My enthusiasm for and belief in the potency of the Breathwork process have kept me facilitating change with clients using this modality for more than thirty years. I help to identify unconscious patterns and ‘drivers’, integrate that emotional energy and then choose a more productive and satisfying way forward.I have been a full member of the NZAB Inc since its inception in the early 1990’s. I have completed many Rebirthing and Breathwork trainings in the last 30 years, including training with The LRT International Rebirthing School, Colin Sisson (NZ) and Sondra Ray (International).
I have trained in Counselling and also offer Coaching combined with Breathwork for extraordinary results.
I work in Tauranga and in the Bay of Plenty, NZ, for face-to-face sessions. Please enquire also about online one-to-one sessions for other parts of NZ and worldwide.
- Breathwork/Rebirthing supports my clients to reclaim their personal power in situations where they feel disempowered.
- Breathwork assists in providing tools to connect clients with the gifts that challenges offer.
- Breathwork supports clients to know and act on that which is really important to them.
- Breathwork is a very effective tool for managing anxiety and any other persistent or challenging emotional energy.

Tena Koutou Katoa – Greetings to all
Firstly, I wish to introduce myself by honouring my diverse ancestral heritage. I have a deep connection with the Earth Mother “Papatuanuku”. My Maori (Ngai Tahu), Afghani, Persian and European ancestry have profoundly influenced me. I consider myself a universalist and a humanitarian by nature. In my long-time dedication to the healing and evolution of the human soul, I have encouraged and supported many people, of all ages and cultures, on their personal healing journeys. I wish to honour my two Spiritual Teachers who assist me and guide me on my own life journey. Spiritually I do not seek to impart ‘religion’ merely to share universal spiritual consciousness through the breath, so that an individual may resource their own faith in LIFE.
My living Mother teacher is Mata Amritanandamayi, known throughout the world as Amma “The Hugging Saint”. She acknowledges Her religion as Love. My ascended Father teacher is Shiva Mahavatar Babaji whose teachings were Truth, Simplicity, Love and Service to mankind.
On a personal level, I am the mother of an adult daughter (gifted Art Teacher) who lives in Wellington. And I am blessed to have one sweet grandson via my daughter. I also have a talented, creative son living in Takaka, Golden Bay. One of my life challenges was the loss of a son who passed into spirit at the age of 23 in 2003. I was also good friends with my ex-husband (18 yr marriage) who passed over into spirit in 2018. I also had a long-term loving relationship with a female partner from the UK who worked as a Natural Healthcare practitioner too. She was a wonderful step-mum to my children.
I have been a Professional Member of the NZ Association of Breathworkers Inc since its inception and have also had a long-term involvement with the Natural Health Practitioners of New Zealand Inc whose mission is to support and promote effective Natural Healthcare through a network of registered Professional Practitioners.
I have worked in the field of Personal Development since 1987 and initially trained in Rebirthing with New Zealander, Colin P Sisson who authored a world classic on Rebirthing ‘Rebirthing Made Easy‘.
Below are some of the other complementary healthcare trainings, workshops and spiritual journeys and teachings I have experienced and / or trained in. They have all influenced my expression as a Rebirther / Breathworker / Breathwork Trainer / Personal Development Consultant.
- Loving Relationships Training with Sondra Ray (Mother of Rebirthing) in 1988 and later in 2010, 2012.
- Divine Mother Festival at the ashram of Babaji annually between 2006 & 2012 in the Himalaya’s India with Sondra Ray on “India Quest”.
- Non Violent Communication – the work of the late Marshall B. Rosenberg, PhD. People who practice NVC have found greater authenticity in their communication, increased understanding, deepening connection and conflict resolution.
- Family Constellations Therapy – Profound work introduced in Europe by the late Bert Hellinger supporting the restoration of the “order of love in families”. I utilise the consciousness of this work in most of my one-to-one sessions with clients. Link above to Angelika Chisholm, Facilitator of Family Systems Constellations NZ.
- Soul Yoga 1990 – 1994. This was a personal dedication to self of 2 hours daily inner-guided movement meditation which I undertook for 4 years. This led me to being able to “hear” my own soul and later to be able to tune into the soul of another person.
- I incorporate the principles of Cranial Sacral Therapy in my work – allowing and unwinding. CST is a gentle and subtle whole-body approach to the human experience.
- Student of A Course in Miracles – A unique, universal, self-study spiritual thought system that teaches that the way to Love and Inner Peace is through Forgiveness.
- Reiki NZ Inc – Reiki is a natural, vibrational, hands-on healing practice which utilises the presence of universal life force energy to support the body’s self healing ability.
- Secretary of Amma New Zealand Inc for 4 years (2013 to 2017 inclusive) and Organiser /Co-ordinator of many spiritual events & programmes, some with visiting overseas Teachers.
- Pre-Conference Retreat Co-ordinator for AIMA NZ March 2020.
I look forward to meeting anyone who may choose to seek my services to support them on their path of awakening and self-healing. My focus with all of my clients and students, is to support them on their journey, with a compassionate heart.

Kia Ora! Namaste!
I am a Trained Counsellor and Breathwork Practitioner with experience working with clients in both India, and New Zealand. My Professional journey began with training in Counselling Psychology, later expanding into Breathwork and other Somatic healing modalities. This integrative approach allows me to support clients holistically: physically, mentally, emotionally, socially and spiritually.
My own healing journey began in 2017, when I experienced a significant life challenge that brought deep self-awareness, but also a sense of being stuck in old patterns. Recovering from a life-threatening injury led me to confront past trauma and long-held emotions. It was through the combination of Counselling and Breathwork that I found a path to inner freedom – releasing emotional and physical baggage, transforming limiting beliefs and moving forward with greater clarity and resilience.
My own personal transformation has assisted my work with clients, allowing me to support them on their own journey toward healing and empowerment.
I endeavour to offer therapy and coaching sessions in a compassionate, non-judgmental manner. This usually assists people to explore their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, past experiences and often supports them to establish healthy goals.
I am experienced in working with emotional regulation, stress and anxiety management, life transitions, sexual trauma recovery, inner child work, relationship issues, immigration-related stress, cultural adjustment and in strengthening self-worth.
My intention is that our work together will be collaborative, and in turn, assist you in navigating life’s challenges and ultimately move you towards greater well-being.
- Masters in Counselling Psychology MSc.
- Professional Rebirthing Breathwork Training at Prajna Wisdom Centre.
- Also I have been involved in Inner Child Healing, Emotional Freedom Technique, Non Violent Communication and Family Constellation workshops.

You have helped me heal in such a beautiful and gentle manner. I am eternally grateful to you. I sincerely feel that God intervened when I sought a change of facilitator for my sessions and you were assigned.
Art and Crafts teacher, India
It was a really great experience that I had. My body felt lighter, and I learnt how to manage my emotions.
Finance Professional, Muscat
Sruthi’s Breathwork sessions are something to look forward to. I have found them very effective and invaluable. I have not missed any of my sessions and after each one, I felt good and even euphoric. When I go with the flow of a session, I find it easy to form a new habit. I would be happy to refer her to anyone interested, in a heartbeat!
IT Professional, USA
I witnessed what presence truly is in your facilitation. Thank you for picking up on what I was needing and helping me move beyond what I was going through.
English Teacher, India
Sruthi helped me look at situations from an empathetic perspective, one I never thought could exist. Understanding the root cause of my issues, along with comprehending the other person involved, brought about a significant change in the way I dealt with a particular issue, whether domestic or professional.
