce back from stress.

 

  • Regular breathwork (especially slow-paced breathing) supports better emotional regulation, interoception (sense of what’s happening inside your body), and greater self-control over stress responses.

 

  • Some breathwork practices (e.g. circular breathwork) are associated with altered states of consciousness similar to psychedelic experiences, which correlate with improvements in psychological well-being and reduced depressive symptoms.

Client Testimonials

"I was lucky enough to have a breath work session with Sophie. It/she was outstanding! I was, I admit, a little apprehensive beforehand, as I’m a very factual, scientific and evidence base person but I needn’t have been. Sophie went through the scientific background to what she was going to do and also throughout the session. It’s raised my awareness to my breathing and I won’t be taking it for granted again. I’ll definitely be going back."
Vicky Moorhead, Clinical Psychologist
“I loved it and feel so much better. As an Asthmatic, I was getting increasingly short of breath when walking upstairs and hills. I have been working with Sophie for 2-3 weeks only and I have noticed a massive difference in my breathing!
Within the first week, I noticed a huge improvement in my shortness of breath by using the techniques daily. I felt less breathless, calmer and more alert in the morning and during the day. As the course has gone on, I’ve also noticed an improvement in my sleep and a general feeling of wellness. Sophie is a great teacher. "
Marcia Black
“After Sophie’s lessons it helped me not cough as much and helped me get over an asthma attack. I have also had a better sleep at night, and I don’t snore anymore!”
Eivie age 10, After a functional parent and child asthma session
“I’ve seen a real improvement in Evie’s sleep in just 3 sessions. I’ve also learned a lot myself, particularly using controlled nasal breathing with running where I have seen improvements.
Since following the protocol Evie hasn’t needed to use her inhalers on a trip into the city centre where this would normally require her to use her reliver inhaler.”
Evie’s mum Katie, After a functional parent and child asthma session
“The best thing about breathwork is that I now have a go-to thing for situations that seem unmanageable. Like exercise or a good night’s sleep, but it works in the moment. It’s invaluable and you teach it really well from a place of experience.“
Ellie, Midwife
“Sophie has been brilliant from the start of our sessions to the end. Her knowledge is outstanding, and she explains the processes step by step. She listens and adapts to your own needs and supports you throughout.
With only a few sessions with Sophie I can feel an improvement in my overall health and 'breathing' has become the norm in a way I never thought about it before. Thank you, Sophie!”
