Testimonials 

Hear from people who have benefited from my services

"Ashwini at Breathe for Transformation offered our Friends in Need group a wonderful session called 'Connecting the Body with Breath'.  Friends in Need is a peer support group for those experiencing mental health issues.. Ashwini was fantastic. She offered us a 1 hour and half interactive and practical session of how we can connect our bodies with breath.. Ashwini kept in mind the different levels of mobility in the group and catered the session to this, so members were able to sit, stand and stretch in ways that felt comfortable with them. Thank you Ashwini - we look forward to working with you again in the future. Highly recommend!
