Meet The Founder
Hi, I’m fiona
I’m a proud mix of Irish storytelling and Yorkshire straight talk. With roots firmly planted in the North West of England, life has taken me around the world, living and working in East Africa before relocating to New Zealand.
A childhood marked by violence, abuse and my father’s incarceration, shaped my formative years, yet did not define my future. Instead, it fuelled an unwavering determination to make a positive difference in the world. This led me to over 25 years of frontline work in the most complex of environments people can find themselves in.
However, it was only upon discovering breathwork that something profoundly shifted in my own life. I was able to develop my capacity to process complex emotions such as shame, guilt, anger and blame. It was unlike anything I'd encountered before, it was immediate and refreshingly uncomplicated.
This life changing experience became the foundation of everything I now offer. It also ignited my passion to create a unique framework, within which, I now facilitate breathwork.
APPLIED PATTERN INTEGRATION ™
APPLIED PATTERN INTEGRATION ™
The challenges we face today demand more from us than ever before.
Most of us are living lives shaped by stories we didn’t consciously choose. Patterns that formed long before we had the awareness to question them. Some formed in childhood. Some from unresolved experiences as an adult. Some handed down through families across generations.
The quiet voice that says you’re not enough. The part that reaches for distance when things get too close. The habit of saying yes when every part of you means no. The part that works harder, achieves more and it still doesn’t feel enough. The exhaustion and overwhelm of managing a version of yourself that no longer fits.
Applied Pattern Integration™ is a framework I have developed to reach the source of any unconscious behavioural and relational patterns, acknowledging that they will have once made sense.
When combined with breathwork, the result isn’t just insight. It’s a palpable shift you feel within. In your life. And in your relationships. This is the work of making the unconscious, conscious, and being able to choose differently.
The breath opens the door. Applied Pattern Integration is what you walk through it with.
