With practice, our breathing patterns can help to soothe and de-escalate the issues arising from a system stuck in a sympathetic response mode and in some cases do even more than that, by supporting the parasympathetic NS to achieve a more relaxed and efficient level of functioning. Some benefits include:

• Anxiety Management
• Detoxification
• Nervous System Repair
• trauma release

I have always had physical health & nutrition at a forefront of my living and focus. In 2014 I encountered a practicing Shaman Adrian Rivas who was holding a retreat in West Cork. Drawn to this from my curious nature for practices that are somewhat 'outside the box'. I experienced a very unique and profound sense of self-discovery where more questions than answers were discovered. This quest led me to many places and teachers with the focus of immersing more into the possibilities of breath practice. In 2015 went on to Canada to study under Robin Clements (Breathwave.net).

Robin shared his principles and knowledge while still encouraging his students to deepen and trust their own practice in connecting and living from the heart, while still allowing growth into their own expression of the Breathwave teaching. To further deepen my practice, I attended under the instruction of Patrick McKeown with Buteyko and Oxygen Advantage. Through these studies and the ongoing study of breathing modalities, I find myself today teaching, supporting, and guiding people who are interested in their own self-practice of a deeper awareness of the mind-body and more.
