Candy Dowson was a Functional Breath Coach and Teacher, Rebirth Breathworker, Somatic Practitioner, and Independent Consultant. She worked with clients, groups and organisations through Arras Healing between 2021 - 2025. Prior to this, she worked in the public sector, NHS, and the voluntary sector in transformational programmes and partnerships. She has served as a tutor in breathwork for the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB), supporting new breath coaches and breathworkers UK and internationally to train and develop their practice.
Candy’s work and ethos is grounded in trauma-informed leadership and somatic-based theory and practice. She is a long-time student of international trauma facilitator Thomas Hübl PhD and although not currently in private practice, she remains well-respected amongst her peers in the field.
As part of her long-standing commitment to a trauma-informed world built on social and ancestral justice, Candy facilitated numerous peer groups for coaches, therapists, teachers, breathworkers, somatic practitioners and counsellors, some of which had a truly global membership. These covered themes such as feminine/women's trauma, war trauma, masculinity, decolonisation, identity, spirituality, ancestral healing, somatics, and breathwork.
Since December 2025, Candy has ended her private client and groupwork in order to turn her focus towards writing, blogging and research.
