💫 I’m Aliyah, a Somatic Trauma Therapist, Coach, and Breathwork Practitioner, and I founded Breathe Feel Heal — a nurturing brand and integrative practice dedicated to supporting your healing & self-growth journey. From 1-1 sessions and coaching groups, to breathwork sessions, immersive workshops and retreats, I create a safe space for you to reconnect mind & body, release adaptive & unconscious patterns, and step into your authentic self.

✨AWAKEN YOUR TRUE SELF is a nourishing mini-retreat designed to gently guide you back to your body's innate wisdom and medcine of your own breath.

What will it include:

🌬️ Breathwork JourneysAcross the day, you’ll explore practices that build gently, beginning with breath opening exercises and moving towards a deeply immersive breathwork journey. No experience is needed — you’ll be supported to trust your breath and drift into healing, restorative states.

🧘 Movement & StillnessEnjoy light yoga led by Sandy, who will guide you through a connective sun salutation sequence, followed by a short yoga nidra meditation to invite deep rest.

🌱 Somatic PracticesExperience trauma-informed somatic exercises that will help you connect more deeply with your body and cultivate lasting healing.

🌊 Nature ConnectionWe’ll take a mindful silent beach walk and reflective journalling allowing integration in the elements.

💞 Inner Child ConnectionThrough guided practices, you’ll reconnect with your inner child and younger parts of yourself — bringing compassion, healing, and a sense of wholeness.

Often, when past experiences felt overwhelming, the mind disconnected from the body in order to cope. While this helped us survive and adapt as children, it can keep us stuck in reactive patterns and adaptive behaviours as adults, pulling us away from wholeness and authenticity. Through building safety in the body and fully feeling what was once too much, those experiences can finally complete. From here, the mind becomes a true ally — supporting freedom, conscious choice, and healthier ways of living and relating.

TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS MINI-RETREAT?

✨ Overview:

This is more than just a mini-retreat — it’s a deep, embodied journey reconnecting you to your true, authentic self. It’s a compassionate & curious self-discovery beneath past wounds, emotional triggers, unconscious patterns and limiting beliefs.

💫 Over five immersive hours, you’ll experience the healing power of breathwork, somatic therapy & inner child healing

I’ve developed a unique Breathwork methodology blended with intentional somatic practices and writing exercises designed to safely guide you into a deep inner journey. As you reconnect to the wisdom of your body, you’ll encounter younger parts of yourself (and even younger adult parts) — whose needs to be seen, heard, understood, soothed, or simply allowed to BE were inconsistently met, inadequately supported, or in some cases, never met at all, in both childhood and even in relationships. These are the parts whose feelings were not fully held, comforted, or allowed to be expressed, and through this work, they are gently invited to be felt and expressed fully to bring us back into wholeness.

When those experiences were overwhelming, frightening, or unsupported, the mind often disconnected from the body in order to cope. This survival response left these parts fragmented in the body, giving rise to protective adaptations such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, overworking, over-helping, avoiding, or shutting down. While these strategies once helped us survive, over time they become ingrained patterns that shape how we feel, relate, and choose in adult life — often keeping us stuck and disconnected from our authentic selves.

In this space, you’ll be gently supported to meet these adaptive parts — the protectors, pleasers, achievers, avoiders, or shutdown parts — with compassion and curiosity. Through breath, somatic awareness, and integration, you’ll begin to restore wholeness, release what no longer serves you, and reclaim the freedom to live and relate from your true self.

👉 This work is not about blaming caregivers or parents, there's no healing and growth in this. It’s about approaching ourselves with curiosity and compassion — gently exploring how we’ve learned and adapted into certain patterns of behaviour, reactions, and cycles of negative thinking or feeling that may once have been 'protective' but not longer serve us.

🌀 What to Expect:

We’ll gently guide you through a layered, experiential journey including:

🔹 Breath-opening practices & learning the science of breath medicine🔹 Setting intentions & exploring what called you here🔹 Co-regulation & guided visualisation meditation to connect with your Higher Self — the version of you you’re becoming🔹 Inner child healing — through therapeutic reflection, somatic practices and journaling🔹 A deep, 1-hour somatic breathwork journey to release stuck energy (unresolved trauma & supressed emotion) and awaken life force within🔹 Time in nature: silent beach walk, grounding meditation, and reflection🔹 Tools & practices to take away to reinforce and continue learnings

FURTHER INFO:

How does Breathwork support this?

💜 Our breath is unconsciously controlled by the state of our nervous system - when we conciouscly take control of it, we can connect to the wisdom of the breath and body, and it can support the release stuck energy in the body and nervous system which is often rooted in overwheleming experiences, unexpressed feelings, supressed emotion and unresolved trauma . As we take contorl of the breath we can regualte the nervous system, remove excess cortisol & find safety in our bodies again.

The “stuck energy” in the body comes from experiences that were overwhelming, frightening, or unsupported, and as a result, our nervous system holds onto them. Because this energy hasn’t been fully processed or expressed, it can show up in our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — creating patterns, impulses, or reactions that feel automatic. In other words, our body is still carrying the memory of what happened, and until it’s released and integrated, these patterns keep repeating, even when we consciously want to respond differently.

When we allow ourselves to Breath Feel Heal in a supported way, the experiences that once became “stuck” in the body can begin to complete. This process naturally restores a sense of wholeness and resilience.

From this place of integration, the mind shifts from being a source of overwhelm to becoming a true ally — helping us make conscious, healthier choices that align with our authentic self

What do you mean by trauma?

I’m especially focused on the more subtle, chronic forms of developmental & relational trauma most of us carry to varying degrees. These are the moments we didn’t feel seen, heard, comforted, held, understood or accepted as we were. Over time, especially when these experiences were chronic, unpredictable, or inconsistent — they can create a deep sense of unsafety in the body and disconnection from our true self.

Experiences like:

• Being punished, controlled or criticised for expressing emotions or behaving ‘wrongly ‘or just being ourselves
• Feeling that love or approval was conditional on performance or behaviour
• Being regularly scared, sad or chronically stressed due to parents arguing or a parent being emotionally unpredictable, emotionally unavailable or not present
• Not being allowed or feeling safe to express anger, sadness, or joy

These seemingly "normal" experiences can deeply shape our sense of self and often teaches us that it’s not safe to simply BE — to feel, express, or exist. As a result we supress our needs and feelings, and over time this disconnects us from our true, authentic selve.

How can we be fully ourselves if we don’t even know what we feel or need, let alone how to express it?

This somatic breathwork journey offers space to meet those adaptive parts with compassion and curiosity— and begin to change our relationship with them and help discharge the stuck energy beneath them to help shift the patterns that no longer serve you.

What is Somatic and how does it work?

Somatic means body - as we work somatically we can access the felt sense—the body’s wisdome and language of emotions, sensations, impulses, and reactions. By tuning into this internal body experience, we begin to notice where these adaptive patterns and protective responses are stored and how they show up in the body. This deeper awareness allows us to build resilience to step out of these old patterns and understand the root of our limiting beliefs, fears and negative perceptions of ourselves.

As we work somatically we can start to heal the fragmented mind & body connection and use the conscious mind to make new choices and align with our true, authentic self.

You will experience a full session of deep, conscious connected Breathwork to regulate your nervous system, facilitate mind and body healing, release suppressed emotions and/or unresolved trauma, relieve anxiety, stress, depression, and rebalance and reenergise the body. It will help restore safety and trust in the body and mind, and hold space for big or gentle emotional releases and somatic movment. It will also include coaching and therapy tools and practices to learn and take away with you.

Yes, there will be time for a lunch break and depending on the weather we can enjoy lunch at the beach near by. We will be taking a silent meditiation walk up and down the beach, before or after lunch (this will be decided on the day).

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING LUNCH:

Please pack a LIGHT lunch, as we’ll be moving into a deeper, active breathwork session after lunch. It’s important that you don’t feel overly full or uncomfortable when we start. I recommend having a substantial breakfast in the morning so you can enjoy a lighter lunch comfortably.

There is a lunch menu available at the hotel if you prefer to grab something there, or, if the weather is good and everyone is keen, we could enjoy lunch at the beach.

There is a dinner menu at the hotel to you're welcome to indulge in afterwards.

Accomodation

Can I stay at the hotel?

Yes you can stay at the hotel if you like for an additional cost, if you let them know you're booking in for this mini retreat they may offer a better rate for you. As it's a holiday day you will have to book fast as room availability may be on the lower side. Alternatively, there are lots of air b n b, bed and breakfasts and other smaller hotels near by.

Testimonials:

"As soon as I entered the room to begin the workshop, I felt excited, relaxed and extremely welcome. The session wasn’t about reliving your trauma or past events it was about making space for your trauma, holding the trauma in love and comfort and acknowledging all younger versions of ourselves. Aliyah also guided us through a powerful breathwork and journalling session helping us to rewrite the stories we have been telling ourselves which was extremely powerful.

Aliyahs knowledge and experience is second to none. She has a truly beautiful way of allowing you to be your true authentic felt without feeling shame, blame and guilt. I cannot explain in words the energy releases and shifts that I experienced during our 3-hour session with Aliyah. The entire community (100+ participants) that day felt and experienced profound energy releases and changes within their bodies. Aliyah’s session remained to be the core topic of conversation throughout the weekend amongst the community. The main thing I learned during the entire four-day workshop and took home with me to teach my children was just how powerful our breath is. It really and truly is our medicine. I believe it so much so that I have reached out to Aliyah privately and booked some 1:1 coaching sessions so that she can guide me through my journey to fully regain my emotional strength & self-awareness so that I can continue on this beautiful, profound transformation and fulfill my life purpose and dreams." - Sharon

'I met Aliyah back in May on a 4 day workshop with Ray Behan in Dublin. I took her workshop as part of this group. I was blown away by how Alliyah conducted her breath work workshop. I found it to be cathartic. I connected with the energy of the moment. Alliyah as a therapist has it all; the energy, the voice, the wisdom and most importantly she has a unique way of guidance that generates a safety in her voice. I think that is important when you unlock emotion and energy in somatic breathwork healing, for it to be magical you need to feel comfortable and safe in your body in the moment. I enjoyed it so much that I flew to London 2 weeks later to attend another one of her workshops and I was lucky to also have a 1:1 session with Alliyah on the same day. We are all born with a gift. I believe the universe buries our gifts deep within us all and then stands back to allow us to find that taking us on a journey through a life of discovery of the self. Alliyah’s gift is her ability to provide a safe space in her company combined with her wisdom, words, voice and music to allow you to step right up into your own superconscious to allow magical healing to occur for the self. Alliyah is due to come to Cork, Ireland soon to do a workshop and I am really looking forward to this. I highly recommend! Thank you Alliyah' - Issy
