Active Breathwork for Authentic Living
Many of us find ourselves living according to external expectations - career demands, family responsibilities, societal "shoulds" - while sensing something essential is missing. If you're questioning who you are beneath all your roles and wondering what you truly want, this work may resonate with you.
As a former neuroscientist turned breathwork specialist, I will guide you through your active breathwork journey, a scientifically-informed practice that creates transformative shifts in how you relate to yourself and make decisions in life.
This isn't general breathing exercises or relaxation techniques. It's dynamic, cathartic work for those ready to reconnect with their authentic selves and what truly matters to them.
What makes this different?
Active, not passive
Unlike meditation or slow breathing practices, active breathwork uses continuous, rhythmic breathing to create profound altered states of consciousness, that connects us to our truest, most authentic selves.
Science-backed approach
With a 10 year academic career in neuroscience, neurology and psychiatry, I have dedicated my time to understand both the science behind breathwork and the lived experience of using it to transform your life.
For those ready for deep change
This work attracts people who are questioning their life's direction - whether they're navigating career or other life transitions, returning to themselves after years of caregiving, or simply sensing there's more authentic expression waiting to emerge.

About Dr. Cathy Scanlon
From Neuroscience Lab to Breathwork Practice
After 8 years as an academic neuroscientist with a PhD, having worked at prestigious Universities around the world, I left my flourishing career to follow what my heart knew was true: that our bodies hold wisdom our analytical minds cannot access.
My journey from logic-driven decisions to intuition-led choices mirrors what many of my clients experience. Through active breathwork, I discovered how to access the intelligence held in my body and create a life aligned with my deepest values rather than external expectations.
I specialise in guiding people who, like me, have been living a life they 'should' be happy with, but sense there's something more authentic waiting to emerge.
Through personalised sessions that combine exploration and active breathwork, I help you access the wisdom your body holds and reconnect with your deepest truth.

You're seeking medical treatment for breathing disorders
You want quick stress relief or general wellness techniques
