Just Breathe…
As part of my psychotherapy clinic, I ran a breathwork class once a fortnight for 10 years. A space to just breathe, unwind and truly relax. I have been asked by numerous couples to facilitate my Just Breathe… session with themselves or the entire wedding party either the day before or on the morning of the wedding.
Beginning with a breathwork session aimed at lowering blood pressure and stress hormones, I go on to lead you through progressive muscle relaxation before seamlessly taking you off to a beautiful relaxing place of your choosing. I will guide you in expanding your awareness and connecting to the nature all about you, before gently bringing you back to full awareness with a wonderful sense of harmony, balance and inner-calm.
This can be done as an add-on to your ceremony or, for those who simply want to relax with friends and/or family, as a stand-alone event. The session takes 90 minutes from beginning to end.

Hreinsan or Cleansing Ceremony
Prepare for your next chapter of life with this deeply spiritual ritual designed to wash away what has gone before and begin the next stage in your life cleansed and renewed.
Traditionally the hreinsan ceremony has been used for marriage with the water-based ritual symbolically preparing both bride and groom for their new lives together.
However, the cleansing ritual can also be for any other rites of passage or significant change you are facing in your life. Some examples include first menstration, the birth of a baby, menopause, a significant birthday, moving forward from divorce., or even preparing for the end of life.
The hreinsan draws deeply from its Norse origins although I am more than comfortable to draw from all nature-based beliefs in a ritual tailor-made for you. Each ceremony can last between two and four hours depending on what is being addressed.
