Meet Clare
I'm Clare, founder of Healing Breath.
Like many people, there have been times in my life when I felt overwhelmed, disconnected from myself and unsure why certain situations affected me so deeply.
For years, I believed I simply needed to cope better, push through or try harder.
As I began learning about the connection between our experiences, our emotions, the body and the nervous system, I realised something that changed the way I saw myself.
My responses weren't signs that something was wrong with me.
They were understandable adaptations to what I had experienced.
That understanding didn't erase life's challenges, but it changed the relationship I had with them.
It also changed how I wanted to support others.
Today, I'm passionate about creating spaces where people feel safe enough to become curious about themselves, recognising that awareness creates opportunities for new choices and different ways of responding to life.
About Clare
Creating spaces where understanding becomes the starting point for change
Healing Breath began with a simple belief. When we understand ourselves more deeply, we begin to relate to ourselves differently.
Instead of asking, "What's wrong with me?"
we begin asking, "What might my mind and body be responding to?"
That shift can change everything and it's the philosophy that sits at the heart of every conversation, every breathwork session and every wellbeing evening I offer.
My Approach
I don't believe emotional wellbeing is about becoming calm all the time. A healthy nervous system is designed to respond to life with flexibility. It helps us connect, protect ourselves, recover, celebrate, grieve and adapt.
Sometimes our experiences make those responses feel harder to navigate. Rather than trying to fight those responses, I believe we first need to understand them.
I help you explore what's happened, what your mind and body may be communicating, and how you can begin to move forward with greater awareness and choice.
Everything I offer is grounded in trauma-informed practice. That means your experiences are respected. Your choices matter. Your pace is honoured.
How I Can Support You
Whether you're looking for one-to-one support, Conscious Connected Breathwork or a monthly wellbeing evening, every experience is designed around the same philosophy.
Helping you understand yourself more deeply so you can navigate life with greater awareness, flexibility and choice.
Professional Background
Alongside my lived experience, my work is informed by ongoing professional training in trauma-informed wellbeing and a range of evidence-informed approaches, including:
- Clinical Hypnotherapy
- Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
- Conscious Connected Breathwork
- Somatic and body-based practices
- Nervous system education
- Trauma-informed practice
Rather than relying on a single technique, I draw on different approaches to meet each person where they are, recognising that no two people, or their experiences, are the same.
Beyond Healing Breath
Outside of my work, I'm a mum of three and someone who deeply values nature; walking our dog Lily, meaningful connections and the importance of slowing down.
Those everyday moments remind me that wellbeing isn't something we achieve once and keep forever. It's something we nurture through the choices we make, the relationships we build and the way we learn to listen to ourselves over time.
Ready to Begin?
Whether you're taking your first step or continuing your journey, I'd be honoured to help you explore your needs.
