Polly lives and breathes breathwork as a tool to elevate all aspects of our precious lives. From surfacing and integrating trauma, relieving and managing anxiety, working with addiction, PTSD, OCD and treatment-resistant depression, to offering us insights into our subconscious and the numinous, breathwork does it all. One of only 400 people selected globally to be trained by Dr Brené Brown in her Dare to Lead certified program facilitation, Polly delivers leadership and therapeutic coaching that combines breathwork, counselling and coaching, recognising that what holds us back are our unconscious beliefs that we can’t, rather than the truth of our own magnificence. Polly's experience with their own therapy journey has been that while talking therapy is effective to a degree where conscious trauma is known, the body definitely keeps the score. It is here that somatic therapies such as breathwork allow clients to simply breathe in a safe, held and guided experience and allow their nervous systems to discharge stored trauma residues from unconscious, natal and pre-natal trauma. Polly believes everyone benefits from a regular breathwork practice. It is a proven method of getting your body and mind in optimal condition, which is available as long as you can breathe. The somatic or of the body elements mean that you are able to simply breathe to release trauma without having to know explicitly what you are releasing, which is perfect when you just know you want change, but don’t know how. The real beauty of breathwork is how it reminds you that you already have all you need within, all you have to do is breathe. Polly is trained and certified by Alchemy of Breath as a facilitator, training that is globally accredited by the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance, The American Association of Drugless Practitioners and the International Breathwork Foundation. Polly also has a PhD in Gender Studies focussing on narratives around gender, narrative and identity and is completing a Masters in Counselling, focussing on trauma. Located in the stunning Derwent Valley in Tasmania, Polly provides breathwork sessions online and in person. Polly looks forward to guiding you to surrender to your breath and experience the transformative power of breathwork for yourself. Read more
