I had only been doing the breathwork course for just over a week. I was flying on a very dark, windy night over the sea. I was focusing on my instruments but could feel the tension building reducing my capacity. Recognising this and consciously correcting my breathing helped me to relax into the situation and concentrate on my instrument scan. The additional mental space I acquired by using a breath technique even gave space for a more supportive pattern of thinking to emerge.

Having struggled with what I saw as a decreasing capacity to manage complex tasks, Mel spoke to me about elements of burnout and the connection to breathing. Having enrolled on the course I understood that I had become very shallow in my breathing and even just rectifying this has given me back my energy and my capacity to deal with stressful and complex situations. Mel has a real depth of understanding and passion for what she does and the whole range of breathing techniques covered in this course cover every element of life from sleep to stress and performance. I can’t recommend this course more highly and Mel is always on hand to assist!

Melina’s breathwork course has been a delight. There are two audio tracks per day, one more theoretical, and one more practical. I found the theoretical audios clear and very interesting, and the practical ones calm and engaging.
I started this course to be able to tackle stress and anxiety and I learned a lot, including what big part the breath plays in such emotional states. I hadn’t realised for example that I tended to hold my breath or breathe very fast in tense situations, which can exacerbate the problem.
Now I feel that my breath is slower and calmer than at the beginning of the course, I see stress as a challenge, not an insurmountable obstacle, and I’ve started using my breath as a tool to navigate tense situations.
Of course it is still work in progress, but that is why having lifelong access to this course is invaluable and I am excited to see where this breathwork journey will take me. As Melina says, trust the process and stick to it: she is absolutely right, and I urge everybody to try this course!

Fix Your Breathing is a brilliantly designed 31-day audio breathwork course that offers a structured yet flexible approach to enhancing well-being.
The course provides short, actionable recordings that make it easy to stay consistent, even for those with busy schedules.
A key highlight of this course is Melina, who is a wonderful and inspiring breath work teacher. Her guidance is clear, supportive, and engaging, making each lesson feel approachable and effective. She brings a wealth of inspiration, knowledge and a calm, encouraging presence that helps build confidence in breathwork practices. The course itself is incredibly well-rounded, covering stress management, emotional regulation, focus, creativity, posture, digestion, and burnout prevention. The amazing digital workbook offers thought-provoking prompts to deepen learning, links to extra studies and articles and helpful notes to support you with what you have just learnt. The printable progress tracker is also a great resource to help maintain motivation.
I found the exercises both easy to follow and deeply impactful. Over time, I have experienced noticeable improvements in my focus, stress levels, and overall energy.
I now feel my supportive toolkit has expanded so I have plenty of beneficial and valuable ways to support myself through breath work.
If you’re looking for a practical and inspiring way to incorporate breathwork into your life, Fix Your Breathing is a fantastic choice—thanks to Melina’s expert teaching and the thoughtfully designed structure of the course that you can do at your own pace.
Many thanks to Melina.

I recently completed the 31-day self-led online audio course, “Fix Your Breathing,” and I can confidently say it has been a transformative experience. This insightful and practical program has helped me cultivate a heightened awareness of my breathing patterns and its impact on my mental, emotional, and physical well-being has given me a renewed appreciation for the power of breathwork.
It has become an essential part of my daily self-care practice, whether to centre myself during a busy day, access a state of flow for enhanced creativity, or a longer session of Conscious Connected Breathwork. I am now better equipped to handle whatever comes my way.
Melina’s guidance is clear, compassionate, and empowering, and the lessons I’ve learned will stay with me. This experience has truly been a gift, and I am excited to continue my journey with breathwork long after the course has concluded. Thank you, Melina, for this wonderful experience!

Something really powerful happened during Day 15 of Melina’s breathwork course. The theme was creativity, and I sat down with a pen and paper as suggested. I’ve written two versions of a book called Seagulls & Secrets, all about Poole Harbour and sustainable travel, but during the breathwork, something clicked.
I visualised dropping a piece of my book into the harbour like a water droplet, and watched the ripples spreading outward. I suddenly realised: this book has a message that wants to move through me and I just need to follow it. What followed was a burst of clarity and expression I hadn’t experienced before. I wrote in a way I never had, honest, genuine, and connected to the deeper ‘why’ behind my work.
Within hours, I found myself reaching out to a local bookshop that had previously turned me down. This time, I didn’t just pitch the book, I shared what it means to me, how it connects to Dorset and sustainability and they accepted it! I truly believe the breathing exercise unlocked something in me.
