MORNING RESET 🫁☀️

A little activated Breathwork to wake up the body, sharpen your focus and shift your energy.

In this practice, I’m breathing in and out through the mouth, with intentional breath holds. This style of breathing can temporarily increase physiological arousal — giving the body a controlled stress stimulus that challenges your system and then invites it to return towards regulation.

Breath holds and changes in breathing can influence CO₂ levels, heart rate, blood flow and autonomic nervous system activity, while breathwork more broadly has been associated with changes in stress, mood and cognitive performance.

Think of it as practice for your nervous system:
✨ Activate
✨ Challenge
✨ Regulate
✨ Recover

A note on mouth breathing: mouth breathing is typically used in a controlled and purpose-driven way to stimulate and regulate the body’s stress response. It can be used intentionally as part of an activated practice. There are country indications to mouth breathing if you are pregnant, have heart or respiratory issues or prone to seizures or on heavy psychotic medications.. this is where you would modify and choose a nasal breathing technique.

For calming and regulating practices, slow nasal breathing — often with a longer, gentle exhale — is generally the better choice. Nasal breathing supports slower, more controlled respiration and can increase parasympathetic activity, including pathways associated with vagal regulation.

So your breath can be a tool for both activation AND regulation — the key is knowing when to use which one. 🧠🫁

✨ This is where the magic happens ✨

Holixir in Balgowlah is more than a women’s movement studio — upstairs, you’ll find a beautiful collective of practitioners offering physiotherapy, massage, psychology, movement and wellness services to men & women, all under one roof.

Here, I offer 1:1 coaching, energy healing & Reiki, 9DBreathwork & Sound, creating personalised sessions to help you understand what’s keeping you stuck and support meaningful change.

Our brains and nervous systems are constantly adapting — and with awareness, the right tools and support, we can create new patterns, shift old beliefs and respond differently. 🧠✨

"How the f**k is this MF still going?” 😂.....She learned how to rise. 🔥

Honestly… when I look back at my past — the chaos, the self-sabotage, the escaping, the inner storms I had to confront — sometimes I wonder too.

Then I found healing work. Breathwork. Coaching.
And in amongst all of this my personal growth journey and my studies I had some f@&$kng hard years of facing the truth.

My beliefs.
My patterns.
My shadow self.

The parts of me that wanted to take me down…
and the parts that desperately wanted me to rise and shine bright.

And here’s what I’ve learnt:

There is no finish line.
No perfect version of you.
No point where you’ve “made it.”...it's endless.

There’s just life.
Experience.
Lessons.
Growth.
Falling. Getting back up.
Rising again.

So yeah…

This MF is still going. 😂🔥

And I’m not planning on stopping anytime soon.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU BREATHE, HOLD & RELEASE? 🫁✨

This simple but powerful technique combines activated breathing with a breath hold to create a controlled physiological stressor known as intermittent hypoxia.

🌬️ Double inhale through the nose
💨 Exhale through the mouth
🔁 Repeat for 10–30 breaths
🫁 Hold the breath
🔄 Release & return to natural breathing

This can create a powerful shift in your state — influencing the autonomic nervous system and stimulating the release of feel-good neurochemicals including dopamine and endorphins, while creating a heightened sense of awareness and connection.

🔥 You’re not escaping stress — you’re teaching your body how to experience it, meet it and come back to regulation.

Breathe. Hold. Release. Reset.

Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. Andrew Huberman has shared some super interesting research around the relationship between breath, the nervous system and physiological state.

✔️ Practise breath holds safely. Never practise alone in or near water, while driving, or anywhere fainting could cause harm. Water-based breath-hold practices should only be undertaken with appropriate training, supervision and safety protocols.
