HELLO
It's fair to say that the world has been rather intense over the last 5 years. Everything from a global pandemic to constant political turmoil to the cost of living crisis, war and more.
With such high levels of instability, it's no wonder that people are struggling to cope with everyday living. Anxiety, depression and
overwhelm are more prevalent than ever.
I wanted to find a solution.
MY STORY
As we crept through the global pandemic in early 2022, I suddenly lost my vision alone at Oxford Circus station.
I'd spent two years navigating a video production business during the pandemic when I suddenly found myself diagnosed with a brain tumour. After weeks of diagnostic hell, I finally received life-saving emergency surgery to remove a Colloid Cyst that was causing obstructive hydrocephalous and blackouts, vertigo and blurred vision.
​
I was incredibly lucky to walk away from surgery relatively unscathed (something I'm thankful for everyday!) but my mental health and nervous system were in absolute tatters. As I attempted to rebuild my life, I could feel the weight of anxiety and overwhelm dragging me down and I knew I desperately needed to find a solution that would rebalance my nervous system.
Enter: Conscious Connected Breathwork.
​
In 2024, I was given an opportunity to exchange my filming skills for training in
'Conscious Connected Breathwork'. It was an intensive, hands on, practical course spanning several months.​ I was trained on how to spot dysfunctional breathing patterns, how the nervous system works and how to facilitate the release of stored emotions. I also breathed A LOT. This was life changing not only for my own nervous system (I am much less anxious, more in control, my voice is stronger and my breathing pattern is better!) but more importantly, I'm now ready to hold space to help others find relief.
I'm fully qualified, certified and insured as a 'Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator'
and excited to share this powerful practice with others.
​
If you are feeling stuck, anxious or overwhelmed, please reach out, because I know how that feels.

Conscious Connected Breathwork is a powerful breathing technique that helps to shift our energy, open up the body and to heal our dysfunctional breathing patterns. How we breathe is how we live, you can tell a lot about someone's life, just by their breathing pattern.
​
Unlike talking therapies, Conscious Connected Breathwork reaches the parts of our body where we store unprocessed emotions. It creates what is known as a somatic or physical release from the body, so you may experience shaking, crying, laughing, waves of energy, bliss.
As human beings we suppress so much of what we have experienced, we put on a brave face, keep calm and carry on, but then store our problems in the body creating 'issues in the tissues'. This can play havoc in our daily lives and shows up as depression, anxiety, overwhelm, illness, emotional problems and more.
​
Using a combination of acupressure with rhythmic breathing techniques, I'm trained to look for stuck areas within your body, shifting, opening and clearing any holding patterns.
​
This is a powerful practice, so even if you think you are someone who generally is quite closed off, I have found that this technique is able to take people much deeper than they expect!
That being said, it may take several sessions to open up the breath fully and each session will be a completely different experience from the one you've had before, no two breath sessions are ever the same.

TESTIMONIALS
The breathwork was truly unique, it allowed me to access memories and emotions, some going back 45 years or more. The liberation through
tears, crying, and shaking was profoundly healing, I would highly recommend.

​
Such a lovely, powerful session with Ruth! I came out with a clearer vision, feeling electric and ready for action. She is a beautiful soul. Very easy to talk to.
I would highly recommend having a session with her. She literally breathes this.
- VICKY
​
I found my session with Ruth to be so uplifting! In the midst of complete chaos she helped me to feel grounded, supported, connected and empowered.
I left the session with some very useful tools and most helpfully, I felt way more connected to my inner guidance than I have in a while. - JASMINE
​
Ruth gave me permission to finally voice what I actually wanted. I have started
a new job as a digital content editor and have returned to world in which I will
be paid to write. If you are at a crossroad or even if you aren't, you won't regret it. - GIGI
