Certified Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitation
A breathwork journey with Fiona is truly magical.
Entering the space that Fiona creates is one of the most powerful and healing gifts you can give to yourself. Fiona is a highly skilled Facilitator with a deep empathy and understanding of what it means to be human. I couldn’t recommend this experience more highly.
EMBER SPRING HARTWELL - PHYSIOTHERAPIST
Most powerful experience of my life.
I have been working on my meditation practice for years and decided to attend Fiona’s workshops with no expectations and was truly blown away. The amount of personal insight and realizations was emotional and eye-opening. I honestly never knew we could journey so deep within ourselves.
I strongly recommend anyone to attend who is ready for a life changing journey.
ERIC LA FRANCE - STREET TO HOME KEYWORKER
This was an amazing session, wish we could have had longer.
I’ve done a fair amount of mindfulness and meditation work, but nothing like this. Incredible results, I haven’t felt that calm, relaxed and at peace in a long time.

Coming to one of Fiona’s workshops was the most enlightened experience I have ever had.
Upon arriving, I felt vulnerable and anxious, however, the safety that Fiona carried through her entire being allowed me to connect to her calmness. During the journey, I experienced deep flowing emotions, which broke through all my fears, showing me what to release to be able to grow into who I really am. It was so beautiful and unexpected.
My advice - Take the step to be vulnerable in this space with Fiona. You won’t regret it.
JASMINE TELEIAI - YOUTH WORKER
Thank you for taking me on an absolutely magical journey.
I have never attended a full breathwork session before and so this was my first. Fiona, you created both a physically and spiritually safe place for me to open myself up. It has now been more then 24 hours and I still feel the vibration of our session and an opening of my own higher power.
Thank you. Mauri aroha.
ELISHA-MAY LEMON - SERVICE MANAGER - AUCKLAND CITY MISSION
Fiona puts in a level of care, attention and effort unlike any other Facilitator I’ve worked with which helped me to really surrender into the experience. I felt so safe and after clearing the emotional blocks, I was able to connect to my true strength, courage and wisdom to live a life of service and play!
We tapped into some limiting beliefs from my childhood that I wasn’t aware of, and felt a weight lift from my system as we explored how they had been impacting my current reality. Thank you Fiona for helping me to remember the power of my authenticity and for holding me with so much love.

Simply amazing. This workshop changed the way I think about stress management and giving myself space and time. Also - how intentional breathing can totally impact your wellbeing.

This morning I had an incredible experience…it was my first journey into breathwork.
I had a few thoughts about what it might be like, but it was so rejuvenating and healing. Fiona guided me on the journey and it was a very safe and secure experience. I can’t really articulate what happened but I feel like a million bucks and I’ve been feeling so s*** lately…there was some stuff that has definitely shifted. I’ll be back and if you wanna do some deep self work, I can’t recommend Fiona enough. I’ll be doing more journeys with her for sure.
MIMI KELLY - CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Fiona’s workshop was an amazing eye-opening experience that showed me how much unconscious stuff we can heal with the breath alone. I'm forever grateful. Fiona’s take away exercise has certainly had an immediate and calming effect, and I'm glad to have this tool in my arsenal now.
Fiona is an amazing and down to earth teacher. Couldn't have asked for a better guide. The perfect balance for an effective and practical workshop.
EUGENE HOOPER - MOTION DESIGNER & EDITOR
I went into breathwork with Fiona not knowing much about the process and with little expectation as to what would happen. From the start I was made to feel comfortable and supported and I found her guidance reassuring and easy to follow.
The surprising part was the depth of the experience that ensued, something that I have since used to change and improve my life in meaningful ways. Fiona appeared to have an intuitive knowing of where to be and who to support at the right time and I will certainly join another Breathwork session with Fiona when I get the chance.
Highly recommended.
GEOFF MERCER - LAWYER & SHAMAN
I was somewhat nervous driving towards my first breathwork session. However, Fiona’s presence made it easy to feel like I was home. Fiona guided me through my spiritual journey where I received an abundance of love, joy and pure bliss.
With the messages, tools, guidance, and insight that I’ve gotten from the 1:1 session, I’m able to apply it to my daily walk of life and inspire by spreading the love and being a light to my family, friends, colleagues, clients, and new connections to come.
Thank you Fiona.
KRISTIAN CHARLES - EDUCATOR
The breathwork sessions I have done with Fiona have been deeply healing. Throughout these powerful experiences I have felt both supported and nurtured and Fiona guided me through the session with integrity and sensitivity. I now have a daily breathwork practice which I can feel activating and shifting energy in my body as well as grounding and supporting me.
Breathwork with Fiona has been life changing.
ANNA TOZER - EDITOR
WOW! I was so inspired by this workshop.
It took me to another place. It helped me understand the importance of listening to my breath. The importance of the nervous system and of being in harmony. How we have moved away from making decisions from the heart to one focused solely on the brain, and that leadership is all about connection and self-awareness.
Thank you Fiona.

Fiona instinctively knew when to offer guidance which gave me the confidence to keep breathing even when I felt challenged. She seemed to know exactly when to offer physical touch which helped me to feel safe and allowed me to relax. I cannot express how wonderful the whole experience was for me from beginning to end. Feeling very grateful.
Being supported by Fiona is such a gift. If you have an opportunity to work with Fiona, jump at it.
DAVID COLBERT - BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER
There is a reason why I call Fiona an exemplary human (much to her embarrassment).
She has a lifetime of invaluable experience supporting other humans in need, always to their great gain. And she is as inspiring, caring, trustworthy, honest, uncynical, and as huge hearted as anyone you could ever want. Wisdom born out of experience.
Safe hands/warm heart – what could be more needed in the world right now?
MARCUS GEORGIOU – JOURNALIST
Absolute gratitude for Nooma Breathwork for holding such a supportive space.
Feeling on top of the world to be honest. If anyone is intrigued or feels a pull to one of Fiona’s workshops, I can vouch for her calm and inviting energy. Bring on the next level.
JORDAYLA SANGSTER – ENTREPENEUR
Fiona brings with her a lifetime of experience and has no trouble creating space for her clients no matter where they come from or what challenges they are currently faced with.
She creates a safe nurturing environment and intuitively assists you in your breathwork journey. Not only does she create a safe space, but most importantly, she always ensures you are fully supported before sending you back into the world again.
JOHN VAN HUENEN - BREATHWORK FACILITATOR
Wow - This workshop was magic - I have never felt so many things all at once and all together. I was guided, protected and enlightened, all whilst being held in such a safe space.
I always felt there was a part of me that needed “fixing” but now I know it’s so much more than that. I can just take it all in, follow my path and believe in the power of my body.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Fiona. For your guidance, for bringing me on this journey and for being such a beautiful guide.
CHLOE STONE – EDUCATOR
I attended one of Fiona’s workshops and was absolutely mind blown at how powerful and beautiful the whole experience was.
Fiona made me feel so comfortable and grounded from beginning to end. I felt completely safe throughout the entire workshop. I have been back since and definitely plan to attend many more.
HOLLY DAVEY - EARLY CHILDHOOD TEACHER
Words can’t articulate my experience and the impact that Fiona’s breathwork workshop has had on me.
Fiona, with graceful light, held space for me to begin to soften, with which I was able to experience what I can only explain as the perfect juxtaposition of challenge, confrontation, beauty and release.
The effects from this workshop have unlocked something within me and armed me with some helpful tools to help me on my journey.
TRACY SARGANT ROBERTS – CREATIVE DIRECTOR
Total calmness. I deeply appreciated the breath workshop with Fiona. I found her to be a beautiful soul and really enjoyed spending time and space with her.
LEADERSHIP NEW ZEALAND PROGRAMME PARTICIPANT
Thank you Fiona for such a beautiful experience. Your soothing energy & natural way of holding space was very special indeed.
Much was felt in this workshop. I'm still enjoying the unravelling of what shifted in our session, especially trusting & accepting felt much easier & embodied within me.
CINDY FARRAR - MARKETING EXECUTIVE
The breathwork journey with Fiona was outstanding.
Fiona is very gifted and led the journey with great professionalism, compassion, and care. I felt completely safe throughout and was able to deeply relax into the experience. Fiona was by my side as soon as I needed, guiding me with ease and calmness. The self-healing that has occurred since the journey has been profound and lasting.
All I can say is, don’t hesitate if you ever have the opportunity to work with Fiona.
GABRIELE WOESTE - DESIGNER
This was a true revelation.
Talk about unlocking new powers that you didn't know you were capable of. The way Fiona guided us was gentle, and kind, and full of grace for how different people engaged with the activities.

Powerful…This was my first time doing anything like this. I went in with an open mind and no expectations, and I left with all the clarity I so desperately needed right there and then.
This session was something I never knew I needed. Fiona’s guidance, care and love was key in making this session what it was for me. Thank you Fiona for your kindness and for the light that you are, creating a safe space for me to experience what I did.
TIANA LUAMANUVAE – POLICY SOLUTIONS REPRESENTATIVE
Being brand new to breathwork, I was nervous and unsure what to expect but WOW, what an experience.
Fiona is so warm and welcoming. She was able to guide me every step of the way and created the space I needed to allow myself to feel comfortable throughout my time with her. Within days of a single 1:1 session with Fiona, I started to make the changes I needed and it’s been life changing. Thank you Fiona.
If the opportunity presents itself to work with Fiona, grab it. You truly will not be disappointed.
DEE HURDOWAR - REGISTERED NURSE
LEADERSHIP NEW ZEALAND PROGRAME PARTICIPANT
Wow! What a great way to focus on yourself.
I have never done this before with an actual trained Breath Facilitator. Fiona was very professional and made it easy to be at ease with the activities. I learnt so much about my leadership style, how to regulate my nervous system and how both are related. A really interesting session. I absolutely loved it.
