Breathe, Deep Rest & Sound
Bristol, Bath, Frome and Online, UK
A chance to come back to yourself…
Modern life asks a lot of your nervous system. Sometimes you don't need another strategy, productivity hack or thing to work on.
You need space to stop doing, breathe, rest and let your system settle.
Sound-based practices can offer a deeply immersive experience, while slow breathing can increase parasympathetic activity to support rest and recovery, and deep rest gives you the opportunity to step out of your usual patterns of thinking and doing, creating space to practise seeing yourself and your circumstances from a different perspective.
Can be booked as a one-to-one or group session.
Breathe, Deep Rest & Sound may support:

Breath for Sensitive Nervous Systems
Breathwork and nervous system regulation can be powerful tools for emotional wellbeing, but they aren’t one-size-fits-all. For neurodivergent and highly sensitive people, the nervous system may respond more intensely to changes in breathing, sensation, stimulation and internal focus. Practices that feel calming for one person can sometimes feel activating or overwhelming for another. That’s why I take an individualised, trauma-informed and neuro-affirming approach, paying attention to your unique sensory and physiological responses tailoring approaches to how you respond.
FAQs

Yes, we sometimes use essential oils, sage, or gentle incense to create a calming, grounding atmosphere. These are intended to enhance the experience, but if you’re sensitive, please let us know beforehand and we’ll happily adjust. Your comfort and wellbeing always come first.

Please bring a yoga mat, water, comfortable layered clothing, cosy socks and an eye mask (if you prefer your own). Sessions involve lying down. Temperature can drop slightly as you enter a meditative state, so layers and pillows for comfort are recommended.

Snoring is natural and nothing to feel embarrassed about. Everyone experiences the practice differently, and the group environment is welcoming and non-judgmental. I would be happy to squeeze you on your big toe to let you know if you do.

Every pregnancy is unique, and research on sound baths during pregnancy is limited. We never place instruments directly on anyone. Please consult your physician before attending. With clearance, pregnant participants are welcome—bring extra pillows to lie comfortably on your side, as lying on your back is not recommended after the first trimester.

Deep rest and sound practices are generally gentle and restorative, however they may not be suitable for everyone.
If you have any medical condition, are under medical care, or are unsure whether a sound bath is appropriate for you, please consult your healthcare professional and contact me in advance to discuss your individual needs.
Your comfort is always paramount. You are welcome to adjust your position, step outside, or stop at any time during the session. Listening to your body is encouraged.
