25th July 2026, This week has really brought about a shift in my outlook…Im feeling more free and the urge to not be tied down to one place. It can be tricky knowing I am making the right decisions as my children will come with us what ever we decide. The purchase of the house in Thailand (Phuket) is going through and were feeling very happy about the decision, although we’ve been speaking and will now travel more than initially planned….theres a whole wide world to see and swapping one anchored place for another doesn’t seem to make sense anymore. The daily breathwork commitment has had a profound impact on my confidence in my decision making. I feel Iv expanded so much the past year since starting the course – thats how I came to the decision to move in the beginning, letting go of all my past ‘priorities’ like the kids clubs and things I thought were really important, like academic achievements. I do still believe that these things have in importance but not with the priority that they was previously given. Were going to try out the Virtual schooling option for core subjects….well just see how this goes and will aim to work out our own history & art paths ourselves. Every few weeks that passes with the daily practice has embraced me a little further and I feel huge shifts on a regular basis. I really do feel I have a new opportunity at life, the course and the breathwork have given me so much…things I never even knew were mine.
19th July 2026, Great news from the Italian Retreat property….this is going to be such a relief to us all….we have a builder!! Although the architect has stopped answering his phone, this still feels like progress, its been a long and thankless process so far – and of course everyone closes in Italy for August… so were not quite over the hill yet. The windows have been refused as the commune have specified they will only accept the wood sash windows – which will look better. Any decisions are taking quite sometime to come through but we’re grateful for the opportunity to renovate such a beautiful house in this beautiful part of the world, Lake Como is just majestic!
17th July 2026, Summer is well underway, my course has now finished and I have been busy finalising some of my submissions. I have started a daily breathwork practice now which I am absolutely delighted to commit to. I have felt a shift into a calmer state, more patience, more enjoyment, more clarity in my thoughts. The determination to progress and grow my new venture has actually really inspired me, to really give it my all. I have enrolled with ‘the straight line’ to get some support with sales & marketing more so for the Retreats part of my journey. I am so ready to take the next steps now and share my journey and new found skills helping others. Iv started recording my breathworks and sharing them too, which I wouldn’t have believed about myself this time 11 months ago! I honesty feel like the breathwork is so amazing I just want to share it with the world, and let them know how accessible it is, how anyone can do breathwork anywhere…..thats feeing like my message I want to share.
23rd June 2026, With the amazing course coming to an end soon….I am feeling truly blessed to have been able to attend, experience the depth of the training and meet the true gems that I trained with. Shakti (trainer/mentor/all of the knowledge ) was just perfect for the training, never once have I felt like I couldn’t ask a question. My 121 receives went really well, I have learnt so much from experiencing other facilitators techniques and styles. I have now shared my newly found knowledge with 121s and groups (small ones), so I am reeling in the feeling of knowing that I have really embraced the course and the finer details of the facilitation process
18th June 2026, Another small group session underway, I am still using my short hand frame but confidence is growing all the time. The sessions so far have been all face to face at the Brentwood Breathwork Studio, extremely blessed to have such a beautiful setting at my house to carry out the work I am doing.

3rd June 2026, My 121 offerings have been a real eye opener, these were all carried out in person in the Brentwood Breathwork Studio, finally have all the mats and other comforts for my session’s. I am yet to carry out any virtual sessions but I will get this together over the summer. I have been asked by an AA group to carry out a virtual breathwork session for one of the long serenity meetings which I am thrilled about. One of my passions and hopes has always been to be help those in recovery.
