Events
Small groups, held with care, often outdoors. Every event is booked through Bookwhen, and every one starts with a full briefing so first-timers feel at home.
New to this? Sound bath and breathwork is the gentlest place to start. You lie down, get cosy and simply listen.
A guided breathing journey of continuous, connected breath set to music. It can release stored tension, quieten a busy mind and leave you deeply rested. Includes grounding and integration time.

Gentle breathwork to settle the body, followed by a sound bath of crystal bowls, gongs and chimes. You lie back under blankets and let the vibrations do the work. A good first event if you’re curious but cautious.

Rounds of heat and cold water immersion, guided by breath. You learn to stay calm when the body wants to panic, a skill that carries straight into everyday stress. Our Sunday sessions are the most popular.

Breathwork paired with sound, reiki, yoga and guided nature walks, run with trusted practitioners and studios across the region, such as Mindful Living - YOU in Prestwich.

About
I run Life After Breath from my home patch between Ramsbottom and Preston. I host breathwork, sound baths and contrast therapy for people who want to feel less stressed, less anxious and more connected: to themselves, to each other and to the outdoors.
