About me
Hi, I'm Andrea, a qualified breathwork and somatic coach
I work with busy people who are juggling work, home, family, caring responsibilities, and a never‑ending to‑do list. From the outside, you look like you’re holding it together. On the inside, it can feel like you’re always one step away from snapping, crashing, or burning out.
I know that feeling, because I’ve lived it.
For over 30 years, I worked as a coach in a large corporate environment. I built my business while holding down a demanding day job, racing from one responsibility to the next, and trying to stay on top of everything and everyone.
I was “coping” but barely.Â
The Turning Point
Â
My body started to tell the truth before I was willing to.
Stress showed up as exhaustion, tension, migraines and a constant feeling of being “on.”
To keep going, something had to change.
I began learning how to regulate my nervous system and release stress before it turned into burnout or breakdown. That’s when I discovered breathwork and somatic practices.
These tools changed everything.
By weaving simple practices into my ordinary days, I didn’t just feel a bit calmer. My whole capacity shifted. I:
- Stopped snapping and saying things I regretted
- Stepped out of constant overthinking
- Crashed less and recovered faster
- Slept better and woke with more energy
- Made clearer, more grounded decisions
- Stopped living in fear of the “next meltdown”

My Family & Things I Love
I live on the south coast of the UK with my wife, our four cats, and our dog. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll probably find me sea swimming, playing my acoustic guitar, or enjoying a pint of real ale at a favourite local pub.
