Breathwork for trauma and healing in Yorkshire

Our bodies have a built-in self-healing mechanism when it comes to trauma, stress, and overwhelm. But this won't get to work without our creating the space, respect, time and patience for it. Breathwork allows the spaciousness needed for healing to happen naturally.

Somatic Rebirth Breathwork is the type of breathwork that I offer for healing work, trauma, and self-discovery. 

I trained with both the AIR School of Breathwork and the Bedfordshire Centre for Therapeutic Studies, and have been facilitating breathwork with clients since 2021. With a wealth of experience, I have also trained new breathworkers and breath coaches in the UK and internationally, supporting the field of breathwork to grow.

I will teach and guide you to breathe in a non-stop circular fashion (no breaks between your inhale and exhale) for an extended period of time e.g.  45 min to 1 hour. This creates space for your body to relax and release stored emotions and difficult experiences. It is a unique way of working with trauma, mental health, dissociation, anxiety, depression, or even just for personal development. 

Sessions generally last for up to 2 hours. You will be fully supported through the experience including through any intense feelings or memories that arise. There is a saying in the breathwork world that the breath is wise and it will not take you anywhere that you are not ready to go yet. 

Arras Healing also offers functional breathwork. Some brief info is given below. I normally work with a blended approach of somatic trauma and functional breathwork, plus diaphragmatic breathing or Buteyko, depending on what is arising for clients in-the-moment and how experienced they are.  

We can transform physical and mental health through the simple power of the breath and by learning how to 'breathe well.' Through working with the body, we can heal tension and repetitive patterns in our biology and our breath, which are causing us difficulties and pain. Functional breathwork and breath coaching is suitable for a wide range of conditions. I hope this helps, please do contact me with any other questions.
