July NewsletterThank you so much for opening this newsletter and taking a moment to connect. July has certainly been a busy month and an incredibly hot one! I held my first Breathwork and Cacao ceremony in a bell tent here in my garden. The group of 5 was perfect; it was a beautiful moment connecting with Mama Cacao, a plant medicine I had the pleasure of working with in Guatemala and studying with the Mayan women back in 2023. Holding space with this heart-opening medicine, as well as with Conscious, Connected Breathwork, meant it was a deep dive into what we want to let go of and what we want to bring in. Thank you to all who attended. I will be holding more of these; however, if you feel called to have a 1-1 cacao & breathwork ceremony, please get in touch with me.

Introduction to Conscious Connected BreathworkWe recently gathered at Chantry Studios in Bromley for an Introduction to Conscious Connected Breathwork. It was a beautiful, grounded session designed specifically for those stepping into this breathing style for the very first time. Together, we explored how life events, stress and emotional baggage affect our breathing patterns—combining simple neuroscience, nervous system education, and personal breath analysis to uncover physical restrictions, shallow breathing habits, and where we carry hidden emotional tension. A huge thank you to Kelly for co-facilitating alongside me, and to everyone who showed up with an open heart. Here is a little of what some of our attendees had to say: “I joined Nicole’s introduction to conscious connected breathwork session a few weeks ago, not knowing exactly what to expect. Nicole was very welcoming, informative, respectful, and inclusive in her approach. I will definitely be returning for another group session. Thank you.”
“From the moment I walked into the space, I felt the safety I have lacked over the years, which helped me fully embrace the journey... In a fast-paced world, these things are a rarity, and I am truly grateful. If you are looking to explore breathwork, I cannot recommend Nicole enough.”

An invitation for Introduction to Conscious Connected Breathwork for Women in Recovery. Finding peace in recovery. Sat 12th September, 1.30-3.30 pm, in Warrior Studio, Bromley South. Back in May, I had the deep privilege of holding a Women in Recovery Breathwork session. Supporting others on this path is profoundly personal to me—it’s where my own healing journey began 20 years ago. When we’ve spent years relying on substances or behaviours to shift how we feel, learning to sit with emotional, psychological, or physical pain in new ways can feel overwhelming. This is precisely where Conscious Connected Breathwork becomes such a powerful tool for lasting recovery. Why Breathwork in Recovery? Quiets the mind: It creates a gentle pause, allowing you to step out of the anxiety loop and into deep relaxation. Releases stored emotion: People in recovery often carry heavy burdens of grief and shame. Breathwork creates a safe space to gently process and integrate these feelings. (Honestly, this was a complete game-changer in my own journey.) Managing your Nervous System using the breath to come out of survival states such as fight, flight, freeze, and fawn responses. Supports bodily healing: It restores physical vitality by boosting digestion, cardiovascular health, lung function, sleep quality, and lymphatic drainage. Breathwork brings you back to clarity, grounding, and a true connection with who you are.

Book recommendationA fiction book this month! 📖 BOOK REVIEW: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke 🌾🪵 I am still processing this absolute powerhouse of a debut novel! Yesteryear introduces us to Natalie Heller Mills, a social media influencer living the ultimate, picture-perfect "trad-wife" lifestyle. She’s got it all: the idyllic farm, the cowboy husband, the beautiful children, and a flawless, highly curated feed. But everything shatters one morning when she wakes up and doesn't recognise her home, her family, or her life. Suddenly, Natalie is thrust into the gritty, brutal reality of what it was actually like to live in the 1800s. Is it a hoax? A test? Or something far worse? From there, the story becomes an intense, gripping, and deeply odd psychological ride. There is so much more to share about Natalie and all the characters, but I want to leave that for the reader. My Thoughts:I could not put this down, even though it’s a chunky book! Natalie is a spine-chilling, delusional, and often deeply unlikable protagonist. She is utterly obsessed with being "good" and liked, which makes her voice brilliant to read. Burke does a masterful job writing in Natalie’s perspective—you get to delve into every dark crevice, shadow, and fear, while simultaneously witnessing her callousness toward others. She is somehow both the villain and the victim of her own story. There is so much to unpack here: toxic masculinity, toxic femininity, mental health, faith, and religion. It’s addicting, highly entertaining, and honestly, pretty disturbing the more you think about it. What a phenomenal debut. 🤯
