Rebecca has been a practitioner for nearly 20 years. Through her intuitive and compassionate approach, she supports communities, clients and workplaces in better understanding their patterns and behaviours, how the past has shaped their experiences, emotional blockages and physical tension. By bringing awareness to the breath, the landscape of the nervous system and somatic healing methods she helps people feel empowered by their innate ability to heal from within.

Rebecca’s approach blends breathwork, bodywork, coaching, somatic trauma counselling techniques, bi-lateral processing, nervous system regulation, parts work, shamanic, IFS (Internal Family Systems) and mindset tools for a holistic approach. Through her skilled space holding and extensive experience, she is dedicated to helping individuals access lasting transformation and optimum well-being.

Rebecca is a Somatic Breathwork Trainer and practitioner, certified Trauma Counsellor and earned an ITEC Diploma in Anatomy & Physiology. She has co-trained with Transformational Breath, studied Polyvagal Theory, Breath Mastery, Reiki Levels I, II, and III, Somatic Bodywork and Deep Tissue Massage and Counselling. She also completed Eagle Condor Shamanic Training and trained in Movement in Modern Life, Somatic Attachment Work, Parts Work, and Somatic Trauma Therapy.

Rebecca is on a mission to teach as many people as she can how to empower their lives and improve their physical and mental wellbeing with integrative somatic breathwork techniques.

At Wasing, we see things differently. That we are inherently part of nature and that what harms the planet ultimately harms us. Everything is connected. Wasing Wellbeing is a dedicated & unique space for revitalising and healing experiences, guiding your journey towards powerful personal care and sustainable health and wellness. The workshop takes place at Wasing’s Yoga Pavilion and the beautiful Wild Swim lake & sauna.

Disclaimer:

Our priority is to hold a nurturing and safe container for both participants and facilitators. My approach to breathwork is slow and gentle and Breathing Tree’s policy is that although certain advanced and dynamic breathing techniques can have powerful outcomes they must be held safely and responsibly and that contraindications be made clear.

Somatic Breathwork is a powerful healing technique and although usually a deeply relaxing and profound process, it can result in certain specific physiological changes in the body and physical and emotional release.

Please be aware that sessions can cause and are not limited to:

• Tingling
• Light headedness
• Tetany
• Physical sensations
• Emotional release
• Experience of energy/vibrations moving through the body
• Memory recall

As a precaution, the following conditions are contraindicated for anyone thinking of practicing Somatic Breathwork. (For asthma we will adjust your breathing position so it is more beneficial) :

• Pregnancy first trimester
• Detached Retina or Glaucoma
• High Blood Pressure (not controlled with medication)
• Cardiovascular disease including angina, previous heart attack or stroke.
• Diagnosis of aneurysm in the brain or abdomen
• Respiratory Issues / Asthma
• Epilepsy / Seizures
• Prior diagnosis of bipolar disorder, personality disorder, schizophrenia or previous mental health condition.
• Hospitalisation for any psychiatric condition or emotional crisis within the last 10 years.
• Any recent operations or injury

It is essential that you consult Rebecca and/or your doctor, psychotherapist, or psychiatrist before engaging in Somatic Breathwork practice if you are unsure if it is a suitable practice for you. Please contact Rebecca with regards to any of the above to discuss before joining any sessions. rebecca@breathingtree.co.uk
