Hi, I'm Nikki.

- Certified BioDynamic Breathwork Facilitator & Reiki Practitioner in Geelong & Online

Evidence-Informed Breathing Educator & Practitioner

I help people understand their breathing and develop practical skills that support everyday wellbeing, stress regulation, recovery and performance.

I'm based in Geelong and work with people in person and online.

Why breathing?

We breathe thousands of times every day, yet most of us were never taught anything about how we breathe.

I became fascinated by the relationship between breathing, the body and how we experience everyday life.

What started as a personal interest became a professional path.

Today, I combine breathing education, Functional Breathing and breathwork to help people develop a better understanding of something they already carry with them every moment of the day.

My approach

I believe breathing education should be:

Practical

Something you can actually use in your real life.

Evidence-informed

Grounded in current breathing science and ongoing professional education.

Individual

Because there isn't one breathing pattern or technique that suits everyone.

Choice-led

You remain in control of your experience.

Trauma-aware

I pay attention to safety, capacity and individual responses rather than pushing people towards a particular experience

My training

I have completed more than 650 hours of professional education across breathwork, Functional Breathing and breathing science.

Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System®

Professional Member

I also have a background in yoga and pranayama, Pilates and movement, along with ongoing professional development across breathing science and related areas.

Who I work with

No previous breathwork experience is necessary.

A little more about me

Before The Guided Breath, my professional life took me through education, business and other fields.

I've always been interested in learning, understanding how things work and helping people make sense of complicated information.

That's still a big part of how I teach breathing today.

I don't want you to simply copy a technique because someone told you it works.

I want you to understand what you're doing and why.

My commitment to safety

Breathing practices can affect people differently.

Before working together, we'll consider your goals, relevant health information and whether the practices we're discussing are appropriate for you.

You can pause or stop a practice at any time.

Breathwork is a complementary wellbeing practice and does not replace medical or psychological care.

If you're unsure whether a particular practice is appropriate for you, please contact me before booking.
