I was nervous about trying breathwork for the first time, but Yaku created a space where I felt completely safe. At one point, I felt like I was floating — deeply relaxed, free, and unexpectedly at peace.
One practice, met at the pace your nervous system can hold. Whether you begin in a group or one to one.
What I offer isn’t a set of tools or techniques —
it’s the capacity to meet you where you are, to read
what your system is actually doing and create the
conditions for it to move, at its own pace, without force.

Insight goes only so far. This is where the body’s work begins.
No script. No agenda. We start by tracking what’s already alive in the body: activation, numbness, breath, contraction. Whatever’s present leads the work.
Stories rise. We move slowly through them, stopping at the words your body responds to, where breath catches, where sensation lifts. Each pause is precise, not forced.
Every session is a cycle: safety, awareness, expression, integration. We return to ground. Breath settles. You leave with something felt, not something figured out.
a 12-week one-to-one path
A personalised programme that builds capacity from the ground up, system by system, until balance returns. Each layer makes the next available. The structure stays the same; the pace is yours.
Three threads weave through the arc. Breath Coaching steadies the everyday rhythm. Conscious Connected Breathwork reaches what sits below thought. Psychosomatic tools track what the body is holding, and create the conditions for it to move. They follow each other in the order your system asks for, not a fixed curriculum.
Insight alone doesn’t change how the body feels. Blocked emotions, repeated patterns, and old stories sit below thought, held in the body. This work meets them there and builds the capacity to let them move.
The mind isn’t a closed system. Anxiety, low mood, dysregulation: each carries a body signature, not just a thought. When the body is included, the mind finds room to settle.
Pathways aren’t fixed and calm isn’t a mood — it’s a chemical state. Cortisol and adrenaline give way to serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin as the system settles. New brain pathways form through what the body repeats.
The body isn’t a vehicle the mind carries around — it holds the shape of what you’ve lived through. Softening what’s held there is often where deeper work begins.
It registers everything first: safety, connection, threat, rest. Then thought arrives. When it’s dysregulated, thinking alone doesn’t reach it. The body learns safety through experience.
Each phase builds the ground the next stands on.
Across three layers, your system restores its natural rhythm — at the pace it can sustain.

Payment plans available.
30 minutes. No agenda, no pressure. We figure out together if this is the right work for you, right now.
If 12 weeks feels like a big door, start with one of these. Many people do.
Where the body holds what understanding alone can’t touch. A trauma-informed practice drawing on Conscious Connected Breathwork, Rebirthing, and Bioenergetics. The work builds your capacity to feel what’s held, until it has room to integrate.
Where the body’s story meets the room. One-to-one work that tracks what’s surfacing, meets it with breath and attention, and lets what was held find somewhere to move. The body sets the pace.
A way to feel the work before stepping into anything bigger. Group sessions across nervous system regulation, breath coaching, Conscious Connected Breathwork, and integration practices. Embodied, paced, and easy to drop into. Pick one that calls.
From people who have sat with this work.
I was nervous about trying breathwork for the first time, but Yaku created a space where I felt completely safe. At one point, I felt like I was floating — deeply relaxed, free, and unexpectedly at peace.
As someone who normally lives in logic and overthinking, this was the first time I truly felt connected to my body. The experience completely surpassed my expectations.

You don’t need to decide alone. The conversation is for figuring this out together, based on what you’re carrying, what you’ve tried, and what your nervous system seems to need. Often the right way in becomes clear within a few minutes of talking.
About 30 minutes, in person or online. No agenda and no script. We talk about where you are, what’s brought you here, and what feels possible. If it’s the right fit, we’ll discuss what to begin with. If not, you’ll leave with a clearer sense of what could help. No pressure either way.
Both. Sessions are held in person and online; the work translates well across both. What matters is the quality of presence in the room, not the room itself.
Therapy works mainly with thought, language, and meaning. This work goes lower: into the body, the breath, the nervous system, where words can’t always reach. The two are complementary, not in competition. Many people do both.
Often, yes. They tend to support each other rather than conflict. Some conditions or medications mean we’d start more gently or coordinate with your existing practitioner first. We talk this through on the call before anything deeper begins.
That’s the work, not a setback. The nervous system sets the pace. Slowing down, taking a break, or stepping out is part of how capacity gets built. You stay in control throughout.
A 30-minute conversation to understand where you are and which way in makes sense. No pressure, no commitment.
