Hello, my name is Deb Williams of One Breath Well-being.
I am a restorative breathing coach who is polyvagal (theory) informed. My principal discipline is teaching breathing re-education and training people in the Buteyko Breathing Method. I did my training through Buteyko Clinic International with Patrick McKeown, completing my certification in March 2023.
I offer my work to adults, teenagers, and children with breathing pattern disorders such as asthma, COPD, sleep disorders, sleep apnoea, panic disorder, anxiety, depression, long COVID, and to help gain general well-being.
I am based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, UK.
I offer virtual one-to-one and group session training. I can also offer in-person training if a potential client is local to me.
I have amassed over 30 years of invaluable experience in the realm of health and well-being. Currently, I serve as a part-time Bereavement Support Worker. I recently transitioned to this new role after dedicating 18 years to working as a drug and alcohol recovery worker. My journey in the health industry began in the realm of fitness in 1993, and I steadily progressed to become an Exercise Specialist (NHS) specialising in mental health.
I hold multiple certifications that showcase my diverse skill set. As well as being a certified Buteyko Breathing Instructor, I have earned a diploma in Forest Bathing (Shinrin-Yoku) and am a qualified Mindfulness teacher. I have a passion for nature and am a certified Nature Connection & Natural Mindfulness Guide. Nature holds a special place in my heart, and I deeply appreciate its therapeutic benefits.
Drawing from my training in the Buteyko Breathing Method and mindfulness, I like to combine these practices with nature connection and physical activity to enhance my own physical and mental well-being.
I am a registered member of The Complementary Medical Association, Buteyko Clinic International, and The Peoples Health Alliance.
