Did you know that breath informs the nervous system's response to stress?

In this powerful episode, Juanique sits down with breathwork expert and physiotherapist Campbell Will to uncover how your breath holds the key to healing your nervous system and transforming your health. 

Here’s the thing: your breathing patterns aren’t just about oxygen—they’re directly tied to your mindset and how you show up for your healing journey. When you understand and optimize your breath, you’re literally retraining your nervous system to feel safe, calm, and resilient.

They dive into:

•How dysfunctional breathing impacts your mental and physical health.

•Campbell’s ACO Framework (Awareness, Control, Optimization) to help you take back control of your body and mind.

•Gentle practices like sighing and intentional breathing to shift you from stress to calm.

•Why mindset and breath go hand in hand as the first step in healing.

Healing starts in the mind, and breathwork is a powerful tool to help you rewire your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system. By calming your body, you open the door to deeper healing in every area of your life.

Listen now to discover how mastering your breath can set the foundation for your self-healing journey.

Take a deep breath, hit play, and let me know—how is your mindset impacting your healing?
