JOURNEY TO BECOME YOUR OWN MEDICINE
BECOME YOUR OWN MEDICINE
Online | 2hrs each Tuesday | 6wks
Understand your nervous system from a PIONEERING new and natural perspective. Support your health, gain emotional regulation and resilience. From the inside out.
Why becoming your own medicine really works
Our nervous system is at the very core of how we feel each day. It controls everything from our immunity and digestion, to our endocrine and muscular systems, and yet few people turn their attention to the nervous system when they’re looking to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
It’s simply not on most people’s radar, when the reality is it should be our number one priority. Becoming your own medicine is about learning to listen to your nervous system, understand it, and give it what it needs. It works because you are addressing issues at the root.
What you will get in a nutshell
On this journey you will learn tools that you can easily incorporate into your daily life, techniques that will empower you to heal trauma and strengthen your emotional resilience. We all have to deal with the stresses and strains of life, the highs and lows, but now you’ll have the techniques you need to navigate your way more smoothly.
NO MORE DRAMA. How do you like the sound of that? Aaah, bliss. Then, from that calm and oh-so-untriggered place you can get down to the business of reaching more of your full potential and becoming who you would truly love to be.
Full course content
Our body is constantly sending information to us, information that would help us feel so much better, if only we were able to hear and act on it. Most of us have forgotten how to tune in. That’s why our journey centres around RECONNECTING WITH OURSELVES.
We do this primarily through conscious connected breathing, sound, body awareness and movement practices that work by beautifully interrupting our unhelpful, habitual thoughts and behaviours; creating a new space within us, new possibilities.

About Elif Clarke
Elif Clarke MSc is also known as ‘The Breath Psychologist’. A Breath Psychologist is
exactly what it says on the tin. I study the way you breathe – your inhale, exhale, the volume of your breath and more – and use all the information that your breathing pattern gives me to pinpoint where in your body you are holding tension and trauma.
Your breath even gives me insights into the nature of that trauma, the emotions you are experiencing, and the underlying beliefs that are likely shaping your world – often unconsciously. With this newfound awareness I partner with and transform your breath, restoring your natural and optimal breathing pattern, the one you had as a small baby. In doing so a layer of trauma is released and permanently resolved. Yes, permanently.
Becoming The Breath Psychologist was a long road, but a worthwhile one that has brought me great career satisfaction and the privilege of helping so many people from all walks of life. After graduating with a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology I worked within the National Health Service for over twenty years, as a Psychologist and BACP registered Cognitive Behavioural Therapist. I specialised in clients suffering from complex trauma, PTSD, painful flashbacks, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, alongside many other psychological problems. At this stage of my journey my work was focused on the mind, a key component in our overall health. Yet I found myself drawn to studying the body. I wanted a better understanding of the role it has to play in our well being. I decided to train in Yoga Nidra, a mindful and meditative movement practice that induces deep states of relaxation. Yoga Nidra also includes powerful yogic breathing techniques, from which I experienced profound benefits.
In 2004 I gained my yoga teaching qualification, but more importantly also gained a renewed appreciation for the way the human body can integrate psychological and physical trauma, shift deeply rooted beliefs and behaviours – and ultimately heal itself. It was around this time I stumbled across an article in a magazine about Transformational Breath®. It explained how each and everyone of us unconsciously holds our breath to avoid feeling painful emotions, and how over the years this can become habitual, causing and exasperating a whole host of physical and mental ailments and conditions. When we breathe using the Transformational Breath® technique, we can access the trauma that by this point in time has become stored in our cellular memory. Through breathing in the correct way we allow anything that no longer serves us to come to the surface, to be processed gently and safely – without any need to talk. I was captivated by the idea that so much could be achieved in perfect silence, without the need to re-hash painful stories.
I followed what I felt was ‘my calling’ and enrolled for professional training in this pioneering therapy. In time I became a certified Facilitator, then continued my education all the way to Senior Trainer level. Today I am one of just a handful of Senior Trainer’s worldwide, appointed by Dr. Judith Kravitz, creator of the Transformational Breath® Foundation and a revered influential healthcare professional in this space. You might like to know that I have used Transformational Breath® in my own life, to manage and relieve the symptoms I experience as someone who encountered childhood polio. I have also used ‘the breath’ to navigate emotional challenges and upheavals. It’s these personal, positive experiences that have made me such a believer in this modality. My intuition is integral to my work. When I work with a client my entire focus is on them. I hold the intention to connect with them, their energy, and always visualize the highest potentials for them. For me this energetic exchange is important.
I am an integrated practitioner with a truly holistic approach to my work. Not only do I blend my expertise in mind and body, I involve soul and spirit in everything I do. I am a highly intuitive person and am fortunate to be able to ‘see’ and sense underlying dis-ease, meaning I can get to it quickly and engage at the level of root causes. I have nurtured and developed this gift of intuition further through my love of spiritual practices, such as Soul Retrieval and Shamanic Healing, which I also bring to my work at the client’s request.
