When nothing flows, start with your breath
Supporting women to meet self-doubt with compassion and reconnect with their inner trust through breathwork, Reiki, and the healing power of music
A space to reconnect, release, and feel safe in your body
I work with women who are ready to explore what's beneath the surface. This space isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about reconnecting. Using Introspective Breathwork® Therapy and Reiki, I offer gentle, trauma-sensitive sessions that support nervous system regulation, emotional release, and self-trust.
Does this sound familiar?
You feel stuck in your head and disconnected from your body.
Stress, anxiety, or overwhelm make it hard to feel grounded.
You’re holding onto past experiences that feel difficult to release.
Your inner critic is loud, and self-doubt feels constant.
You crave a space to process without judgement or expectation.
You struggle to prioritise your needs without feeling guilty or selfish.
Caring for others has made it hard to stay connected to yourself.
Your nervous system feels like it’s always on high alert.
If this resonates, you're not alone. I work with women who feel caught in cycles of disconnection, self-doubt, and overwhelm. Often, what we’re experiencing in the body (tightness in the chest, a racing mind, or exhaustion that rest doesn’t shift) has less to do with surface-level stress and more to do with what hasn’t yet had space to be processed.
These aren’t just random symptoms. They’re signals from a nervous system stuck in survival mode.

We live in a world that teaches women to hold it all together. To stay composed. To push through. Somewhere along the way, we were taught that expressing emotion was weakness, and that strength looked like silence.
Emotional suppression doesn’t protect us. It accumulates in the body, slowly showing up as tension, dysregulation, or chronic health issues we can’t always name.
Many women are living with nervous systems stuck in survival mode. Research shows that women experience significantly higher rates of certain chronic pain conditions, including fibromyalgia, migraines, irritable bowel syndrome, and jaw-related conditions like TMJ pain. These conditions often appear at 2 to 7 times the rate seen in men and are frequently linked to prolonged stress and trauma responses in the body.
When we're constantly bracing, second-guessing ourselves, and holding back what we feel, the body carries that weight.
When we bury our anger, sadness, or pain, they don't just disappear; they fester. The body is designed to process emotions, but when we deny ourselves the space to feel, those emotions become trapped. Over time, they shape our inner world and impact our nervous system and overall health.
When past experiences remain unprocessed, they can keep the body in incomplete survival responses. This work creates space for those responses to complete, allowing your system to return to balance.
Somatic healing practices like breathwork and Reiki offer space to reconnect with what has been buried, not through force, but through presence. These practices support nervous system regulation and emotional integration, helping us return to the root rather than only addressing surface symptoms.
Your nervous system has evolved to protect you. When it perceives threat, it activates survival states like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. This work supports your system to recognise safety and shift out of defence, gently expanding your ‘window of tolerance’, so that experiences can be felt and processed without becoming overwhelming.
When you create space to listen to your body’s cues and honour your emotional experiences, reconnection becomes possible. From that place, a deeper sense of ease, trust, and authenticity can grow.
How this works
Gentle & trauma-sensitive
This approach isn't about forcing techniques or trying to 'fix' anything. It meets you exactly where you are, creating safety for your nervous system to shift from survival mode into rest and restoration. This work prioritises nervous system regulation before emotional processing, ensuring you're always working within a zone that feels manageable and safe.
Breathwork: active exploration
Breathwork invites active exploration through intentional breath, supporting self-regulation while allowing you to shift stored energy and deepen self-awareness. Many women experience a profound sense of relief as emotions find their natural expression in a contained, supported way.
Music: emotional resonance
Music creates a powerful container for the breathwork journey, often reaching places that words alone cannot. Each session includes carefully curated soundscapes designed to guide emotional expression, soothe the nervous system, and support access to deeper layers of felt experience. Rhythm and melody act as bridges between conscious awareness and the body’s emotional landscape, expanding your capacity to be present with what’s been held, and, when it feels safe, to let it move.
Reiki: restoration and integration
Reiki provides a restorative space that helps your nervous system to settle and creates balance. This gentle practice often creates a deep sense of safety and nurturing that many women have been missing.
Together, these modalities work in harmony, creating a natural rhythm between release and restoration. This work is based on the understanding that healing isn’t about seeking something outside of yourself.
Breathwork, music and Reiki help you create space to listen inward, trust your process, and reconnect with what is already within.
What to expect in a session
Throughout the session, you are encouraged to listen to your body's cues, allowing the process to unfold in a way that feels safe and supportive for you. Each session is shaped by what you need on the day.
Your agency is paramount. You set the pace, ensuring you always feel in control of your experience. You’ll be encouraged to listen to what feels right for you (adjust your breath, change positions, or take a pause at any time). Every part of the session is invitational, guided by your comfort and choice.
Over time, you may begin to develop your own toolkit for regulation, including breath practices, grounding techniques, and ways to check in with your nervous system throughout the day.
While each journey is unique, here's the general flow:
-
A trauma-sensitive approach that invites deep self-exploration without force.
Conscious breathing to process emotions, ease tension, and reconnect with your body.
Carefully chosen music supports emotional movement and deepens somatic awareness throughout the breathwork journey.
-
A space to rest, settle, and integrate after breathwork.
Gentle energy work to support nervous system regulation and deep relaxation.
-
Time to ground and settle before re-entering your day.
Optional space for verbal reflection or silent integration, whatever feels right for you.

Meet Liv
I know firsthand what it’s like to feel disconnected, stuck in your head, and overwhelmed by emotions.
When I discovered breathwork, I realised that healing isn’t about thinking our way through things. It begins when we create space to listen to the body and trust what’s already there, without force or expectation. This personal journey led me to become the practitioner I am today. I’m Liv, a certified trauma-informed breathwork facilitator and Reiki practitioner, and I now dedicate my work to supporting women on similar healing paths.
My approach is grounded in the understanding that healing isn’t about fixing. It’s about reconnecting with yourself in a way that feels safe, intuitive, and empowering.
I believe the body has an innate ability to heal when given the space and support to do so. Through both training and lived experience, I’ve come to understand how unprocessed emotions and experiences can become trapped in the body and nervous system. Gentle, trauma-sensitive practices can create the conditions for release, regulation, and lasting reconnection.
Music has always played a powerful role in my personal healing. It has the capacity to stir emotion, unlock memory, and evoke what we may not even realise is there, until a single note brings it forward. In sessions, I use carefully curated playlists to support your breathwork journey, inviting connection, depth, and emotional movement in a way that silence alone cannot. Like the breath, music works with the limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for emotion, memory, and regulation, making it a powerful partner in somatic and emotional healing.
I am deeply committed to a trauma-sensitive approach that recognises how the body and nervous system hold and process experience. I bring this understanding into every session, creating a space not just for emotional release, but for physiological regulation, supporting your body in shifting out of survival and into safety. Through Introspective Breathwork® Therapy and Reiki, you’re invited to reconnect with your body at your own pace, in a way that feels safe and grounding, restoring a sense of balance and presence.
I work specifically with women who are ready to deepen their relationship with themselves, process what the body holds, and reclaim their inner safety.
Sessions take place in two calm, welcoming locations in Brighton’s North Laine and central Hove. Remote sessions are also available if you prefer to experience breathwork from the comfort of your own space.
I hold certifications in Introspective Breathwork® Therapy and Usui Reiki, with specialist training in trauma-informed, somatic approaches. I continue to deepen my learning in somatic trauma work and nervous system regulation to support this practice in an ever-evolving way.
