Feeling stretched?
Sustainable Performance for Wellbeing & Success
Are you successful or capable on the outside, but feel burnt out and exhausted, overwhelmed or disconnected internally?
Do you struggle to switch off, rest or recover - even when you know you need to?
Do you want to stay ambitious without burning yourself out?
Breath coaching for sustainable success
You can understand what's happening intellectually and still feel the effects of chronic stress, overwhelm or years of pushing through in your body.
Your breath is one of the most direct ways back in.
Your breath is a powerful link between your body and nervous system. The way you breathe influences your physiology, including heart rate, carbon dioxide levels, autonomic nervous system activity and the communication between your body and brain.
When breathing patterns become inefficient, they can contribute to fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, anxiety and feeling always “on”. Often, these patterns develop gradually and become so familiar that we don’t realise they are there.
Functional breath coaching helps you retrain your breathing patterns, reduce unnecessary physiological stress and build greater capacity for energy, recovery and regulation.
But this isn't about learning another technique to make yourself feel calm. It's about becoming more connected to what's happening in your body, so you can recognise what you need, respond rather than react, and stay connected to yourself when life gets demanding.

Depending on your chosen level of support, we start by establishing a baseline of where you are now: from wellbeing, breathing and physiological capacity to career clarity, confidence, visibility and sustainable performance.
Throughout our work together, we revisit these measures to track your progress and see what's changing over time, giving you tangible evidence of how your capacity, wellbeing and developmental goals are progressing.
Profiling
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
-
No experience is needed.
You don’t need to breathe “correctly” or in a certain way. We work with what’s already available to you.
-
Breathwork is the intentional use of the breath to support awareness, regulation, and nervous system balance.
In my work, breath is used gently and responsively, and not as a performance or a technique to “push through” discomfort.
-
No. I do not use fast, forceful, or cathartic breathing styles.
This work is not about emotional release at all costs. It’s about helping your nervous system feel supported and resourced. -
This breathwork is used to support nervous system regulation, not intensity or emotional release.
Depending on your needs, this may include:Regulation-based breathing (informed by Polyvagal Theory)
Breathing to support deep rest, sleep and recovery
Breathing chemistry (reducing over-breathing, improving efficiency & capacity)
Breathing mechanics (nasal, diaphragmatic, less effortful breathing)
Breathing for movement or exercise
Breathwork to support burnout and chronic overwhelm
Breathwork to build interoceptive awareness and presence
All practices are paced, practical, and responsive to your system.
-
Most contraindications relate to extreme breathwork, such as prolonged breath holds or forceful over-breathing.
The breathwork I use is gentle and regulation-focused. There is no pushing, hyperventilation, or intense breath retention. Practices are always adapted, and breathwork is optional.
Breath-hold and over-breathing training is not for individuals with:Cardiac issues (e.g., heart disease, arrhythmias).
Uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes.
Severe respiratory diseases (e.g., COPD, emphysema).
Pregnancy.
History of stroke or aneurysm.
Recent high stress, anxiety or panic attacks
Psychosis or PTSD
Client Testimonials
“I have had a wonderful experience with Anette. She has such a calm presence and is so insightful. I had no idea I’ve been breathing so shallowly for so long! I feel so much more calm and grounded after my sessions with her!”
Rosie BM. Stylist
"With Anette's knowledgeable and patient guidance through her 8 week programme, I have been able to improve both my breathing and the regulation of my nervous system . These have had positive benefits in many aspects of my life. After working with her, I notice I can now respond with more "choicefulness", when previously I might have been more reactive. I am truly grateful and would highly recommend working with Anette."
