We’ll explore how pranayama aids in stress management and activates the healing power of the vagus nerve, supporting relaxation and resilience. You’ll be introduced to transformative practices, including Coherence Breathing, Nadi Shodana (alternate nostril breathing), and Ujjayi (victorious breath), which help bring balance and vitality to the mind and body. Discover how focused attention during pranayama can enliven your health and cultivate inner calm.

This consultation gives us time to see if we are a good fit for each other and to establish what exactly it is you are looking for from coaching.    In our discussions, I  run through the services I offer. You may wish to be coached towards discovering your soul purpose and find meaning in your life releasing self limiting beliefs. You may have specific health and wellness goals such as feeling more in control and less stressed. You may be feeling unhappy with life at the moment and wish to improve your emotional well-being but are not sure how to go about making yourself feel happier. Perhaps you would like to put in place some nourishing self care practices you can incorporate into your existing busy life.  Maybe your sleep schedule or nutrition is off key and weight gain or lethargy is an issue and you need to get back on track. How about establishing a yoga practice or learning to find inner peace with some meditation.  Whatever it is, we can co-create a plan of your needs and look at what will be beneficial to you in the context of your existing lifestyle and commitments, likes and dislikes, intentions and goals and timescale and resources which are available to you. You will take a couple of assessments. One to determine your innate mind-body composition and another to understand your current state of health which will flag up any imbalances you are currently experiencing. In follow up sessions we go deeper through the results, looking specifically at using coaching tools, Ayurvedic lifestyle practices and yoga practices relevant to you to help you move towards optimal health and happiness. Please note: If you decide to use my services the consultation it will be included in the 10-11 week coaching service. Please note: If you choose not to have me as your coach (or I decide you may be best served by a different type of coach, depending upon your needs), I will refund you 50% so you will only be paying for the Ayurvedic mind-body composition component of the consultation.
