I’m Ali, a trauma-informed, conscious connected breathwork faciliatior, based in South West London.

My path into breathwork began when medical test results showed the impact stress was having on my body, despite living what I believed was a healthy lifestyle. I was sleeping well, exercising, eating well, and building a successful corporate career. Like many people, I didn’t think I was “that stressed.” But my body told a different story.

At first, I approached breathwork from a practical and scientific perspective. Coming from a corporate background, I was sceptical, but also curious. Learning about the nervous system and working with simple breathing practices created noticeable shifts. Over time, I realised I wasn’t just managing stress, I was beginning to understand myself in a deeper way.

Conscious Connected Breathwork became a turning point. It helped me recognise and release long-standing patterns, reconnect with my body, and develop a sense of internal safety and regulation I hadn’t experienced before. My training with Intuitive Breathwork UK was not only professional development, but a deeply personal journey that supported me in rebuilding self-trust and stepping out of cycles that had kept me disconnected from myself.

I founded Meraki Somatics as a space where others can experience this same opportunity for reconnection. “Meraki” means to do something with soul and care, which reflects how I hold space for each person I work with. My approach is trauma-informed, grounded, and respectful of each individual’s pace and experience.

I believe the breath is a powerful guide back to ourselves. It has the ability to gently reveal, release, and restore balance.

It would be an honour to support you in reconnecting with yourself and discovering what is possible through your breath.
