My personal breath journey

As a movement educator and myofascial release practitioner the concept of breath has fascinated and influenced me for decades. I experienced my first lung collapse at the age of 36. Before I was fully recovered I experienced another, and then another and another... at some point I stopped counting. Each pneumothorax is a new opportunity to experience the rhythm, the cycle of breath.

Living with catamenial pneumothorax motivates my sustained investigation into fascia and the transformative quality of breath.

“Breath is the story of an organism’s relationship with its environment—a rhythmic dance of continuous exchange.”

Breath and Moving Fascia^®

I am the creator of Moving Fascia®, a somatic movement method that blends movement and myofascial release techniques with a focus on nervous system regulation. As your facilitator, I bring a deep commitment to breath, as well as expertise in fascia, anatomy, and movement. I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Anatomical Sciences from the University of Edinburgh and teach embodied anatomy to movement teachers.

Why breath?

Breath has been the epicentre of my work for as long as I can remember and I am personally committed to its lifelong research. Each time I have a lung collapse I am reminded 'I am breathing'.  As each breath becomes even more precious I re-learn, again and again, breath is the constant continuum for life.

If like me you want to dive deeper, and experience  the impact of breath in your own health, with your own personal story, I invite you to join me. we will begin with the Winter Solstice, in the deepest of darkness, carving space and time to nourish and self-regulate through breath. Arrive at the Summer Solstice with a reinvigorated practice, new tools and understanding that replenishes your breath, your practice and your awareness.
