A MONDAY MEMORY FROM A HAPPY MUM, THANK YOU…

#TBT “Thank you for your session at Imogen’s school today – she really enjoyed it and came home with all kinds of goodies.” Sue Kelbrick Just looking back at some work I did with schools on the power of the breath for sleep. I had a conversation with a middle aged couple in the park […]
Why the Physiological Sigh Helps, and Why Retraining the Breath Matters Long-Term

When panic rises, it can feel as though the body has taken over. The chest tightens, the breath becomes uneven, and suddenly every inhale feels too small. In moments like that, the physiological sigh can be a helpful short-term reset because it gives the nervous system a clear signal to downshift and can quickly bring […]
Is sighing bad for you and why is ‘sigh’ in my brand name?

Why “Sighing” Is in My Brand Name I get asked about this often enough that it seemed time to explain it properly. At first glance, sighing may sound like a strange thing to build into a brand name. Most people think of sighing as a sign of tiredness, frustration, or emotional overwhelm. But from a […]
CATS GET AWAY WITH THIS POSTURE ON TECH, HUMANS DON’T…

I’ve helped human beings who adopt a posture like this when scrolling on their mobile or watching TV. They never realised how bad it was for their breathing. Yes, lying on your left side is perfect for good sleep posture. But the tendency to breath hold and hyperventilate albeit hidden whilst performing using a phone […]

HUGS, BREATHING AND SOMEONE TO FOLLOW

A little post about human touch… Consensual human touch can have powerful effects on our body. It can lower stress and helps us feel calmer by lowering our breathing rate. It’s exactly why parents are told to hold their babies, skin to skin at birth but as we age most people stop doing this, it’s […]

LOVED BEING A GUEST ON THE ‘WHO AM I’ PODCAST…

Big thanks to Paul Garrigan Pactmantality and Carly Skelly – two beautiful souls who allowed me to share a little of what I know about the power of the breath.

WALKING AND BREATHING FOR MINDFUL MOVEMENT…

Did you know that walking (mouth closed, breathing from the diaphragm), adding in a simple stretching routine connects you to your parasympathetic nervous state? This, in turn, increases your capacity to tolerate stress by making you feel less reactive. Why don’t they teach this stuff in schools, colleges and universities? Well, I decided to do […]
