Transforming breathing habits to support lasting health & wellbeing

Hi, I’m Kate — a Restorative Breathing Coach and Energy Release Practitioner.

 

My work is deeply shaped by my own healing journey. After many years navigating ongoing health challenges and the feeling that something was just not quite right, I felt as though I was constantly searching for answers while my wellbeing continued to decline. I spent years peeling back the layers — often slowly and at great cost — only to realise that a vital piece of the puzzle had been missing: how I was breathing.


I discovered that I had developed dysfunctional breathing patterns from early childhood. Over time, and likely through the accumulated stress and pressures of everyday life, these patterns became more ingrained and began to affect my health more profoundly.

While I explored many healing modalities that definitely helped to a degree, I now see that they were perhaps keeping me more afloat, rather than creating the deep, lasting change I was truly seeking.

By restoring functional, healthy breathing habits with the Buteyko Method, I experienced more energy, deeper resilience, and a greater sense of safety within my own body — allowing me to access the level of healing I had needed for so long.

Today, I’m passionate about helping others build strong foundations for healing so they can move forward into happier, healthier lives. This work is not just “breathwork” — it’s about gently retraining breathing patterns and creating sustainable habits that support long-term wellbeing.

I especially love working with women, as I’m fascinated by the close relationship between breathing, our cycles, hormones, and emotional health. It was problems with my own cycle that launched me into looking for solutions almost 15 years ago.

 

I also enjoy supporting equestrians; as a horse owner myself, I noticed that when I began this work, the health and wellbeing of my own horses improved alongside me — a powerful reminder of how deeply connected we are.

Signs & Symptoms of dysfunctional breathing

Here are a selection of issues where imbalances in the body, such as trapped negative energies, may be a contributing factor...

Characteristics of dysfunctional breathing
 

  • Excessive Sighing

  • Excessive yawning 

  • Excessive sniffing 

  • Rapid breathing rate (breaths per minute)

  • Audible breathing at rest

  • Visible or laboured breathing 

  • Oral breathing (stuffy nose)

  • Snoring

  • Sleep apnea 

  • Paradoxical breathing

Symptoms of dysfunctional breathing

  • Air hunger

  • Shortness of breath during mild activities (e.g., talking)

  • Difficulty taking a deep breath

  • Fatigue/lack of energy

  • Anxiety or feelings of breathlessness-related panic

  • Poor concentration or “brain fog”

  • Muscle tension (especially neck and shoulders)

  • Cold hands and feet

  • Low mood

  • Poor sleep

  • Overeating

  • Cardiovascular issues

  • Poor memory

  • Rumination of the mind (overthinking)

  • Hormonal issues

This is by no means an exhaustive list, as it is possible for any imbalances to contribute to any issue your body may be having.  Sometimes the release of imbalances may bring about instantaneous effects, however usually the effects are more subtle, their release often bringing about a greater sense of contentment and peace over time.

  • Anxiety, stress, or trauma

  • Lack of exercise

  • Excessive talking

  • Asthma and other respiratory conditions

  • Hormonal changes (e.g. during menstrual cycle or pregnancy)

  • Learned breathing behaviours or familial habits

  • Misconceptions about breathing (e.g., believing that breathing more air is beneficial)

  • Overeating and highly processed foods

How can I check my own breathing?

Maybe you have read some of the symptoms above and feel that they sound familiar to you and you are interested in how you can perhaps test your own breathing to see if you may benefit from breath retraining - well check out this video and try it out!

Could this be the missing piece for you?

The Emotion Code is a form of energy healing pioneered by Dr Bradley Nelson.  The technique works to identify and release trapped negative emotions, which we believe are potentially harmful emotional energies stored from negative past events.

The Body Code includes finding and releasing trapped emotions, however it also goes more in depth into many other energetic imbalances in the body, as well as a physical side such as identifying toxins, misalignments and pathogens.

The human body has the powerful ability to restore its own health if conditions are right; so I am trying to help facilitate this process by removing any imbalances which may be preventing this from occurring.
