Somatic Coaching & Breathwork
Nervous system support that helps you reduce stress, improve resilience and restore performance.
I help people move out of chronic stress, overwhelm and emotional overload through somatic coaching, breathwork and nervous system regulation so they can feel more grounded, resilient and present in both life and work.
This is support that goes beyond coping. It’s what life feels like when your system isn’t constantly holding everything together.
A Different Approach to Wellbeing
All of my 1:1 sessions are guided by a simple, science-backed approach that works with your nervous system, your mind and your body.
When stress has been building for a while
It can show up in subtle ways at first.
Sleep doesn’t feel as restorative as it used to.
Focus takes more effort.
Energy feels less consistent.
There’s more pushing through than ease.
And even when things are going well on the outside, something can still feel a little switched on underneath it all.
It can feel like stress is running the show
This is where we start UNBOUND is a 1:1 Somatic Coaching programme designed to support your nervous system, capacity and resilience.
I’m Clare - your Somatic Stress & Breathwork coach
I work with people who are often highly capable and used to holding a lot, but who notice that internally things don’t feel as steady or spacious as they would like.
My work blends somatic coaching, breathwork and nervous system education to support people in understanding and shifting stress patterns at the level of the body.
The intention is not to change who you are.
It’s to create more internal space so you can feel more like yourself again.
FAQ.
What is somatic coaching and how does it support stress and performance?
Somatic coaching is a body-based approach that works with the nervous system, breath and physiology to help shift chronic stress patterns. Instead of focusing only on mindset, it supports how stress is held and processed in the body. This can improve emotional regulation, resilience, focus and overall wellbeing, especially when stress has been building over time.
What is nervous system regulation?
Your nervous system is what allows you to move between states of stress and rest. When it has been under ongoing pressure for a long time, it can become harder to fully switch off, rest or recover. Over time, this can impact sleep, energy and overall capacity. Supporting nervous system regulation helps create more steadiness, emotional balance and resilience in everyday life.
How does breathwork help with stress and anxiety?
Breathwork supports the nervous system by influencing physiological stress responses such as heart rate, breathing patterns and overall activation levels. Because the breath is directly linked to the stress response system, changing how you breathe can help signal safety to the body and support a gradual shift out of overwhelm.
How does this improve resilience and performance?
As your nervous system becomes more regulated, you typically experience:
- clearer thinking
- improved focus
- more consistent energy
- better emotional regulation
- increased resilience under pressure
From a physiological perspective, the body is no longer operating in constant stress activation, which supports more sustainable performance in both life and work.
Do you offer online somatic coaching sessions in the UK?
Yes — 1:1 somatic coaching sessions are available online across the UK and internationally. When I am in Manchester, in-person sessions are also possible.
Who is this work for?
This work is for people who feel like they’re carrying a lot internally whether that’s stress, pressure or feelings of anxiety. It’s for those who want to feel more steady, present and like themselves again. It can be especially supportive for improving emotional regulation, resilience, HRV and overall wellbeing without needing to push harder.
Why do I feel constantly stressed or like I can’t switch off?
When the nervous system has been under long-term pressure, it can stay in a state of activation even when life may look fine on the outside. On the inside, this can affect sleep, focus, energy and emotional steadiness. It’s often not about what you’re doing wrong, but about how your system has adapted to sustained stress over time.

That ‘one day’ you keep waiting for?
It won't arrive on it's own.
Not unless you choose it.
You can keep pushing through and hoping it gets easier…
Or you can slow down, soften and reconnect with yourself again.
