Frequently Asked Questions

  • Breathwork and bodywork are body-based practices that support awareness, regulation, and reconnection through the breath and the body. Rather than working only with thoughts or talking things through, these practices bring the body into the process.

    Breathwork uses conscious breathing to help calm the nervous system, release tension, and reconnect with the body’s natural rhythm. Bodywork involves respectful touch and somatic practices that support grounding, presence, and a sense of safety in the body.

    Together, these practices offer a way to listen to what the body is communicating and respond with care.

  • Modern life often keeps the nervous system in a state of constant alert. Breathwork and bodywork help the body feel safe enough to slow down.

    Through conscious breathing and gentle body-based practices, the nervous system can shift from stress and activation into rest and regulation. Many people notice increased calm, clarity, and a greater sense of grounding, as well as an improved ability to respond to life rather than react to it.

    This work supports balance rather than forcing change.

  • Many people are drawn to these practices during periods of burnout, transition, or change, when familiar ways of coping no longer feel supportive.

    Breathwork and bodywork offer space to pause, reconnect, and gently orient during uncertain or demanding times. Rather than fixing or pushing for outcomes, the work supports steadiness, presence, and self-awareness while things are shifting.

    You do not need to be in crisis to benefit. Curiosity, or a sense of feeling disconnected or flat, is often enough.

  • Each session begins with a short conversation to check in and understand what is present for you on the day. This helps guide the session in a way that feels supportive and appropriate.

    You will then be guided through breathwork and, where suitable, gentle body-based practices that support grounding and awareness. Sessions move at a pace that feels respectful and safe. You remain in control throughout and are always welcome to pause, adjust, or ask questions.

    Time is included at the end for rest and integration, allowing the experience to settle.

  • Breathwork works with the nervous system, supporting the body to move between gentle activation and rest.

    As awareness increases, you may notice physical sensations such as warmth, tingling, changes in breathing, emotional responses, or memories arising. These experiences vary from person to person and from session to session.

    The focus is not on forcing release or transformation, but on listening to the body and allowing it to respond at its own pace.

  • No previous experience is needed. Many people come to breathwork and bodywork for the first time through Her Wilder Nature.

    Sessions are guided clearly and gently, and everything is offered as an invitation rather than an instruction. You are encouraged to listen to your body and move at a pace that feels right for you.

    Beginners are very welcome.

  • Item descriptionI currently offer in person breathwork and bodywork sessions in North London, including Muswell Hill, Crouch End, and Highgate.

  • Yes. Online breathwork sessions are available for people based anywhere.

    While bodywork is primarily offered in person, online sessions can still be deeply supportive through guided breathwork, awareness practices, and nervous system regulation. Many people appreciate the option to work from the comfort of their own home.

  • In person sessions allow for shared physical presence and, where appropriate body-based work. They can be especially supportive for those who value being held in a physical space.

    Online sessions focus more on breathwork, guided awareness, and verbal support. They offer flexibility and accessibility, and can be just as grounding when approached with intention.

    We can explore together which format feels most supportive for you.

  • Because breathwork works with the nervous system, there are some situations where it may not be appropriate or may need to be adapted.

    Please let me know before booking if any of the following apply to you.

    • Detached retina or glaucoma

    • Osteoporosis

    Psychological considerations

    • A prior diagnosis of bipolar disorder or schizophrenia

    • Psychotic or borderline psychotic states

    • Any other mental health condition that may impair your ability to engage safely in practices involving strong emotional or physical sensations

    Breathwork and bodywork are not a substitute for medical care, psychotherapy, or mental health treatment. They may complement other forms of support, but they do not replace professional care.

    Your safety and wellbeing always come first.
