Breathe · The Signature Journey

Beyond the breath, a journey within.

Somatic Release Breathwork, in person in London or online.

Sometimes we carry emotions, fears and familiar patterns without fully understanding where they began.

We may notice ourselves reacting to situations in ways that feel disproportionate, holding back when we want to move forward, or repeating behaviours that no longer serve us.

Our experiences shape how we respond to the world. Some of those responses may have developed long before we were consciously aware of them.

Somatic Release Breathwork offers an opportunity to slow down, turn inward and explore what may be happening beneath the surface. Through conscious connected breathing, carefully selected music and compassionate guidance, you are invited to become more aware of your body, your emotions and the stories you carry.

For some people, the experience can feel deeply emotional. Others describe a sense of spaciousness, clarity, connection or renewed perspective.

There is no particular response you need to achieve.

The Signature Journey

The three movements

I · Arrive

The Cacao Ceremony

A gentle beginning, creating space for intention, connection and presence.

II · Go Within

Somatic Release Breathwork

A guided exploration through conscious breathing, music and awareness.

III · Land

Meditation & Integration

Time to settle, reflect and reconnect with what feels meaningful.

Each journey is personal. Each experience is different.

And sometimes, what begins with a single breath becomes the beginning of a different relationship with yourself.

For one · at least 2 hours

Individual Signature Journey

In a private journey, nothing is generic. We talk first about what's alive for you, and I shape the breath, the music and the meditation around it. If you've never done breathwork before, this is the gentlest way to begin.

Over time

Three Individual Journeys

Breathwork often shows more when you return to it. Three private journeys, booked whenever suits you, with no programme and nothing to complete.

Private in-person experiences in London, subject to location and availability. Online sessions available wherever you are. Travel charges, if any, are always agreed before you book. You'll receive clear pricing before making any booking.

The Couples Signature Journey

Not two sessions in one room.

You share the cacao and speak your intentions to each other. You sit face to face and take turns listening, without interrupting, advising or trying to fix: simply hearing each other. Then you breathe together, side by side, each on your own journey but held in the same rhythm, and we close with a meditation for both of you.

It's designed for romantic partners, and equally open to sisters, close friends, or a parent and adult child. It isn't couples therapy and doesn't promise to repair a relationship. What it offers is time and presence. A cacao-free alternative can be arranged.

Online · Wherever You Are

Online Breathwork

Somatic Release Breathwork from your own home, for one or for two. Ninety minutes, with no rush at the beginning or the end.

We meet on Zoom and begin with a real conversation: how you are, what's brought you here, and the intention you'd like to hold. Then I guide you through Somatic Release Breathwork while you lie comfortably at home, with music carrying the journey and short, optional breath holds. As the breath settles, a meditation helps you rest and come back gently, and we finish with grounding and time to talk about anything you noticed.

Online sessions don't include the cacao ceremony; the full ceremony stays an in-person experience.

“Emilia held the space during the session and I felt safe throughout.”Zoe
“With her support I learned a lot about myself.”Zoe
“The sessions supported me in letting go of things that no longer serve me and providing the space to grow.”Zoe

Zoe’s Story · A Personal Experience

Kind Words

Words from the Heart

Every journey is personal. These are a few reflections shared by people who have experienced my work.

From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a space of deep connection and intention. Emilia holds the ceremony with such care, guiding the group through breathwork in a way that allows you to truly let go and explore within. … I left feeling lighter, more aligned, and with a renewed sense of presence.

Jamie HardingCacao breathwork ceremony · groupShared on Instagram

Emilia’s warmth, love, and energy create a safe and secure environment … The atmosphere she cultivates allows you to truly open up and explore your inner self. … I highly recommend working with her, and I will definitely be returning for more sessions!

Preparing for your journey

  • Eat lightly, ideally two to three hours before.
  • Avoid alcohol for 24 hours, and keep caffeine low that day; cacao is naturally stimulating.
  • Wear soft, comfortable clothes; have water and a notebook nearby.
  • Leave yourself a quiet evening afterwards.
  • Online: a quiet, private room with space to lie down, a charged device and a steady connection.
  • Online: we confirm your address and an emergency contact at the start; if the call drops, return to normal breathing and I'll reconnect or phone you.

Good to know

What might I experience?

Every journey is different, and some people experience very little. That's equally welcome, and no particular response is needed or expected.

Breathing more fully than usual changes the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your blood. This can bring temporary sensations such as tingling, light-headedness, warmth or coolness, yawning, or a tightening in the hands. These are ordinary physical responses to the breath, and they ease when you slow down or return to normal breathing.

Some people feel emotions rise and pass, find themselves crying or laughing, or describe a sense of calm, clarity or connection. None of these is a sign of doing it right, and none is required.

You stay aware and in charge throughout. You can slow down, open your eyes, sit up, return to normal breathing or stop at any moment, and I'll support you.

Screening, consent and safety

Conscious connected breathwork is a powerful practice and isn't right for everyone. Before I confirm any booking, in person or online, I'll send you a short private health questionnaire and a consent form. They're sent and kept privately, never through this website. If breathwork isn't right for you at the moment, I may suggest a gentler practice or advise you not to book.

Please speak to your doctor before booking if you are pregnant, or have epilepsy or a history of seizures, a heart condition, high or low blood pressure, a history of stroke or aneurysm, glaucoma or retinal detachment, asthma, recent surgery or injury, or a mental health condition such as psychosis, bipolar disorder, severe anxiety or panic attacks. Ceremonial cacao contains natural stimulants and isn't recommended with certain antidepressants (SSRIs or MAOIs), heart conditions or pregnancy.

My breathwork sessions are a wellbeing and personal-growth practice. They are not medical or psychological treatment, they don't promise particular emotional, psychological or spiritual outcomes, and they are not a substitute for professional care.

Questions

Gently answered

Do I need any experience?

None at all. I'll explain everything before we begin, and you can go at whatever pace feels right.

What if I want to stop?

You can slow down, return to normal breathing, sit up or stop at any moment. We agree a simple signal before we begin.

Can I come if I'm on my period, or going through menopause?

Please tell me in the health questionnaire, along with anything else you'd like me to know. We'll talk it through and adapt the session to how you feel.

Where do in-person journeys take place?

Private in-person experiences in London, subject to location and availability. Online sessions available wherever you are.

How do I book, and what does it cost?

Send an enquiry and I'll reply personally with the details and price for the experience you're interested in, along with the health questionnaire and consent form. Nothing is booked or paid for until you're sure.

Ready when you are.
