Calm The Mind, Regulate The Nervous System. Transform Your Life.
Hi Im Gina, Welcome to the Wellness Space, For much of my life I operated in survival mode. Growing up, I learned to focus on getting through, staying strong and putting the needs of others before my own. Like many people, I became highly attuned to everything happening around me, while gradually losing connection with what was happening within me.
For years, I believed stress, overthinking and constantly pushing forward were simply part of life. It wasn’t until I began exploring yoga, breath work, nervous system regulation and self-awareness that I realised how much of my life had been shaped by old patterns rather than conscious choice.
Yoga gave me a way to reconnect with my body, quieten the constant chatter of my mind and become more present. Breath work taught me that something as simple as the way we breathe can influence how safe, calm and grounded we feel. This is why, for me, yoga has never been about achieving the perfect pose or being the most flexible person in the room. It is about creating space to pause, listen to yourself and release some of the physical and emotional tension we carry through life.
The more I understood the relationship between the mind, body and nervous system, the more I recognised how many of us are living on autopilot—repeating familiar behaviours, reacting from old beliefs and spending much of our lives caught up in our thoughts.
Talking and understanding our experiences can be incredibly valuable, but insight alone doesn’t always reach the stress, emotion and protective patterns that may still be held within the body.
My approach brings together yoga, breath work, therapeutic coaching, somatic practices, nervous system regulation and inner-child work. Rather than focusing solely on thoughts or symptoms, we gently explore the connection between the mind, body and the experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and respond to life.
By blending these different approaches, I help people begin to calm their nervous system, change unhelpful thought and behavioural patterns, reconnect with themselves and build greater self-trust.
Because you are far more than your thoughts, your past or the story you have learned to tell yourself.
Whether you come to The Wellness Space for yoga, emotional wellbeing or more personal therapeutic support, everything I offer is centred around helping you feel calmer, more connected and more empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
When our nervous system is dysregulated, it can leave us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. At The Wellness Space, we offer practical tools and embodied practices to help you restore balance, build resilience, and reconnect with your inner world. Through breathwork, movement, and mindful habits, you’ll learn how to support your nervous system and create lasting change from the inside out.
Feel calmer, more balanced, and in control through nervous system regulation.
Focusing is a gentle yet powerful technique developed by Eugene Gendlin. It helps you tune into your inner world and access deep intuition. By creating space for the subconscious and repressed emotions, it offers time to understand yourself with compassion. Focusing provides a structured way to listen beyond thoughts, where healing begins. Trauma isn’t just what happened to us, but how it lives within us. When met with presence and care, those inner experiences can begin to transform

The Wellness Space recently opened Torquay’s first hot yoga studio, offering the full Bikram sequence. Practised in a heated room, this structured series of 26 postures is designed to support the body in opening safely and deeply. The consistent heat softens muscles and increases circulation, making it easier to access postures that might otherwise feel out of reach. With its precise, repeatable format, Bikram yoga builds strength, flexibility, and focus offering a powerful foundation for both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Working with your inner child invites deep emotional repair. By gently reconnecting with this part of yourself, you can begin to release old wounds, shift limiting beliefs, and cultivate self-compassion. This work helps you feel safer, more whole, and empowered to respond to life with greater clarity and ease.
Yin Yoga
A calming and deeply restorative practice that supports the body in releasing long held tension and the mind in finding stillness. Yin works with long held postures, allowing you to soften into each shape and access deeper layers of connective tissue and fascia.
Your brain is not fixed. It is adaptable, responsive, and capable of profound change. Through a process known as neuroplasticity, the brain can create new neurons, rewire old pathways, and form new connections throughout life.
Through intentional practices like breathwork, somatic therapy, challenging limiting beliefs, nourishing lifestyle shifts, and focused reflection, we activate this innate capacity for transformation. By gently interrupting habitual responses and introducing new, supportive experiences, we begin to rewire the pathways that shape how we think, feel, and respond.This work is not just about changing your thoughts. It is about changing your felt experience of yourself and learning how to live from a place of connection, safety, and self trust.
Learning To Breathe For Better Physical & Emotional Health
The way you breathe affects how you feel moment to moment. Shallow, fast breathing can signal stress and keep the body stuck in survival mode. Deep, steady breathing tells your system it is safe to slow down, let go, and begin to heal.
Breathwork is a simple yet powerful practice that uses conscious breathing to support physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing. Drawing from both ancient traditions and modern therapeutic approaches, it helps regulate the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring you back into connection with your body.
When practiced regularly, breathwork can help lower blood pressure, improve sleep, strengthen immunity, and support the release of stored stress or trauma. It activates the body’s natural relaxation response, helping to shift you out of fight or flight and into a state of rest and repair.
