Breathworks for Stress Course Details 

In the beginning, humans were born with a negativity bias in order to survive – if we didn’t think there might be a lion behind that bush ahead, we’d have been eaten alive! So, we are usually on heightened alert and this can affect our levels of stress, anxiety and deplete our immune system.

The great news from neuroscientists and research using brain scans, is that we can learn to re-wire the neurons in our brain with practice and this can be done using mindfulness. Happiness and calm are skills that CAN be learned just as you can learn to drive a car.

At the end of this 6-week course, you WILL have a tool kit of daily actions, habits and practices that enable you to override this negativity bias and to prevent you from piling on secondary suffering onto what may already be quite a stressful life! When you apply them to your life, you will understand why one of my participants described breathworks as, ‘a game changer!”

Who is the course for?

If you feel that stress from: family, work, loss, relationships, depression, a general feeling of being overwhelmed, social anxiety or you just want to boost your resilience and maybe feel more of a sense of joy in your life, then please join this course, IT IS FOR YOU! 

Please, allow me to teach you how to enhance the quality of your life, bring you more happiness and the freedom to be you.

Breathworks for Health Course Details

This eight-week course will enable anybody with a chronic health condition to overcome much of their suffering by learning, breathworks, mindfulness and self-compassion. The founder of my training programme, ‘Breathworks’, is Vidyamala Birch who, after thirty years of managing severe, chronic pain has demonstrated the effectiveness of mindfulness within a number of scientific trials. She has also just been awarded an OBE for her role in developing Mindfulness Based Pain Management (MBPM) - well done Vidyamala, well deserved!

There are options to live well with whatever chronic pain or health condition you have, I personally have learned to live a much more liberated life from my chronic health diagnosis, after beginning my journey to where I am now, twenty-four years ago.

Clinical trials show that mindfulness techniques, habit releasers and meditation practice can be as effective as prescription painkillers and encourage the body’s healing system by reducing certain hormones, balancing others and re-wiring the neurons in our brain. This course is fundamentally led by huge amounts of research that has changed the lives of thousands of people around the globe.

Breathworks for health sessions can be offered on Zoom to enable everyone to attend from all over the world, especially those who would find attending a live course a challenge.

Whether your health condition is long-term, short-term; temporary or permanent, please give this course a go and learn to enhance the quality of your life…

Breathworks in the Workplace Details

The question here is what is breathworks and how can it be of help in the workplace? Well, neuroscientists' research evidence and the use of brain scans, can now provide us with the proof that there’s a plasticity in our brains that we were previously unaware of; we can re-wire the neurons in our brain with practice and this can be done using breathworks and mindfulness concepts.

Our health and well-being will improve, using skills learned on these courses.

Be assured however, these courses will be tailored to the individual needs of the organisation or the participant and a briefing meeting would need to be arranged prior to the course; this could either be in person or on-line and of course, free of charge, in order to establish details such as the following:

• Who is the client/participant?

• Who is the course for in the workplace?

• What are the challenges faced by the workplace or the individual?

• What are the needs of the participants?

• Which programme meets their needs?
