My first training was in Counselling in my early 20’s. I loved working with people as they nutted out issues that were troubling them. I went deeper into the process of working with people and explored various modalities of training in Psychotherapy. I came across Breathwork in the mid 80’s and found it to be both powerful and transformational.
I have worked with the Breath and the Mind ever since. I completed an initial Breathwork 6 month course in 1986. I have since studied the Breath and Breathwork techniques internationally and found out all I could about working with the Breath psychotherapeutically. I completed several years of intensive training in the USA and Europe. I have also done extensive training in Family Constellation work.
Breathwork is incorporated into my general practice as a key component of healing and exploration. There are many ways in which Breathwork may benefit my clients. Most important of all is that it opens them up to their deeper self and enables insights that are beyond the mental plane.
Breathwork cleans out the internal energy pipes, you might say, and leaves one a place of clarity and peace.

I was introduced to Breathwork in 2007 unexpectedly.

I have a Private Practice based in Mount Pleasant, Christchurch and offer private sessions from ‘Cherish’ in central Christchurch also. For general bookings and personalised Residential wellness retreats based in Mount Pleasant please visit the website.
Services offered:

Available both in person(preferred) and online for personal breathwork sessions.
I use breathwork to connect more deeply with my true inner voice. Life can be busy and we get lost, so this is how I stay in touch.
I use the breath technique as a tool to calm the mind and body and become mindful throughout my day. This has hugely increased both physical and mental well-being.
We can use breathwork to become aware of unconscious patterns that are causing negative results in our life. This gives a sense of being able to make different choices and changes, which contributes to more peace and wellness and a better life.

Thank you for the wonderful work you do. I am receiving such good feedback from those patients that I send your way. Those that attend sessions with you speak highly of the benefits they gain.

I found Louise’s coaching extremely helpful. She is a beautiful, kind & gentle soul, who puts so much love and empathy into her work. She created an environment where I felt safe & secure & by doing so I was able to breathe into areas that I had never been able to before & release years of suppressed pain & emotion. I would encourage anyone who is thinking of doing breath work with her to go for it, you won’t regret it at all!

Louise will listen carefully to everything you have to say and think deeply before she gives you coaching. She will call you to be a better person, not letting you wallow in any old patterns, or self pity. She will tell you how it is in the kindest way possible. She will make you laugh, and let you cry. She helps you believe your life can be better in every way, and helps you find the next step to get there.

I worked with Louise for a little over a year seeing her regularly as my breathwork practitioner and coach. I have to say, of all the healing modalities I’ve tried during the last two decades, breathwork has by far allowed me to shift many unconscious beliefs and stuck energy. Louise is a talented facilitator who brings compassion, deep insight & wisdom, and neutrality to her work. I looked forward to my sessions with her and was always awed by what revealed itself. I’ve had such life changing & lasting outcomes from breathwork that I’m now studying to become a facilitator myself.

My experience in breath works with Louise has been a wonderful and powerful experience. Breathwork enables you to get to the bottom of issues and Louise’s knowledge and skills make this process a very valuable and rewarding experience.

I’ve found Louise to be an excellent listener, when I have been having a breathwork session with her. Louise is great at making me feel right at home to just rattle out all the garbage inside, (so to speak). This is good, as this way we get to the root of the problem before we start our breathwork session. Because of this at the end of the session I have more of a sense of clarity, followed by an inner peace. I would recommend Louise to anyone who is searching for that inner peace, by following their own heart!
Ben
I have been seeing Louise over the past 3 months having just arrived in NZ from the UK. It was amazing how quickly she narrowed down where my issues stemmed from & how she incorporated the breath work into addressing them. Louise’s professional yet compassionate manner makes each session an absolute joy and one leaves feeling happier and with great hope about life in general. I feel ready to put my energy into what really matters to me, rather than what I think other people expect of me.
I came to Louise after research the healing power of breath as I had come to a junction in my life where there needed to be some changes. Louise taught me the methods of breathing through the emotional reactions to the changes and how to experience them without attachment. I would recommend Louise to anyone wishing to enhance their journey through positive change.
Hello, Kia ora.
I trained in this beautiful modality 24 years ago. As a result I have healed from depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder, along with a dysfunctional lifestyle formed from many traumatic events.
Breathwork will help reveal feelings you didn’t know existed, and help you resolve issues at a deep core level. Talking helps, but Breathwork reveals that which is in your unconscious and drives your everyday responses and experiences. Body awareness and breathing is one simplicity of breathwork.
I have qualifications in Adult Teaching, Counselling, Life Coaching and Employment Consultancy. My life experience enables me to support you with deeply personal challenges and guide you to the path of full health.
I offer both individual and group sessions. Both are creative, enjoyable experiences. Themes can be tailormade for all types of groups, including corporate. Breathwork has many different applications.
Contact me to have a no obligation chat.
It would be my honour to guide and support you to experience this wonderful holistic therapy.
Warm wishes, Nga mihi nui.

Testimonials
Cornelia is a fantastic practitioner. She is professional and approachable. After two sessions of Breathwork with Cornelia, I can confirm some very profound changes within myself. After the first session, I had a happier overall sense in my daily life and much less addiction toward alcohol and over eating. I look forward to following up with more sessions.
Renee, Health Practitioner
I have attended several of Cornelia’s recent group breathwork sessions, and have found them very informative and helpful and insightful in creating positive energy shifts for myself. Cornelia’s presentation and presence is calm, supportive and reassuring during these sessions. I feel I have benefitted immensely from my time spent with Cornelia.
Sue, Group Participant
Cornelia provided a safe, calm, and supportive space for me to create a positive energy shift in myself. I found the breathwork session revitalizing and insightful. I felt very trusting of the whole experience.
Suzanne
Since seeing you I feel so much more positive, so much so that I have discovered I can draw! For the first time in a long time, I have felt social and alive. Life is really, really good. Thank you again.
Charlie
I attended Cornelia’s Breathwork workshop with an open heart and a curious mind but what unfolded was one of the most profound and unforgettable experiences of my life. Cornelia held space for me throughout my ‘journey’ and instinctively knew how to support the process. Even though at times I was unable to communicate she had the ability to intuitively know what I was experiencing and how to respond. I am really looking forward to having a follow up session.
Rebecca
I experienced debilitating anxiety and OCD, to the point it was very challenging to leave my house. After several sessions of breathwork with Cornelia, I gained the confidence to leave my house more often and eventually got a part time job. Amazingly, I even went travelling! My teenage son also had some sessions with Cornelia as he had been affected by my OCD. He is also now much more confident. We have a normal life thanks to the sessions we had. Cornelia was calming and reassuring and just seemed to know what I needed. I learnt so much about myself. Breathwork has been life changing. Thank you so much.
