Breathgal Avis 

New experience for me. Mel was oozing passion for her practice, very interesting and informative welcome and explanation. Beautiful setting. Mel supported us throughout the session

I attended a breathwork workshop where we heard about how our breath can affect our body and health, and then did a half an hour breathwork session. It was really relaxing and interesting, and afterwards, although I felt very tired, meaning that my body was reacting to the work, I have subsequently felt the benefit mostly by being very calm. Also, my chest feels much more open and I am more aware of how important it is to breath better.

My 1:2:1 breathwork session with Mel exceeded all my expectations. Mel made me feel completely comfortable & at ease. Her intuition is perfectly on point & I managed to release exactly what my body needed. It was pure bliss & since our session I have felt so much lighter & calmer. I couldn't recommend Mel highly enough to guide you through a breathwork session. I will definitely be booking again. Thank you Mel, you've helped me feel alive for the first time in a while.

Had an initial face-to-face assessment, then zoom sessions. Mel has been very helpful and informative - good at explaining what she is recommending me to do.

I too part in a Breath work session with Mel on a retreat and I really enjoyed it and I was intrigued to learn more so booked a one to one session which was so valuable. I really enjoyed the session and look forward to booking the next one.

My first ever breathwork session and I had no idea what to expect. Wow! Everyone should experience this.

Mel is brilliant - guiding you through. I joined as part of an online group and I felt that Mel was attentive to each of us individually watching our breathing, giving hints and tips, encouraging us.

Mel comes across as extremely knowledgeable, caring, passionate and positive. It makes for a brilliant experience.

And afterwards, I felt amazing - positive and like a weight had been lifted. I have not stopped recommending Mel to all my friends since my session! Do it!

I was invited to join an introductory breathwork session with Mel via some friends during our third lock down. It was something I had become interested in after hearing Fearn Cotton interview Rebecca Dennis and extolling the benefits of breathwork. I was so excited and intrigued to be joining Mel's taster session. It didn't disappoint and just peaked my interest further. As a result i have joined the group sessions via Zoom for conscious connected breathing and feel that I am learning such an invaluable skill.
I cannot say enough things in Mel's favour; She is professional, kind, intuitive and has a brilliant sense of humour.
On my first session I had to provide a full medical history. I have severe Obstructive Sleep Apnoea along with some other health conditions. Through Mel's gentle and patient guidance and teaching I am learning to understand the importance of breathwork for my physical health as well and my mental well being since losing my partner 18 months ago. She took the time to explain the importance of my position during the zoom sessions for safety due to the severity of my OSA. I like the fact that she is careful not to make the Zoom groups too big so that she can take time to monitor each person and to provide some individual tuition as she checks on everyone.
My next hope is to do 1-2-1 zoom sesssions so that I can learn more!
If you are someone who suffers from mental or physical issues and you would like to learn a new, healthy way of coping or you just want to enhance your life and well being then I suggest booking an appointment with Mel.
I look forward to these breathwork classes so much and how incredibly rested I feel after!!!

If you're contemplating trying a breath coaching workshop with Mel then I highly recommend you go for it. It's really hard to describe the session in words, it's something that has to be experienced. Mel is the perfect coach, she makes you feel relaxed and comfortable and is a true professional with so much knowledge about the benefits of breath work. I felt great after this session, I felt like it had removed the tension and stress I had built up and refreshed my body and mind. I was so surprised what physical reactions I had to simply breathing in a specific way, there's no doubt in my mind this did me a lot of good and will you too. Looking forward to more sessions, thanks again Mel! X

Mel is obviously really knowledgeable about her subject and absolutely walks the walk. It was the first time I'd taken time out from daily life to really focus on myself and pay attention to the most fundamental of activities - breathing. We should all be paying more attention to this.

It's so important to make sure we are all giving ourselves some selfcare and nurture right now. I had the most blissful breathwork session with Mel, which really helped with my anxiety during lockdown. I felt looked after, safe and supported during our online session. I highly recommended a soothing and transformational breathwork session with Mel. Thank you so much, it really helped get me out of my head and feeling more connected :) Katie x

In a world that has changed and reaching out to some well-being is so important in times like this. I attended a session and I was moved by the experience. I recently lost my Mum and I was taken back by the ability to release some difficult emotions through breathing and Mel experienced practitioner. Her pre and after care made me feel looked after. I will definitely be making time for this again.

Mel was completely professional, kind and felt very safe to work with. She introduced me to a whole host of exercises to help with different occasions eg needing more energy, needing to relax, what to do when anxious. Afterwards I received an email with pointers to help me continue the benefits myself afterwards. Couldn't recommend more highly.

Mel is a very skilled breath coach with great intuition and I felt very safe in her presence. The Zoom session was incredible. I cried, laughed, had some incredible insights and she guided me through a very deep relaxation at the end. It was the best hour of lockdown..if not my life! Thank you so much! Highly recommend for everyone to try this breathwork.

Brilliant advice, tips and exercises to use my breath better. Highly recommended!

This was a truly magical experience, the work Mel does was life changing. I can not wait to book my next session, highly recommend her. Thank you

I had a wonderful session with Mel. I have a real problem letting go, and Mel had so many different, gentle ways to help me on my journey. You feel very held and safe in her presence.

My session with Mel was great. She put me at ease immediately and straight away recognised what was going on with my breathing. After the session she gave me some really helpful tips to practice on my own. I'll definitely be looking into further sessions and workshops with her.

I found the session really useful to gain some insight about how to regulate my breathing and it helped to bring up emotions that gave me some relief from anxiety. I aim to book another session so that I can move forward, the 'Inspirational Breathing' site that was recommended has also been a useful tool to tap into on a daily basis.

I received both face-to-face and online breath sessions with Mel and I have to say they both blew me away.
What i had experienced with Mel the first time around face-to-face : the sense of safety and being held, her kindness and full presence totally carried on through zoom. I had positive results out of all the sessions I did with her : physical, emotional and mental, so all in all an encompassing win! I would recommend Mel without a doubt.
