OUR MISSION

It is our mission to support people to reduce their stress and overwhelm and move towards resilience, rhythm and calm.

At The Breath Connection, we specialise in nervous system support, conscious breathwork, cold water, somatic movement, mindset and other evidence-based practices that restore balance in both body and mind.

Our approach is grounded, accessible and rooted in lived experience.

Whether you're feeling depleted, anxious, disconnected or simply in need of a reset, we offer practical tools and structured support to help you feel more steady, present and connected.

A BIT ABOUT US

Sam Murray, a former Royal Marine Commando, discovered the power of breathwork through his own recovery from PTSD & depression. What began with the Wim Hof Method became a deeper journey into nervous system regulation and mental resilience.

In 2020, Sam met Miranda Bailey, a Nutritional Therapist and Breathwork Practitioner with a focus on stress, burnout and recovery. Together they founded The Breath Connection, combining their professional expertise and lived experience to help others reconnect with the breath and restore balance.

As The Breath Connection, we offer live sessions, online courses and residential retreats to support resilience, regulation and wellbeing. Our work has grown from years of supporting people exposed to chronic pressure, responsibility, and stress - including Blue Light & Emergency Services, Healthcare Services, and a variety of frontline roles.

Because of that, our approach is:

  • Nervous-system-led

  • Trauma-aware and informed

  • Focused on regulation

We prioritise safety, containment, and practicality for both participants and facilitators.

some of what we offer

At The Breath Connection, we understand that stress can be overwhelming, but with the right tools and support, it is possible to find calm, clarity and strength again. We offer a number of practical services which include:

'Back to Balance': our signature 4-week online programme is designed to help you create calm, supportive routines and shift out of stress in real time. With daily practices, live sessions and expert guidance, you’ll learn to reset your nervous system, regulate your energy, and build lasting resilience.

Workshops (and Workplace Wellbeing): we deliver tailored sessions on stress, breath, and resilience for teams, organisations, communities and private groups.

Retreats: our immersive reset retreats - both full day and residential - offer space to unwind, reconnect and recharge. Set in beautiful, calming locations, they combine breathwork, cold water, movement, rest and nourishing food to support deep regulation and recovery.
