Hiya Julie Ann,
it’s Fi Wczasek, I hope you are well, just a little feedback from your breathing workshop which I attended a few weeks ago, thank you, Julie Ann, it was an amazing experience, from the moment I first met you at the Bridestones with Janine I felt a connection with you, & knew that we would meet again, you have an amazing ability to put people at their ease & therefore feel relaxed in your presence which is essential for the breathing workshop.
What an amazing group of people that attended, all like-minded, recognising the need in ourselves, to re-learn how to breathe!
It was a very powerful experience, you are an amazing teacher and healer, Julie Ann, and I will treasure what you taught me always, I feel very privileged to have attended your workshop your work is essential to the well-being of us all, how wonderful it would be to teach your knowledge in our schools, it should be part of the national curriculum, after all, our children are the greatest resource our world has to offer. We should wisely invest in them.
With heartfelt thanks, Fiona Wczasek 2024

I have been doing Sovereignty Breathwork with Julie Ann for almost a year and continue as the process is changing me as a person, releasing trauma blockages, and bringing me closer to my sovereignty. I am so much better physically, mentally and spiritually from the experience.
I have engaged in a range of Julie Ann’s offerings and each has benefited me uniquely.
I have realised that breathing is the foundation stone of transformative healing and Julie Ann’s passion for her work is infectious. She brings far more than knowledge of breathing to sessions.
For me, the highlight of my work with Julie Ann was a three-day retreat at the end of last summer. She attracted beautiful people who remained in contact and supported each other. Every person brought their gifts to the circle and the transformational therapy/healing went far beyond the breathing experience.
A highlight was the food prepared and offered by Graham, Julie Ann’s partner. It exceeded my expectations and was truly exceptional, truly thank you both.

“I’ve honestly never been happier or clearer – every time I have a doubt creep in – not only about what I’m doing but even about ‘who I am and my integrity as a human being ‘ I take myself back into my mind to what I learnt on The breathwork Retreat at Shalom and it sets me right – I’m never going to let myself loose myself again!!!” Message sent to us at the end of her Retreat
I just wanted to share this with you guys – I’m the best I’ve ever been since the retreat – really working on understanding and believing in my ‘life path ‘ and already the universe is working with me (or rather I’m working with it instead of against it ?) towards the life I’m manifesting for myself – thank you all so much for helping me see myself differently – thank you Julie Ann and Dennis – I have never been happier or more at peace with myself and my purpose my whole adult life ??????

I always knew that I had some blockages, but not where or what they were. By total synchronicity I found Julie! I went for my 1st session knowing nothing about Breathwork or what to do or expect… I just trusted my gut that this is where I should be right now…and oh my gut was right. I have now had 4 1:1 sessions, and those blockages that were holding me rooted have been dissolved…
Rachael Thompson
I absolutely adore Julieann, she nourishes and nurtures my personal development … never too busy to offer support and she holds space beautifully while offering very practical advice. Yes, Julieann is a highly effective practitioner and an excellent teacher and I’m extremely grateful for my transformations thus far.
Thank you Julieann x x x

Firstly I would like to thank Dennis and Julie for sharing their knowledge and wisdom. And secondly all the inspiring and welcoming people on the course that made the weekend a journey I will never forget.
We were truly spoilt during the weekend with incredible sessions and food, I felt totally relaxed and inspired. Personally, I was open to this new experience for myself, but I really didn’t expect the weekend to be as powerful as it was.
I went places with my past and thoughts I never expected, I feel really different, in a good way. My thoughts and future are extremely clear to me and I feel a lot more at peace with my past.
I will definitely attend another retreat run by Dennis & and Julie Ann, I would 100% recommend attending this retreat. If you’re open to change and a new experience I’m sure you will get out of it what did.

Words only go some way to express what this experience did for me, so I will do my best to capture it.
Do not have any doubt about booking a breathwork retreat with these guys, if you are nervous, you will be in safe hands with Julie-Ann and Dennis.
The time and space to just ‘be’ and time to process was so valuable. The blend of activities is perfect. I arrived feeling rather lost, having had snatches of respite through life’s journey.
I left feeling grounded, excited, and with a set of tools that I have continued to use. This was a major ‘port’ on my life’s journey, one that has facilitated growth and one I will return to again for sure.
The food by Graham is fabulous too.
Transformational is indeed the word, have no doubt. Thank you too, Julie, Dennis and Graham for being such a lovely, safe, transformative haven.

“Thank you so much for yesterday’s workshop it was amazing, very informative and helped me to release a lot of Trauma. It helped me to learn some breathing techniques to release, stress and negative emotions. I feel so much calmer and relaxed”

Inga
I really enjoyed Julie Anne’s Breathwork Retreat – not only I have learnt how to properly breathe into the belly, but also with the help of the breathing technique and Julie Ann’s guidance, managed to bring up a couple of deep-seated traumas and started the healing process while sharing the aha moments with other beautiful souls that I connected with that weekend.
I enjoyed the lovely natural surroundings, log burner, and simple yet cosy atmosphere. I loved the breakfasts at the communal table, sitting in the sunshine and around the fire, chatting, doing the breathwork sessions outside in the sun, going to the forest and my mushroom-picking session
Thank you, Julie Anne, I need to continue with the practice!
Kind regards,
Inga 2022

I learned how to properly belly breathe without pushing out the exhale, I had a couple of aha moments with bringing up old traumas and facilitating healing one of them. I learned that I can connect to my body and subconscious mind more and get lessons and insights through breathing. I also realised that up to now, I did not fully accept or unconditionally love myself due to childhood trauma.
Yes, I would definitely recommend it to my friends and family members,

I attended Julie Anns Breath-work retreat last weekend and can’t praise it enough and would happily recommend it to all.
I’d met Julie Ann twice at a lovely festival in North Wales (Conscious Camp) in May and in September, at both of these events, I’d gone to her Group Breathwork Session and had a one-on-one at the last, at the first event I was interested in taking things further as a number of things she said touched my hot buttons!
I’d had the one-on-one as I’d been having chest pain and hypertension for a few months, my herbalist does some clever body scans and told me in 2020 that it seemed my heart had been damaged by a virus! since my previous visit, I had been very ill for a week in January 2020 Julie Ann said that the breathing practice that we did in the 1-1 had the potential to massage my heart with my diaphragm which made sense to me, so when I saw the retreat advertised I booked for it.
I’m so glad I did. I went in pain on Friday, and was pain-free on Saturday and Sunday and was until Tuesday (I must carry on at home now!)
I also learned that the breathing sessions at the retreat might bring up past traumas, must say I wasn’t expecting to and didn’t on Friday or Saturday but Oh my on Sunday stuff came up from my childhood that I’d put away in a little black box very deep inside that I’d not thought about for 60+years, which I was able to bring out and even share, this really surprised me, was so emotional but also so pleased it did.
Thank you Julie Ann for everything

I have had chronic fatigue syndrome for the last 14 year’s, my nervous system is so overactive that I get stuck in fight/flight/freeze mode. I have been practising Transformational Breath® under the guidance of Julie Ann for 4 months now and the difference is quite astounding. My stress and past trauma are reducing, while my self-worth, energy, resilience and control of my life has improved drastically in this time.
Julie Ann is intuitive, insightful, and compassionate and Transformational Breath® with her has been an integral part of my healing process, and I absolutely know that this work will continue to be a big part of my self-care throughout the rest of my life.
Thank you for today, as always, Nutritional Therapist June 2021

Wow, what an amazing session! I have known Julie Ann for a year or so following my breathwork training and I’m always blown away when she gives me a breathwork session. However, this last one really transformed me overnight! Having a 4-month-old baby left me mentally and physically exhausted and my emotions were all over the place. This was my first healing post-birth and I really felt like a new person afterwards. She intuitively knows which spots to press, and the exact healing you need. I felt her warm feminine touch supporting me throughout the session, which let me relax completely and focus on my breath. I am always touched by her total non-judgmental approach, allowing whatever comes up to come up, and giving space for it. She is such a kind, intuitive and hugely competent healer. It really was MAGICAL and I have gone back for more sessions.

I was surprised to have profound somatic responses to her breathwork facilitation. Physical responses are key to overcoming trauma. The work I have undertaken with Julie Ann has helped empower myself, sit with those feelings which I have tried to suppress for so long.
Mistakenly, I underestimated the power of the breath. I can now fully advocate and recommend this deep 1-1 work for everyone.

Thank you, Julie Ann, it was great to join you this morning for the wake-up and breathe session. I have been releasing a lot of grief this week, and it was great to be part of the group and I loved the seed from the heart visualisationThank you for your inspirational and loving work, at this time and always, your amazing much.

Hi Julie Ann
I am so pleased that you are able to come back to Bristol following lockdown. Various members of my family are now keen to come for a 1:1 session having seen the effect of several sessions on me.
I cannot thank you enough for the help you have given me and I’m sure that I will come for another session in the near future as I still have a couple of things to work on. I have found it very easy and uncomplicated to make some very positive changes in my life recently. Since working with you I now feel that I can really be the person who I want to be and who has been there all along but somewhat suppressed. This is not to say that my life has been unhappy; quite the opposite, but I’ve always known that there was a part of me wanting to be allowed to blossom and to feel free. Since my 1:1 breath sessions, I can truly say that I am that person. My head feels free and uncluttered, I feel as though I have oodles more patience, I don’t let little things get to me, I fully appreciate my life and all the things in it and I have stepped away from a couple of toxic friendships which has been empowering.
Being able to free me from the all-consuming feelings of guilt having had to place my lovely Mum in a nursing home for people with dementia just 5 months before she died (we had no other option) was a huge relief and I’ve not been able to access those guilty feelings ever again. Working on stuck emotions from my past has also been immensely freeing.
I can honestly say that this is some of the best money I have spent and would highly recommend it to people who are struggling or who just want to leave emotional baggage behind in order to be the person they really want to be. Even just one session can make a difference (as it did for my 25-year-old son).
Thank you, Julie Ann, I will always be grateful to you!
(One very happy and satisfied customer!)

Thank you for the TB session – It was a strong and lovingly held TB breathing session today, in a fine group of like-minded people. I felt safe with you and the group I had a wonderfully refreshing experience today. What a lucky opportunity to get to know you because of our lockdown! Thank you so much for offering Julie Ann! Highly recommended! Looking forward to breathing with you again next week!

Thank you for another warm-hearted online ‘Breathing in Love Circle’ today. Everyone’s intentions were different but you managed to embrace them as a whole which enabled us all to capture the oneness that’s we all share.

Julie Ann Horrox is an enthusiastic, dedicated and dynamic Transformational Breath® Facilitator. Judith Kravitz who’s the founder of the Transformational Breath method explains in the introduction to the breathing meditation 100 breaths of JOY that there is a direct correlation between the amount of breath that a person can take in and the amount of good a person is able to receive in life. It’s recommended to do this breathing practice daily.
I came to Julie Ann stressed, financially, emotionally and career-wise close to burning out and to disillusionment. I simply struggled to find the energy to keep up with myself. At the first breathing circle, I felt a huge shift. I’ve experienced deeper healing at every circle or 1 to 1 session I’ve attended. I would especially encourage booking personal private sessions, as the effects of these for me have been profound. I’ve would very warmly recommend the process of transformational breathing.
Julie Ann Horrox is a wonderful facilitator, true to her roots and very passionate about sharing this wonderful healing and evolvement tool. One quality that I find very endearing about Julie Ann is that if she makes a mistake, (we all do), she very readily admits, acknowledges and moves on, completely trusting the process and the unfolding of spirit. I warmly recommend Julie Ann.

Jemma Cooper
Wow wow wow. I had an online Transformational Breath® with Julie a few days ago, and it was so nourishing. I can only explain it as a type of freedom like your breath is digging into all the trapped feeling in your body that have been suppressed since childhood. It just digs into the unhealthy patterns and lets you release them. You get out of your mind and you feel, but you also come to realisations of what your unhealthy destructive patterns are and you can see a clear way of how to heal them.
Julie holds the space really well, she’s caring and comforting and knows exactly what’s going on when she sees how you breathe. I would recommend this to anyone who feels they need to lift depression and anxiety or that dullness we experience in life.
I truly believe it is one of the only ways your body really releases all of your old feelings and thoughts permanently. Make it into daily practice, mixed with self-care, socialising and all the things that make you feel good and life will become joyful again.
Lily Beck, actor & singer
I had been umming and ahhing about whether to attend the 6-day Transformational Breath® Seminar with Julie Ann and Vincent for over two years. I was feeling afraid or using money as an excuse, but I’ve now learnt that you should invest into things that you’re called to do, as it is in doing this that you journey even further down the road of self-fulfilment and soul purpose. I’m so pleased I did, I learnt so much more than just using the breath, I learnt what it was that I wanted to achieve from a soul’s truth perspective, I learnt how to calm my brain, I built relationships back up that had suffered as a result of my obsessive, incessant thoughts, I overcame barriers and pushed myself out of my comfort zone and because I used the breath to support me in all of these areas. I have now manifested my own fantastic creative business, my singing career has taken off and I have a far bigger respect for my body and deeper understanding of how it can heal us from our physical and emotional traumas. Thank you to Julie Ann, Vincent, the facilitators and all of the wonderful people who shared the course with us it truly was a transformative experience.
Laura, ‘Bristol Breathing Circle’ participant
I found the breathwork on Friday evening so powerful and I really let go of a lot of old stuff. I feel better than I have in years! So I’d like to continue this work by booking a one to one session with you next time you’re in Bristol. Do you have availability? Thank you again.
Farah Allibhai
I’ve just had my first 1-1 Transformational Breath® session with Julie Ann. Just WOW! Not only have I tried many healing modalities, but I’ve also been crying full time for that last 7 years and this is the first time I’ve actually felt like my crying has been an emotional clearing, getting to the root of it and not just a long-overdue emotional acknowledgement. Instead of feeling exhausted I felt energised and free. I’ve not been able to get up from lying down on my back without rolling on to my side for weeks and I was able to sit up straight pain-free, stiffness free immediately after our session, that’s a miracle.
I have never been held with such unconditional love and felt safe. Julie Ann provides and holds a safe space to release deeply buried emotions, in my case decades of anger that has played total havoc with my physical and mental health and that I’ve been petrified of acknowledging let alone feeling. I felt completely safe in her hands. It has never felt this safe for me to work this deeply with any other practitioner. The techniques used during Transformational Breath® are the only techniques I have come across that allow one to safely feel trauma & emotions and effectively release them!
Julie Ann knows what she’s doing and Transformational Breath® is POWERFUL. I’m so excited to be on this healing journey with Julie Ann.
Catherine, ‘Breathing in Nature’ attendee
My name is Catherine and at the weekend of 18/19th May, I went on Julie Ann Horrox’s workshop in Glastonbury. I had no idea what to expect, all I knew was that it was going to be a new experience for me. It was absolutely mind-blowing, I have experienced very deep trauma and although I have had different therapies this has been by far the best one for me. I have worked a lot on myself, but nothing was going to prepare me for the amount of baggage I was still carrying in my body, it was time for me to let go of it.
By breathing with this technique it brought myself back into my body, because for the best part of my life I have lived in my head right from childhood it was the only way I knew to keep me safe at the time and now I had to deal with whatever was going on in my body and create space for new situations to come in such as joy, love, laughter, lightness, softness, gentleness etc.
Julie was there to hold me and help all the way through, I felt very at ease and comfortable being in her presence, such a lovely warm kind and compassionate lady. To be able to express whatever was going on and not be judged in any way was so comforting and to be able to use my voice release my anger and rage was so liberating I cannot tell you.
I feel very honoured to have the opportunity of having Julie help me during this weekend, I have been wanting my freedom from Trauma and its
absolute control over my whole being, for a very long time, and now I have found this is really going to answer my prayers. I highly recommend Julie to anyone who has experienced PTSD such as I have to help you have a new way of thinking and to let go of the past and not let it imprison your whole being, because you do deserve to live a life of absolute freedom.
Thank you, Julie Ann. Love and Light.
Sue Price, Cardiff seminar attendee
The Seminar enabled me to start my journey working with the breath, after experiencing very powerful shifts I feel more focused. I am also inspired by Vincent, Julie Ann and the wonderful facilitators.
MaryLou, Hoogland Seminar attendee
I gained so much knowledge about the breath and myself, had revelations, visions, memories from other lives, it was so good to learn and grow, to experience and meet lovely people and to become a family. Thank you very much.
Ulle, yoga teacher, ‘Transform Your Shadow’ participant
Thank you for a great Transform your Life weekend, I learnt so much, I feel a completely different connection to myself and my breath and I really notice now if I hold my breath (which I do a lot) and start breathing deeply because I know how good I will feel. Thanks to you also I have a new love for spirituality and working with the elements and finding joy through ceremonies and a huge interest in learning more about UK history. I would really want to come and join on the 6-day transformational breath course in January, I think this will be a life-changing experience. Thank you kindly for anything you can do and your time!
Sally, engineer
Words are not enough to thank you for this weekend I truly feel you have changed my world. This morning as I stepped into my office I immediately caught myself going back to my old breathing pattern and felt suffocated. So many things lined up to bring me to your workshop and many of them have taken years to fall into place at just the right moment. I have always believed that the right things happen at the right time and am never more certain today. I will be transferring the deposit for January today and am looking forward to seeing where this journey takes me.
J, participant
Thank you so, so much for a really magical week with The Breath Seminar. I cannot quite find the words to thank you enough! The breath sessions, the cottages, the food were all wonderful, thank you for bringing all of that together for us. Most of all, thank you for being you and sharing yourself and bringing love and joy through everything. Big Hug and love xXx
Alanah Faith Larielle
Thanks, Lasare Maloney and Julie Ann Horrox for holding such a safe place for us. You are both amazing to work with and your approaches blend together perfectly and work magic. Thanks for the fun, loving and non-judgemental space that you brought to our group….. I am determined to continue to turn my life, energy and health around using Transformational Breath and the transformational tools we learnt so that I can shine and be full of vitality and joy in 2018. Looking forward to continuing our journey together.
Georgia Ayling, social worker
I first worked with Julie-Ann at an introductory workshop weekend ‘Transform Your Shadow’ that had been recommended by a friend. I was impressed by how powerful the breathing practice had been and what a good facilitator Julie Ann was, she created a safe space for the breathing practice to take place. Following on from the workshop I undertook a series of one to one sessions with Julie Ann to help me shift some ‘stuff’, these were very successful, I felt lighter, more empowered and more in control of my life as a result. The changes I experienced seem to be ongoing, and I hope to be able to take the work to a deeper level in the future. I would recommend Julie-Ann and Transformational Breath to anyone who feels stuck in any way and wants a safe and embodied way to work through this.
Sarah Laver-Holland, esw social worker
I came into this breathwork after seeing a friend who had been depressed forever, change. I had been a carer for nearly 13 yrs and whilst that was okay I was worn out and feeling I was not living my life to the full. I wanted a practice that was dynamic and I have now been doing this work now for about 6 months. After my first session, my business which had been dormant sprang to life and has been going from strength to strength ever since. I was then promoted to work. I make determinations with Julie Ann and they materialise. My recent determination was to come off the sleeping pills which I have taken for years. I wanted to sleep again naturally, I have now been off these pills for 4 weeks and I am sleeping, I had a few withdrawal symptoms but these I know will pass. I feel more alive, happier and present. I will continue with this practice as it has allowed me to let go of negative emotions and move on. I also love the feeling of total relaxation I get during the sessions. This is a dynamic practice which gets to the heart of things quickly and Julie Ann takes very good care of you on the journey. Try it and see.
Kiri
I had my first experience of Transformational Breath by chance at a talk Julie Ann gave in Glastonbury. I was fascinated by the synchronicity after mentioning to someone earlier that day that I wanted to learn how to breathe better as I have felt a restriction for many years and wasn’t sure what was causing it or how to change it. In her warm, personal and focused way Julie educated us all about the power of the breath and how it can relate to so many aspects of your life, and that by using the process of breath you can work together to radically improve and heal your life. I watched a volunteer try a session and knew this was something very special, transformational and 100% genuine, and after having my first one to one breath session with Julie I felt transformed immediately!
We worked through some very deep layers and the session was powerfully healing, yet not traumatic or overwhelming at all. I learnt how and where my breathing was restricting me in life and couldn’t believe how totally calm and grounded I felt after, lighter in energy, free of pain, or as I said after the session ‘completely back in my body’. I also had other rapid positive life changes including a call about a job I really needed right after the session, an interview later that day and succeeded in getting the position… amazing! Looking forward to the next session and bringing about more positive changes to my life, and greater mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.
Thank you so much, JulieAnn, for doing what you do!
Richard Armitage, entrepreneur
I met Julie Ann at a Glastonbury Positive Living Group event where she was presenting Transformational Breath. The subject immediately indicated to me and I commenced a series of sessions with Julie Ann. After the first 3 or 4, I was ready to book a Seminar in the US with Judith Kravitz, the founder of the movement, and I enjoyed a week in Boston with a very experienced group of trainers. I very much enjoyed the Seminar- enough to book the next one with Judith, also in Boston, just a month or two later.
Attending a week’s Seminar has taught me more about the practice, but for the act of purely receiving the benefit of sessions, my sessions with Julie Ann have been proving the most powerful. We have established a rapport that is enabling us to reach inside my body and start to free up some tensions seemingly trapped or held in my body that I have not been able to release with many other practices. I look forward to returning to Glastonbury and continuing this excellent work. Working with Julie Ann is fun and joyful and thoroughly recommended!
Annie Eston, writer
I’ve had three separate Transformational Breath Sessions with Julie Ann Horrox; the first was a drop-in introductory group, the second was a one-on-one consultation and treatment, and the third was a training workshop. I have to say that at each of these sessions, I experienced a breakthrough in terms of letting go of old emotional traumas, thus freeing up my breathing considerably. I also found Juliann to be an expert and dedicated teacher who holds the space brilliantly, so that everyone feels safe and cared for and able to trust and release. She provides a loving and supportive atmosphere while at the same time making sure that everyone has all the information that they need to take the next steps. I couldn’t recommend Julie Ann more highly.
Louisa Patterson, kinesiologist, eft, theta healing and reiki practitioner
Words cannot describe how truly transformative I am finding our breath sessions. I have managed to shift such deep pain, rage and grief, and you held, nurtured and compassionately supported me through the process. During our last session when you held me I felt light as a feather, like a newborn baby. You have a very special gift and have inspired me to want to study Transformational Breath. is truly a life-changing therapy, but I also feel it is doubly special because of who you are, and of course because of all of your experience!!! Thank you so much.
Toyin Olatunji
Thank you so very much for being an amazing facilitator. Feeling deeply peaceful and more in touch with myself after yesterday’s breathing circle. Was a great experience. Bless you.
Lasare Light Life Coach
Today’s session assisted me in deepening my capacity to allow, receive, let go and connect. I love the magical way that breath-work simply goes where it’s most needed and Julie Ann is a very angelic assistant and healer.
Emma, psychiatric nurse
Just wanted to give feedback on the evening. I found it so beneficial afterwards. Yesterday after breathing circle I felt more alive – more energy (I got loads done with an easy can do attitude. I also felt much more in my own power (haven’t felt this for so long) and could see the ripple effect on my relating (I was more assertive and present). Thank you very much for the evening it was good as always. I felt very safe with you and well supported.
Sally
Thank you so much for Sunday – I loved every minute of it, even if I was out of my comfort zone during the ‘group hug’ at the end. Sometimes an experience immediately draws us in and we feel a connection with it and that’s what happened to me on my first Transformational Breath® day. You are a real inspiration and your joy and vitality are infectious. I really hope that I will be able to come to one of your sessions in the future.
Debbie
I have not had one single moment of anxiety since. No pulse in my stomach, over beating heart, overwhelming feelings of anxiety, debilitating days when I feel I want to hide away. The change has been remarkable, and I can promise you there have been plenty of times in the last month and a half when I’ve had a lot to be anxious about. I feel I have been ‘rebooted’ to a time before anxiety came into and started controlling my life.
You asked me what I wanted to feel, go away with and I replied calmly. Thank you whatever happened that day, and I just thought I would try something different as I have been to numerous counselling sessions where I always felt a misfit, (always feeling why was I there?). I have felt able to be myself, speak my own mind and feel calm.
Sharon
I recently attended an introductory workshop in Boscombe, which I found amazing. I thought I would let you know that this workshop was the most impactful experience I have had at getting down to a “feeling” level, and I have done plenty of training.
Laurie, psychotherapist
I thought that you conducted the workshop with great skill, care and sensitivity. You gave me a great deal of confidence in your ability and skills when handling what must be some quite difficult situations. There is a delicate balance in how far you push people and I thought that you got it exactly right, further to your analysis of my breathing pattern, it was wholly accurate.
Jemma, therapist
Thank you, Julie Ann, for the beautiful breath session yesterday. You went to all the right places, of course, and spoke words of truth into my being, I felt the energy flowing so freely at the end.
Attendee
Well THANKYOU for the spectacular introduction to Transformational Breath and for such a profound experience, I got such a lot out of that workshop. Since the workshop in Sale, Manchester, I must tell you that I had bad asthma for 1 day, then I haven’t taken my inhaler since, it seems to have done something quite amazing and that was 3 months ago.
Natalia Brown, rebirth practitioner, seminar leader & international speaker
Over the many years I have known Julie Ann and worked closely with her, she never ceases to amaze me with her courage and tenacity for personal growth and change – no stone goes un-turned either in her own life or in those of her clients. She is kind and calm and to the point, so challenges can be resolved quickly and effectively in her presence. I find her work to be of the highest quality both in her own life and in her support of those around her, she is an inspiration.
Charlie, massage therapist
Julie Ann always knows just what to say and do to help you get the most out of your session. Lively, funny and powerful yet nurturing, gentle and intuitive Julie Ann has a unique way of helping you grow into the person you want to be. Her breathing sessions are an immensely powerful tool for transformation.
Glynis Judge
I recently spent 2 days with Julie Ann on a ‘mini breath-work retreat’. We worked in the mornings and had the afternoons for integration by walking and painting (these were my choices). Prior to the retreat, we discussed what I needed and Julie Ann then designed the days to suit my needs.
We started both days with a ‘daily practice’ of meditation, breathing and exercise which I was able to take away and use on my own. The first morning Julie took me through a Byron Katie process which identifies and turns around thoughts. This was followed by a Transformational Breath® session. The second day we worked further on thought processes and did another breathing session which developed the work undertaken on the first day.
I found Julie Ann to be very professional in her approach: she is clear about the structure of the day and how to manage the processes. She role models her work because she undertakes the practices and the breathing every day herself. She loves her work and she is a joy to be around because she is so positive and upbeat. She believes 100% in the breathwork and is very encouraging. Whilst being attentive and caring, Julie Ann is very intuitive and also very tough in giving feedback about what she hears and sees. She has a rigour about her which ensures she delves deep, to encourage honesty about the issues that were holding me back and does not leave stones unturned.
Julie Ann also has a lot of her own ‘life experiences’ to give her a deep understanding of the human condition. I felt I was really encouraged to ‘let go’ and to go inward and was supported all the way through the two days with love and attention. Julie Ann is very experienced in the breath and I feel very positive to recommend her to anyone who wants to live a fuller and more fulfilling life.

Julie Ann’s work is really quite powerful, she creates a safe space for healing to take place, and is very focused and skilled at guiding people through their issues. I have had life changing results from her breathing circle, Its obvious to me that her purpose in life is to help people work through their problems, she has been given this gift and she uses it very well.

Being in Julie Ann’s presence and with her safe guidance, I was able to face and leave behind what needed to be confronted and let go of. She helped me to understand what had to be done next to move forward in my chosen direction and break through old barriers. Julie Anne is a treasure to the world, and I hope many others may be assisted by her gifts and skills. With love and fond thanks…..a one in a million woman who I’ll always remember!

Just to say much appreciation for last night at the Breathing Group – it was great and it was a success due to how you conducted it.

I am truly, truly surprised and grateful for how well I feel after receiving your support. I came to you yesterday in total emotional turmoil, having been like this for a few days. I was able to share my deepest fears and worries with you, without fear of judgement. You identified the root cause immediately at a higher level which enabled me to resolve something within myself far quicker than I expected. Having completed the breathing session with you, I am truly astounded at how rapidly a sense of well-being has returned. When I was rather expecting to be stuck in those feelings. Thank-you thank-you thank you xxx

Thanks you so much for the breath work treatment I had with you, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I think I had a breakthrough, which may possibly be connected to the treatment. I woke up and realized a whole bunch of information, all at once, which is critical to who I am and what people are like to me, and has made me awaken to a completely transformed outlook on life. I remember being critical about my father during the treatment and I now know that that was wrong, as I, all of my life have had absolutely no idea really appalling horrendous things that he went through in his youth, which were indescribably terrible, so terrible. A full brickwork of the entire story, settled in my mind, that day and I now have absolutely no problem with my father and now feel, contrary to what I said before that my attitude and actions need to change towards him, as without knowing any of what I know now, he came across as a bit cold and out of order and I responded accordingly. I now realize that he didn’t want to tell me the terrible truth, in order to protect me from having to think about it and that it is actually that I need to care about what he’s been through. Which is 100 times worse than my experiences. All I could see in the treatment was that no-one in my life cares if bad things happen to me.
I am so glad that I can now understand why this was like this, don’t know if this is connected to the treatment, but I do know that I feel completely transformed and I just wanted to explain this change to you because I feel I painted my dad in a bad light and after realising what I have, I feel I need to change what I said to you.
