In today's episode of the Built by JH Fitness Podcast, I'm joined by someone incredibly special—Sinead from Rewild and the practice of Rewild Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork.

Sinead is not only a powerful space holder in this healing work, but someone I've had the honour of being mentored by through the Rewild Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork training.

And more recently, I had the privilege of sitting down with her to explore the depth of this life-changing practice. This conversation is honest, grounded, and deeply reflective.

We dive into the essence of somatic breathwork—not just as a modality, but as a return to self.

From the rise of breathwork in Ireland, to the need for safe, trauma-informed spaces, we explore what it really means to heal authentically and sustainably.

Whether you're curious about breathwork, exploring healing work, or seeking deeper self-awareness—this episode offers wisdom, compassion, and direction.

And if it resonates with you, there's an opportunity to take this further: the next Rewild Trauma-Informed Somatic Breathwork experience is happening in Ireland this August.

You can reach out to Sinead directly through her personal Instagram or @rewildbreathwork, or connect with me at @builtbyjhfitness if you'd like more info or want to reserve a space.

Now let's get into it... ---
