For many people, breathwork is a calming practice — something to help them slow down, refocus and release tension. But for Kristene Wilde, a 52-year-old mother of two from Widnes, it became far more than that. It became the lifeline that pulled her from one of the darkest chapters of her life and inspired a new mission: to help others achieve profound, life changing breakthroughs.

Kristene has spent the past two decades working in housing and teaching, dedicating her professional life to supporting others. But a few years ago, her own world collapsed. Within a short span of time, she experienced severe postnatal depression and lost her grandma, father and auntie — grief piling on grief. Her marriage broke down soon after, leaving her emotionally overwhelmed, anxious and suicidal.

“I tried everything,” she recalls — antidepressants, counselling, therapy. While each offered pieces of relief, none delivered the deep transformation she needed. Desperate to move forward in life, Kristene began exploring alternative modalities, and that journey led her to belief coding and then, profoundly, to breathwork.
She enrolled in a six-week Conscious Connected Breathwork course with renowned facilitator Josh Connolly. That experience changed everything. “It cracked me open,” she says. “It helped me access and release emotions I didn’t even know I was holding. It helped me feel safe again, hopeful again.”

But one of the most special parts of her work is her big community breathwork events — accessible, affordable gatherings designed to offer a supportive entry point for anyone curious about breathwork.

Monthly Community Breathwork in Widnes – Starting January
In January 2026, Kristene is launching a new series of monthly community breathwork events at The Yoga Lounge in Widnes. The first event — The January Blues Breathe — is designed to beat the dreaded ‘January Blues’ and will take place on Sunday, 11th January, from 6pm, strictly limited to 30 places.
Spanning two hours and set in a gorgeous space, this immersive guided breathwork journey is ideal for beginners and seasoned breathers alike. Attendees can expect deep relaxation, emotional release, reflection time, connection with others and in some cases profound breakthroughs. Group sessions cost just £25 to attend and many people take it a step further by going on to have 1-2-1 sessions.

Following January’s session, Kristene will host a themed community breathwork event at The Yoga Lounge on the first Sunday of every month throughout 2026, each offering a fresh focus and unique emotional experience. Kristene says: “A breathwork session with me is a steady, grounded space where you can step away from the noise of everyday life and actually breathe again.”
She continues: “I guide you through conscious connected breathwork in a calm, straightforward way, giving you practical cues so you can drop into the experience without overthinking it. I may use high-quality doTERRA essential oils, gentle drumming and, when needed, energy work to help release tension, shift emotions and support a deeper sense of release and calm.”
“As the breath opens, your body naturally starts to let go of what it has been holding, whether that’s stress, overwhelm or old emotions you no longer need. We finish with rest and grounding so you can integrate the experience and reconnect with yourself before heading back into your day, feeling clearer, lighter and more at ease.”
