“The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung
Engage in nourishing, thoughtfully chosen practices for reflection and renewal, like conscious breathwork, somatic inquiry, guided writing exercises and uplifting creative activities (just for the pure joy), in a supportive container with other kind souls. From a qualified somatic practitioner and breathwork facilitator.
How often do you allow yourself to prioritise you? Listen to your inner calling and take this opportunity to be guided in coming into stillness and feeling joy. Make space for more contentment, while safely meeting whatever arises along the way. Allow your nervous system to settle and soften and rediscover your spark, away from the chaos of everyday life. In a beautiful grade II listed building, inside award-winning gardens.
Perhaps you'd like to reconnect with what lights you up inside and brings you a sense of passion or purpose. Maybe you need a safe space to let go of what you no longer need, and be held in processing long-held emotions. In this supportive container, you can release mental clutter and be fully present to wants to be felt within you. No expectations to be anything other than your most authentic self, showing up just as you are.
Find deep self-acceptance, inner compassion and new inspiration by tuning out all the noise. Be supported to meet emotional wounds, unmet needs and stuckness in the body. From a trauma-informed, internationally-trained space holder who continues to do the inner work herself, bringing her own experiences of navigating ADHD, past anxiety disorders and loss.
Be with yourself in all your humanness, taking a softer approach to finding your inner potential, loving yourself more and living life intentionally.
Feedback from previous retreat days include:
⭐ “Beauty, community, peace. Words I chose, reflecting at the end of a wonderfully restful, introspective and creative Permission to Pause mini-retreat, beautifully and thoughtfully conceived and led by Becky. A journey of insight through meditations, breathwork, small group discussions, reflection and self-expression through journaling, drawing and movement. A variety of lovely people, sharing the experience and some thoughts within the perfect sanctuary setting of Didsbury Parsonage. I left feeling much better about myself, people and the world.”
⭐ “A beautiful fulfilling afternoon of calmness & tranquility in a delightful soothing setting. A truly beautiful sequence of nurturing activities delivered with understanding, authenticity & clarity. Emotions came up for me in the space. Becky showed me kind recognition of my feelings & compassion. A beautiful experience at The Parsonage I hope to repeat.”
⭐ “It was a great experience and one I felt I really needed...I have had a lot of upset around me and my experience was very profound. The clarity it has given me has been reassuring so I thank you.”

See activity details below.
Group activities will include:
🧘 Conscious connected breathwork
A powerful, therapeutic practice to help you get better at feeling (it's not about 'feeling better' through emotional bypassing, but lovingly meeting what may have been suppressed), release stress and anxiety, and access your rest and repair state
✍ Guided writing practices to access your subconscious mind
Reflecting on our limiting beliefs and places of stuckness with intention, self-compassion and conscious surrender. Unravel repetitive thoughts and let go of overthinking, to get clear on your inner wisdom and deeper desires
🎨 Creative play through a relaxed art activity, for the pure joy and fun (no skill needed)
Creative expression has been shown to reduce stress, improve mental health and help us access our thoughts and emotions. Reconnect with your innate creativity and free your imagination, giving the thinking mind a break from figuring out answers
🫀 Somatic inquiry practices
Connect with your body and emotions, listening to what wants to be processed and unravelled with compassion. Gain new clarity by attuning to the body and releasing mental overwhelm, learning the tools for addressing stuck emotions and points of physical tension
🌳 Mindful nature walk (short; 10-15 mins)
Be led in a group as you silently connect with the natural world in all its glory. Invite deep presence to how your body feels as you move intentionally and observe beauty, noticing your senses come alive.

About me:
I am fully qualified as a somatic practitioner and breathwork facilitator. I carried out training in the UK, Mexico, Spain and Canada, holding space for and supporting participants from around the world. I now love bringing this work to local communities, creating reassuring, uplifting and relaxing spaces for healing and expansion. I'm also committed to developing my training, and continuing my own personal growth so I can truly embody my practices and teachings.
Personally, I have found breathwork incredibly powerful for managing ADHD, generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) and some difficult life events. It has been pivotal in my emotional wellbeing and physical health, and is now an essential practice for looking after my mind, body and soul.
As well as Manchester breathwork classes and events further afield, I also offer 1:1 somatic therapy sessions.
