When nothing flows, start with your breath
Trauma-informed breathwork for women
The One Breath Method
The One Breath Method™ is a trauma-informed, client-led approach that combines Introspective Breathwork® Therapy with somatic practices to support nervous system regulation and self-awareness, offering a bridge back to your body.
Introspective Breathwork® uses conscious, connected breathing for gentle yet active self-exploration. This process helps you meet what's present in your body, allowing emotions and energy to move in ways that expand your capacity. As your capacity increases, what has been held in the body (old trauma, protective patterns, unprocessed emotions) can begin to soften, move and be integrated. When these releases happen, you can create more space for clarity, joy, and ease. Music plays a central role in each session, with carefully curated playlists that support your process without overwhelming your nervous system.
What to expect in a session
While each breathwork experience is unique, here's the general flow of a session:
-
We begin by exploring what feels most present for you and setting an intention together. This part of the session can be a brief check-in or a longer exploration, and may include somatic or grounding practices to support your nervous system before moving into breathwork. The pace and focus of each session is always client-led.
-
This is where we move into Introspective Breathwork®. You’ll be supported to stay with your own experience, making adjustments whenever needed. Whether that means shifting position, pausing, or softening your breath. Intentional music is played to support your process.
-
After breathwork, we allow time and space to integrate. This may include quiet reflection, journaling, grounding practices, or sharing your experience if you want to.
Hi, I’m Liv
I know what it's like to feel overwhelmed by emotions, stuck in your head and disconnected from your body. I spent years searching outside myself for answers, until breathwork showed me I'd been looking in the wrong direction.
I realised I didn't need all the external resources I'd convinced myself were necessary. The things I believed were helping me (the rigid routines, the supplements) were actually pulling me further away from myself. After spending a long time managing depression, I started to feel like I wanted more for myself, and that’s when I discovered breathwork.
Everything changed for me when I started learning to listen to my body and to the parts of myself I’d been taught to ignore, finally seeing beneath the surface and connecting to my real emotions. This connection came through my breath.
I’m a certified trauma-informed breathwork practitioner and I work with women who are seeking something more for themselves. My approach is gentle and intuitive, ensuring we always stay within your window of tolerance, building self-awareness and capacity with time and commitment.
I hold certifications in Introspective Breathwork® Therapy and Usui Reiki, with specialist training in somatics and trauma-informed care. I work with clients online and in-person in Brighton's North Laine.

FAQs
-
I work 1:1 with women, supporting those navigating anything from day-to-day stress to more complex experiences.

Online sessions take place via Zoom in a private, one-to-one setting. You'll need a quiet, comfortable space where you can be undisturbed for a minimum of 90 minutes, along with a stable internet connection.
The session follows the same structure as in-person: we check in and set an intention, move into the breathwork with music support played through Zoom, and then you will have time to integrate afterward. Many clients find that practicing at home allows them to settle more easily into the process due to the familiarity of their environment and the ease of resting afterward without needing to travel or navigate the journey home.
-
There’s nothing specific you need to do, and no prior experience is required. Wear comfortable clothes, have some water and blankets nearby, and choose a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. If we are working online, I recommend using headphones, as they can improve sound quality and enhance your experience. For in-person sessions, I provide everything you need on the day.
After booking, you’ll receive an email confirmation with more details and suggestions to help you feel comfortable.

No. While both use conscious connected breathing, they are different practices with different approaches and intentions.
Rebirthing Breathwork was developed in the 1970s and often focuses on accessing birth trauma and past experiences through intense breathing patterns. It can sometimes be practiced without adequate trauma awareness or nervous system support.
Introspective Breathwork® Therapy (IBT) is a modern, trauma-informed modality that prioritizes nervous system safety and client agency. You remain in full control of your experience at all times, and the pace is always guided by your capacity rather than by a prescribed technique or outcome. IBT emphasises gentle, sustainable nervous system regulation and integration, rather than cathartic release.

This work is trauma-informed and always honours your capacity and pace. Introspective Breathwork® Therapy is a client-led modality, meaning you remain in control of your experience and your breath. You will never be guided to force the breath. Forced breathing can make contraindications more prominent, which is why IBT® emphasises working in a way that respects your window of tolerance. If you have any medical or mental health concerns, we can discuss them before booking. Full contraindications are listed on my terms page.
