Breathwork + Art

Guided practices and a held space to gently slow down, return to yourself, and reconnect with what truly matters.

A Space for You

You may be moving through a transition, feeling overloaded or stressed, or questioning what comes next. You may feel disconnected from your body, your voice or what you truly need.

Or perhaps you may simply want a space to pause, feel, express, and reconnect without pressure to perform, explain or improve yourself.

You do not need to arrive with a clear answer. You only need a willingness to notice what is here.

I will hold a thoughtful, grounded space for you.

Hi, I'm Sonia

An experienced trainer, coach, and mentor. I spent two decades in senior creative and communications roles with teams and communities around the world, in business and non-profit settings. 

Then came a period of deep burnout, one that made me question the pace, the expectations, and the ways of working that had shaped my life, and reevaluate how I saw myself and engaged with the world altogether. Breathwork and art became important practices of reconnection and a real force of transformation.

I now bring together my professional and life experience with my practice as an artist and my training in Art Psychotherapy and Community Art (Postgraduate Diploma, Metàfora). I’m also a certified breathwork coach, currently completing a trauma-informed breathwork facilitator certification with Breathing Space (GPBA-accredited).

My role is not to tell you what your experience means, but to offer a grounded space in which you can notice, explore and express it for yourself, on your own terms.

My Approach

Breathwork & Embodied Reflection

Guided conscious breathing exercises to slow down, regulate the nervous system and come back to the body. Gently creating space for what needs to be felt and noticed.

Art as a creative self-care practice

Art-based exercises, grounded in art therapy principles, to help surface what that may be asking for attention, to give shape to what is hard to say with words alone.

Integration

Time to close the practice with care, so that what has emerged and been sensed and expressed, can begin to find its place in your body, your inner life, and the way you move through the world.
