About Me
Welcome to Native Breath
our goal is to live and breathe as nature intended; to tune into the healing power within and be in harmony: body, mind and soul.
My name is Miriam and my life’s mission has always held a passion for empowering women to live their full potential. With over 15 years experience in mentorship, spiritual direction, pastoral care and international work with vulnerable women and children, I have gained a rich and vast experience with women from all walks of life during my time of living and working globally.
My discovery of breathwork was during a time when life’s circumstances led me to burn-out and battles with chronic, often debilitating health problems. As I’m sure many of you can relate to, I ended up trying various healing modalities and approaches over the years, some of which were helpful and others just expensive and exhausting.
About to give up hope and surrender to a life of mediocre and unpredictable health, I was introduced to the healing power of breath-work and decided to set aside any preconceived ideas and give it a fair trial.
After a while of working with a breath coach, I couldn’t believe the difference I was experiencing and kept thinking ‘it must be something else’. I wondered: ‘how can something as simple as breathing be so powerful?’ I was surprised to learn that I’d been breathing dysfunctionally my whole life; developing holding patterns that created a knock-on effect on my sleep; gut; brain; hormones; mood; energy and focus. With consistent practice over just a number of weeks, I felt such a shift! After years of struggle, a clear and focused mind emerged; my sleep was improving; my gut was finally relenting it’s life-long torture assignment; my skin was glowing; my hormones regulating and my energy growing!
I soon began to crave the inner peace and sense of empowerment that I experienced when taking control and harnessing my breath, even if I could only grab 10 minutes a couple of times a day.
Such a gift I wish I had discovered and understood earlier in life; something so fundamental yet so simple; a great power that lies within us; one that so many of us forget; suppress; quench or hold back. Our Breath; a powerful yet gentle healing force from within.
Thinking of all the women I’ve worked with before and how foundational this practise could have been in their healing journey inspired and challenged me to get qualified as an Advanced Breathwork Instructor with Oxygen Advantage so I could share this transformative work as the foundation of enduring health with as many women as I can.
My joy as a breath coach is to walk with you, providing a safe space as you take this remarkable journey back to your best self. Together, we can re-learn to Breathe our way to health.
I look forward to working with you,
