Breathwork Thornbury with Mike at Onaya. Somatic therapy, breathwork, bodywork and sound for people who want to stop reacting on autopilot and start responding with presence.

Breathwork Thornbury: working with the body, not just the mind

Breathwork is one of the most direct ways to work with the nervous system. Rather than talking about what happens when you feel triggered, we use the breath to meet those patterns in the body, where they actually live.

What happens in a breathwork session

In a breathwork session you are guided through a conscious, connected breathing pattern while lying down in a safe, quiet space. As the breath deepens, held tension, emotion and old protective responses can start to surface and move. Mike guides the pace the whole time, so you stay aware, in control and supported.

You remain aware, in control and supported throughout, and every session is tailored to you. Learn more about our breathwork 1:1 sessions.

Who breathwork is for

Breathwork suits people who have done a lot of thinking and self reflection, but notice the same reactions still take over when something real happens. It is also a powerful reset for anyone carrying stress, overwhelm or a sense of always bracing.

  • Catching yourself before you shut down or react
  • Staying present in conversations that would normally overwhelm you
  • Letting your body soften instead of constantly bracing
  • More space to choose how you respond in the moment

Breathwork for Thornbury clients

Onaya started out working with clients in Thornbury and Melbourne’s inner north, and many people from Thornbury, Northcote, Preston, Fairfield and Alphington continue their sessions with Mike at his studio in North Warrandyte. It is an easy drive out to the bush, and many clients find the trip part of the reset.

Getting started

The best first step is a free connection call, so we can talk about what you are looking for and whether this work is right for you. From there, many clients begin with the 3-Session Intro Series ($500), which gives your body and nervous system time to settle into the work and start to shift.
