Breathe with the ribs, not the shoulders
Most of us breathe high and fast without noticing. We start by finding the lower ribs so the diaphragm can do its job again.
Nothing to fix, nothing to perform
Breathwork that meets your nervous system where it is
You lie down, we take the pressure off, and the breath does the slow work. One-to-one sessions online with either of us, or in person with Jonathan in Auckland and Shelley in Perth.

What it tends to do
Breathing is the one part of the nervous system you can reach directly
Body and nervous system
Less bracing through the neck, jaw and chest, and sleep that tends to come easier.
Emotional life
Not fewer feelings. More room to feel something strongly and still stay present with it.
Presence
Thinking feels less crowded afterwards, and you start catching tension earlier.
The foundation
Understanding the foundation of movement allows for a safe, supportive practice
Steady the head and neck
A jaw that never lets go keeps the whole system on alert. Small changes here settle the breath faster than any technique.
Let the exhale finish
The long, unhurried out-breath is where the shift happens. We practise it until it stops feeling like effort.
A breath at a time
"Nothing to fix, nothing to keep up with. Just a room, a blanket, and enough time for your breath to slow down on its own."

Why people come
Wired but tired is a real thing, and it responds to slowing down
Most people arrive holding a full week on their shoulders. We don't ask you to talk about it, perform it, or fix it in one go. You get a warm room, a blanket, and a voice that keeps you company while your system unwinds.
- Sleep that stops breaking at 3am
- A body that isn't braced all day
- Somewhere to relieve grief, anger or overwhelm
- A practice you can do conveniently at home in five minutes
Sessions
One-to-one sessions, shaped around what you bring
You don't need to choose a technique or know what to ask for before you arrive. Every session is 90 minutes, lying comfortably on a mat, and shaped entirely around what your body needs on the day.
Comfortable & Supported
Blankets, bolsters, an eye pillow, and a quiet, dedicated space so your physical body can let go completely.
Nothing to Perform
No intense breathwork or expectations to 'achieve' a breakthrough. Your body leads the way and receives what it needs.
One-to-One
A 90-minute breathwork journey with Jonathan or Shelley holding a safe space for you the entire time.
Customised to You
We talk first, and tailor the session to meet you where you are right now. Nothing is forced, and you are fully supported throughout.

From the journal
Plain writing about breath, sleep and slowing down
No mysticism, no miracle claims. Just what we've seen work in the room.
