My name is Courtney, I’m a breathwork instructor and founder of Calmful Connections.

I’m a huge lover of nature, adventure and holistic health. When I’m not holding breathwork sessions, you can typically find me hiking or running in the bush, paddle boarding or snorkelling.

I created Calmful Connections after years of struggling with anxiety, grief and burnout. I believe in today’s society we are all so BUSY that the head noise and stress is considered “normal”.

I spent the ages of 18-21 dealing with grief, anxiety and depression. I had become a full-time carer for my Mum who was diagnosed with early on-set dementia.

When I was 22, I was fortunate enough to find breathwork. This practice transformed my life for the better. It’s the one practice I found truly quietened my mind. It allowed me to connect with my true self, without the head noise, and without the pressure of life.

With my desire to learn more, I went on to complete a Level 1 Breathwork Instructor Course, started working 1:1 with clients, assisted to facilitate a Breathwork Instructor Course, completed a Level 2 - Advanced Breathwork Instructor Course and began holding group breathwork sessions.

In breathwork I found peace from my own mind, I found a deep sense of self love, a community and connection.
