A Space to Breathe

             with Helen du Cros

Meet Helen

Eighteen years ago I left Manchester, the only life I knew, and moved to Australia.
I fell in love with the reef, ran hostels, immersed myself in nature and adventure, and somewhere along the way learned to read people, sensing what they needed without them saying it.

Scuba diving became my meditation. The outdoors my sanctuary. Bungy jumps, skydives and plenty of banter along the way.
 

Building community in hostel life shaped everything. Watching people arrive as strangers and leave as friends — that thread has never left.

In a hostel, travellers could be exactly who they were. No labels, no job titles, no performance. Just people, free to show up as themselves. That freedom to simply be, I have never stopped wanting to create it.

Today I bring that same instinct into every session and space I create, through breathwork, yoga, Reiki and crystal sound therapy.
 

This work is grounded in an understanding of the nervous system. Not about finding calm, but building the capacity to move between activation and rest, effort and ease, joy and stillness, and to return.
 

I have trained in yoga, Reiki, sound therapy and breathwork and I am a swim teacher, continuing to explore movement, breath and rhythm in both life and practice. I live this work with my boys, in the water, on hikes, camping, in community and in everyday moments of adventure and rest.
 

Today I offer 1:1 sessions, small groups and workshops in Cairns, creating space for you to reconnect with your own rhythm, in your own way.
 

Body. Breath. Rhythm. And an exhale

One of the best yoga and breathwork coaches I've ever worked with. Very down to earth, understands the body and you leave feeling fantastic. Highly recommended.

"Absolutely amazing sessions with Helen. She has such a passion about what she does that she brings to every session. From yoga to breathwork. I have done some amazing sessions with her. She takes everything at your pace and it is never about what is expected rather she meets you where you are at and guides you through such an amazing session."

'Helen's natural ability for creating a beautiful and calming space is literally breathtaking. She's a wonderful human with amazing energy. I always feel lighter after her sessions. I couldn't recommend her more 10/10"
