Breathwork Facilitation
I resource professionals who wish to harness the biological mechanics of conscious and effective change through body and breath based practices within an individual and cultural context.
I support artists in theatre, HETV between projects. I educate bodywork practitioners and industry professionals on the four perinatal matrices that shape our relationship to reality.
My work weaves together integral networks from holotropic to rebirthing and creates a tangible bed and context for practitioners to work on form, theory and practice. All of this work is rooted in clarity, consent, autonomy and liberation. This work makes waves at festivals, universities and events nationwide and I deliver experiential practices that resource artists in 1-1 recalibration and re-centring between projects.
My work is accredited by AOB 400hr Breathwork facilitation and supported by training in Intimacy Co-ordination for HETV and Film with Safe Sets International. It’s informed by trade union activism, advocacy and woven together with 15 year career as a performing artist, a 1st (BA) hons from Rose Bruford and roots in indigenous cultural practices.
“…our 400hr Breathwork Facilitator training programme is rigorous and demands a quality of consistent introspection, authenticity and ‘hands on’ training. Mary’s shown a spark of initiative that is exceptional, not without eagerness to receive guidance and the considerable ability to challenge and inspire a group into new ways of thinking and being… Mary initiated memorable ceremonies and events for the community at ASHA, Italy, 2022. The blend of art and consciousness is a delicate one and Mary's deftness appears to enjoy being in balance with her gravitas, I feel that the legacy and the integrity of Alchemy is safe in her care.”

“it’s been my privilege to share several breathwork experiences with mary. I can honestly say she is truly gifted. her voice transports you deeply inward, her soundscapes are a journey.

“a first time experience for me and by the end of the process a lot more inside of me made sense.
it really was the perfect space. it cultivated a very free feeling from within me. the language of light that came from you has stayed with me, i'm not sure how to describe it but you spoke to me so clearly in those moments!
i still feel that words are slightly lost or too inadequate to express what i have begun to process but i can say that it is all incredibly positive“

“my experience facilitated by Mary included several online group sessions followed by an online 1:1 series of five sessions. four of those in that series were breathwork and one was a deeper dive discussion into what was surfacing for me.
i am an older person who has been exposed to many different forms of spiritual and self development over the years, both personally as well as in my career as a therapist. i've also been exposed to different forms of intervention using the breath and am currently training as a breathwork facilitator. having said all that i'm not easily impressed lol and mary has made a HUGE positive impression. to say she is authentic, intuitive and unique is an understatement.
mary provided an amazing container through expert inquiry and attunement, with a focus on well articulated embodied experience. Her additional weaving in of well understood mythological, seasonal and astrological influences brought more depth and the experience of being completely accurately seen. the use of astrology specifically was like having a chart done but in a more personal and thought provoking way that brought the breathwork facilitation to the next level.
as the work in the series i did progressed Mary would use what arose in a session to organically and expertly inform the process for the session that followed. this made the session series a coherent journey that was extremely productive.
i would highly endorse Mary to anyone wanting to take their self-development journey deeper. due to Mary's expert attunement and breadth of focus i would equally endorse her for those just starting out or perhaps just new to breathwork.
