Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts.

Breathwork

For thousands of years, cultures around the world have used breathwork to shift physical, emotional, and mental states. From ancient yogic practices like Pranayama to modern therapeutic approaches, conscious breathing offers a direct pathway to greater wellbeing.

Modern life often keeps us in a constant state of alert, triggering high adrenaline levels and shallow breathing. This over-activates the mind, disconnecting us from our bodies and contributing to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, poor sleep, increased heart rate, adrenal fatigue and a stressed nervous system—making it difficult to stay present and healthy.

Wellbeing Breathwork calms and re-sets the nervous system allowing previously held tension and emotions to be released without the need of years of talk therapy.

Through conscious breathing, you can release anxiety, tension, regulate emotions, and reconnect with your natural wellbeing. Breathwork gives you direct access to your own inner calm.

About

Hello.

My name is Athene.

I am a Bristol-based breathwork practitioner and have helped people to discover their innate well-being for nearly three decades. 

I combine breathwork with guided meditation, energy work, Reiki, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming to help individuals to release anxiety trauma, phobias, depression and many more.  I have worked in addiction centres, GP surgeries, health and retreat centres, businesses, schools, and homes to bring a tailored blend of self-empowering practices to release and replace sub-conscious behaviours. 

Through breathwork, I have personally experienced profound transformations. After having trained in many different modalities, I realised breathwork was the missing master key. I have seen people achieve extraordinary shifts in just one or two sessions, with the body naturally processing emotions, changing behaviors, and healing wounds from life and childhood—often without years of talk therapy. I share this work through individual sessions, group programs and workshops, teaching techniques that help you access desired states of being through the power of the breath.

If you would like to book a session please contact me.

One on One

Each session is tailored to your unique needs. Together we’ll practise simple breathing techniques to help reset your nervous system, creating a sense of calm, safety, and balance. We may then move into a longer guided practice called Conscious Connected Breathing. This can take place either sitting up or lying down, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.

After the guided breathing, there is space for you to share your experiences and feelings. We’ll also take time to discuss next steps and ways to continue supporting your wellbeing journey.

For the deepest benefit, I usually recommend beginning with a series of three weekly sessions. Ongoing sessions typically last around one hour.  

For more information or to book please contact me.

Breathe with intention, calm your mind, and restore balance. Conscious breathwork is a simple yet powerful way to ease stress, anxiety and reconnect with yourself.

In a one-to-one session, we begin by exploring where you are right now—physically, emotionally, your overall wellbeing—and where you’d like to be.
