Briony Gunson -

I started with Briony because I was after some direction in my life after having come through a really tough time and wanting to make a good future for myself. Through talking, sharing and being in a safe environment, Briony helped me look at me and my life and we worked together to see how to approach things in a better way - and helped me with my stress, anxiety and self-confidence. Also the breath work sessions really helped me connect with myself more and relieved stress - while also helping with my anxiety. Briony is a warm, friendly and fantastic person and it has been a pleasure working with her. I would definitely recommend seeing her.

Briony is a light in this world. She illuminates. Her combination of coaching and embodied breathwork is transformative. Ive seen it in her own life, in mine and the lives of others who have worked with her. Her generosity in sharing her own journey with us is heart opening. She is breathing with you too. To me her work offers a courageous barefoot trodden map of steps you can take to get through this thing called life and be with what is. Its very comforting to know Briony is in this world and offering this kind of work. Thank you Briony.

Words cannot do justice to how much Briony has helped me in such a short space of time, guiding me through some somatic breath work enquiry practices and holding the space for me to release deeply held trauma of decades!
Briony is a wonderful generous person who creates a safe environment you can trust and be ok feeling vulnerable while she patiently holds the space allowing you to be however you need to be.
I had been in a 4 year cycle of physical pain, I'd tried a lot of different therapies, diets, medications and so on for my autoimmune condition, but by far working with Briony has been the biggest pain/emotional release for me! I am almost symptom free right now from finally connecting to my body acknowledging the silenced pain I had been internalising for years!

I booked a 4 session breath work with mindset coaching package and it's the best investment I could have ever gifted myself. Briony has reawakened joy in me on such a profound level and I feel amazing! Don't think I have ever been so present in life. I wasn't able to cry before but I have made big shifts with this thanks to Briony's honest and nurturing guidance, showing me warmth and safety to express this without fear and judgement getting in the way.

Thank you Briony for shining your light and lifting the darkness from me. You have awakened my mind and body to a positive thriving future! If I could give you more than 5 stars I'd rate you in terms of the night sky because you can't even count how many amazing stars are up there! Anyone who works with you can look forward to big transformations, joyful energy shifts and the feeling of being alive! You can't get better than that so go book her now!

I've been meaning to write this review for Briony's breathwork facilitation for some time now but have put it off as it needed and deserved my full attention!

I've always attended Briony's breathwork sessions in groups, either outdoors before a cold water dip, or as part of a group meditation evening. Every one of Briony's breathwork sessions have been extremely wholesome and unifying experiences, where my rib cage has tingled with energy, my nervous system has warmed with ease and I've felt completely held by Briony's presence.

What I've always loved about Briony as a person (not just her breathwork facilitation) is that her facilitation style is a genuine extension of who she is as person, extremely compassionate, understanding, open minded and encouraging, Briony really does embody all of the qualities needed as a breathwork facilitator to lovingly hold space for others.

Briony's breathwork facilitation has been immensely helpful for me well outside of her sessions. Like the advice of a sister or family member, I always hear and look to Briony's guidance in challenging situations. Last summer I fainted during a run whilst I was out on my own, after I'd regained consciousness, I was too disorientated and nauseous to get back up and walk home, however what really comforted me in that situation was drawing on Briony's teachings and hearing her saying that all I needed to do in that moment was to 'breath', so that's exactly what I did, I focused on breathing slowly and consciously, and in time I was relaxed enough to call for help.

More recently I was harassed on the street during a holiday abroad, it was in broad daylight and a man decided to follow me and invade my personal space, so much so that I knew if I began to run, that would have triggered him to run after me. When I told him to "f*ck off" he became extremely aggresive and waited for me outside a shop where I went to for safety. Fortunately some local women saw what he was doing, told him they would call the police and also offered to walk with me as the threat of police did not deter him from continuing to harass and threaten me. This was an extremely distressing situation, where again, I drew on Briony's teachings to help me to recover from the trauma, as Briony had advised us in her sessions, I breathed through the feelings of distress after the situation, fully acknowledged that I was feeling angry, was loving and patient with myself and allowed my body to physically feel the emotional distress I was experiencing. I can confidently say that Briony's kindness in facilitating regular breathwork sessions before our cold water dips has equipped me with a habitual ability to draw on her teachings in order to handle traumatic situations like these.

Thank you so much Briony, you are helping us more than you will ever know! xxx

I’d not come across breathwork before I joined in a session Briony was offering. I had given traditional meditation/mindfulness courses a go in the past but struggled to see an impact outside the sessions. Briony's sessions have introduced me to a way into mindfulness that feels more authentic. Her reassuring approach is great if you're new to breathwork or a bit unsure of what to expect and I always felt like she was really responsive to different personalities in the group and the approach they needed.

I've always been someone who is busy thinking or doing and struggled with slowing down enough to reflect on what I actually need or want to make progress on, big and small. Before breathwork I'd also never realised how disconnected I was from my body and how I was feeling, or even how important this is. The sessions with Briony have really helped me to find that mental space to to tune in to and make progress on what matters and just generally be more mindful about what I want and need. Cheers Briony!

I’m lucky enough to have enjoyed many a breath work session with Briony before cold water dipping together. Every time I feel it is such an absolute gift, so generously shared. She creates such a beautiful, totally accessible space, whether you’re a breath work pro or have never done it before!

She is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and yet very humble in that. Any time spent in her sessions will leave your soul replenished. She’s also introduced me to some beautiful music! ? Thank you Briony! xxx

I have been coached and mentored by Briony over the last couple of years in a number of different ways.

Firstly as a mentor on my breathwork training, followed by a 7 month group mindset coaching and 3 months of 1-1 business coaching.

Briony is a highly intuitive coach, who leads by example and shows you exactly what is achievable in life, providing practical tools and wisdom to make positive mindset and habit shifts.

She is highly personable and relatable through her own experience of life and is unafraid of leaning into the sticky stuff that holds us back.

Not only is Briony a brilliant coach but she has become an awesome friend too.

I have been on a profound journey through Briony's coaching. She has guided, supported and coached me on a level that I've never experienced before.
She helped me dismantle some real deep and old limiting beliefs about myself and held my hand all the way through. Always supporting me, always seeing me and hearing me which in itself has been absolutely life changing, literally! We had so much fun too!
I'm so glad I took the leap of faith to work with her and I cannot recommend her work enough! Briony has so much integrity and passion in her work and she is somebody I really respect and aspire to!
These words really don't do it justice but if you're hearing the call to work with her, DO IT! you will not be disappointed, I promise!!
