Joshua Alexander
Joshua is an experienced advanced breathwork practitioner, specialising in individual and group facilitation since 2018. His passion is to help people recognize the power of their breath as a therapeutic tool and spiritual practice, promoting awareness, growth and compassion.
Having explored a variety of meditation, breathwork, and nature-based healing practices worldwide, Joshua has developed a deep understanding and respect for different therapeutic and spiritual traditions. His practice is influenced by rebirthing, Holotropic and shamanic breathwork, bioenergetics, Vipassana meditation, process-orientated and transpersonal psychology, holistic and somatic psychotherapy, nature-based shamanic practices and Yogic spiritual traditions. He has worked with highly regarded breathwork practitioners worldwide, attended sacred ceremonies with Ecuadorian/Kitchwan shamans in the Amazon, meditated in the Himalayas, immersed himself in Indian ashrams, and regularly participates in nature-based shamanic practices, such as Vision Quests and plant-medicine ceremonies.
Joshua is a proud member of the LGBTIQ+ community with roots in rural Australia and has a deep connection to the wisdom and healing potential of the Earth. He uses breathwork as an eco-relational practice to help people come into a right relationship with the natural world and all its beings. He assists people in integrating altered-state experiences, accessing their power and internal wisdom, and releasing and rewiring self-limiting beliefs and doctrines. He also helps people process trauma, anxiety, depression, pain, grief, and shame and supports those curious about life-meaning questions and spirituality in all its variations.
Amber Nomchong
Amber Nomchong (affectionately referred to as Bam), is a transformational facilitator with a deep interest in the therapeutic and psycho-spiritual capacity of Breathwork, nature immersion, intentional healing gatherings and various embodiment practices.
Amber’s interest in transformational work is a no BS approach. She is powerfully gentle, playful and firmly grounded. She is not interested in approaches that look good on paper but ultimately lack integrity, heart and impact.
Amber has been practicing therapeutic and transpersonal Breathwork for over nine years in addition to teaching and facilitating various embodied and somatic movement practices for over 20 more. More recently she has become fascinated by using the deep body-verse and breath as a portal to personal and community healing, growth, transformation and remembering the deepest essences of this whole humaning experience.
Her influences are transpersonal Breathwork, process oriented psychology, shamanic and Holotrophic Breathwork, 5rhythms conscious dance, deep nature connection processes, somatic and holistic psychotherapy, martial arts and intuitive bodywork. She offers individual and group Breathwork journeys, various women and teen embodiment and empowerment retreats and workshops, holistic wellness coaching as well as family based rewilding immersions and practices.
Amber is passionate about using deep body based and altered state modalities to support people to connect with their inner nature, to come home to themselves, reclaim their sense of belonging and find space to live a vital, conscious and wholehearted life.
