If you've sensed that breath matters more than you were taught, you're right.
Welcome.
If you work with people — as a yoga teacher, therapist, physiotherapist, massage therapist, psychologist, or analyst — you've probably sensed that breath is more central to your work than your training suggested. You may have noticed that telling someone to breathe deeply can make things worse. That teaching a new breathing pattern doesn't always stick. That something else is going on.
I've sat with that same bewilderment. It took years of study, practice, and a lot of wrong turns to find a framework that actually made sense of it.
This is where my work with professionals begins.
where to start
Breathing Fundamentals
available now · 1 hour · pre-recorded
A standalone introduction to dysfunctional breathing through three lenses — biomechanics, biochemistry, and psychophysiology. Why breathing goes wrong, what's actually happening, and why the simple fixes often fall short.
A good place to start, whatever your background.

Better Breathing for Trauma
webinar series · 4 weeks · with Laura Beth Wenger
Offered periodically with my colleague Laura Beth Wenger — therapist, movement practitioner, and co-developer of the Murmuration Model of Adaptive Behaviours, the framework that underlies this work.
This series explores the deep relationship between breath and trauma — why breathing patterns become stuck, how they're held in the whole system, and how to work with them through multiple points of entry.
For yoga teachers, therapists, and anyone working at the intersection of body and psyche.

Reading the Breath
webinar series · 4 weeks · with Declan Clark
Offered periodically with my husband Declan Clark — breathing expert and massage therapist — this series is aimed at therapists of all kinds who want to learn how to read what the breath is telling them.

Yoga Teacher Training
available for in-person and online programs
I teach in yoga teacher training programs on the intersection of functional breathing, pranayama, and trauma — bringing together traditional yogic understanding of breath with modern research and a trauma-informed lens.
If you're a program director looking to deepen your curriculum in this area, I'd love to talk.
