Evolve Breath & Body

Hi,

I’m Natalie Keany, The founder of Evolve Breath & Body.

Evolve Breath & Body Therapeutic Breathwork is the merging of 15 years of experience in the field of healing arts and a lifetime of personal exploration. It is a culmination of embodiment and breathwork practices, inspired by my personal experience of integrating the imprint of developmental trauma.

I began my journey into self-healing after experiencing extreme anxiety, depression and addictions in my 20’s. It wasn’t until several years later that I realised I was carrying an imprint of trauma from childhood experiences. Despite these extremely challenging early years, something in me always believed that within each of us, there is an enormous capacity to heal and evolve in a holistic and safe way.

My experience with Breathwork…

My first experience of Breathwork was in 2013, Goa, India with the Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma Release Institute. It was here that I discovered the language and wisdom of my own body and how it communicates with me in every moment. I was able to process emotions which I had been holding onto for a lifetime. Breathwork had such a phenomenal and lasting impact on my own life that it became clear to me that I needed to learn and share this work with others.

I continued to train with Giten Tonkov, the founder of The Biodynamic Breathwork and Trauma release Institute. From there I became an assistant and co-teacher on his trainings worldwide. Alongside Evolve Breath & Body, it is my honour to continue to work with the BBTR Institute as a training facilitator.

Aside from BBTRS, I have participated in several other breath orientated trainings, learning from some of the most highly respected breathwork practitioners in the Western world -

I am continuously learning how to further support others in utilising the breath to support the body, mind and spirit, regardless of age, circumstances or physical ability.

I offer 1:1 sessions, retreats, trainings, workshops and corporate events in Breathwork, often combined with a complementary body of work such as yoga, TRE or artistic expression. All events and sessions are held with a trauma-informed approach. I also offer sessions which specifically support those who have been diagnosed with cancer.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey of integration and transformation soon……

Acknowledgements & Gratitude

Deep gratitude to those of you who have joined me in events and sessions across the globe. Your trust and commitment to self is a constant inspiration. I offer my sincere appreciation to all the teachers and co-facilitators I have had the opportunity to work with, heal with and continue to learn from. Thank you to Mother Nature, you are a constant resource in my life. To my friends and family who continue to cheer me on in my vision…. I could not be doing this without your loving support. And finally, a very necessary acknowledgement and appreciation goes to my experience of trauma. Trauma itself has been my greatest teacher, and ultimately the gift which guided me to share this work.
