What makes 9D Breathwork so transformative?
9D Breathwork is a deeply immersive experience that works on the mind, body and energy system at the same time. Through conscious breathing, sound frequencies and subconscious rewiring, it gently opens the places where stress, emotion and old patterns have been held.
At Kora Wellness, every journey is delivered through noise-cancelling headphones, creating a private, inward space even when you’re surrounded by others. You’re guided the whole way — spaciously, safely, and without pressure — so your body can soften and respond in its own time.
Our sessions blend:
Conscious Connected Breathing to release tension and move held emotion
Binaural beats & solfeggio frequencies to calm the nervous system and shift brainwave states
Hypnosis, affirmations & guided visualisation to update old patterns and strengthen self-belief
Intuitive sound healing to restore balance, presence and emotional clarity.
Some journeys help you open, release and move energy that’s been held beneath the surface. Others invite your whole system to slow down, settle and repair…the kind of deep rest most people haven’t felt in years.
Whichever journey you choose, the experience meets you exactly as you are. There’s no pushing, no forcing. Just a gentle return to yourself, leaving you clearer, lighter and more connected than when you arrived.
How does 9D Breathwork help me?
It will support you on multiple levels; emotionally, mentally and through regulating the nervous system. By committing to a regular practice, you are helping to release what’s been held, soften stress in the body and reconnect with a clearer, more grounded version of yourself.
Here’s what many people begin to notice:
Nervous system regulation
The combination of breath, sound and guided support helps the body settle out of fight-or-flight. Muscles soften, shoulders drop, and your breath begins to feel spacious again.
Increased clarity & intuition
With the static dialed down, it becomes easier to hear yourself again. Your decisions feel clearer, your instincts sharper, your inner voice louder.
Reduced stress & mental load
As your system unwinds, the noise in your mind quietens. Many people describe feeling calmer, more centred and better able to think clearly for days after a journey.
Emotional release & lightness
When the breath starts moving and the body feels safe, emotions that have been tucked away finally have room to shift. People often leave feeling clearer, lighter and more open in their chest.
Rewiring old patterns & beliefs
Through subconscious cues, hypnosis and affirmations woven into the audio, 9D helps soften outdated beliefs so new, healthier ones can take their place; naturally, without forcing.
A deeper reconnection with yourself
Most of all, people leave feeling more like themselves - present, grounded and back in their own body in a way they haven’t felt in a long time.

What happens when you commit to the practice...
“I have been doing breathwork at Kora now for six months, three times a week. I can honestly say it has changed my life and I couldn't be without it. For me it's like exercising the mind and soul, practicing regularly to manage my depression and anxiety. To be able to go somewhere you feel safe and welcome and really focus on yourself is something I am so grateful for, thank you Hayley for providing such a place. Breathwork really is a skill everyone should learn and use to improve their lives. I know it's improved mine.”

“Amazing, I went in as a sceptic and came out feeling very different. Wish I'd known about this year's ago.
After years of mma and boxing trying to fight demons I never would have believed something like this would be the key to opening up some locked doors.”
-- Ben James --
“The whole experience was amazing! I've been to many breathwork sessions over the last 5yrs but Kora Wellness adds such a thoughtful loving touch!
The mats are pretty much beds which are super comfy, the lighting is spot on, the room temp is perfect and there's blankets, the aroma is perfect, not too intense, and the ladies oozed kindness and care. Such a safe space, I highly recommend!”
-- Kris Picker --
“Kora Wellness has been an incredible experience for me. Since starting 9D breathwork, I’ve noticed a profound shift in my energy and overall well-being.
The space is beautifully designed to feel safe, supportive, and deeply comforting, making every session something I truly look forward to. Highly recommend to anyone seeking transformation and inner peace.”
-- Kim Phillips --
“I’ve had several breathwork sessions with Kora Wellness and every time I leave lighter and with clarity.
Feeling sad? Breathwork. Angry? Breathwork. Relationship troubles? Breathwork. Trauma? Breathwork. I could go on. So many incredible benefits.”
-- Erin Watt --
“Absolutely amazing. It blew my mind in the best way. Recommending to everybody”
-- Ben James --
“I came open minded not knowing what to expect and it turned out to be a powerful yet calming and emotional experience for me. My mind and heart thank you for this beginning of my journey.”

Questions about 9D Breathwork? Let’s make it easy.
-
9D Breathwork is a deeply immersive healing journey that blends guided breath patterns, sound healing and subconscious reprogramming to create powerful shifts in the mind, body and energy field.
Unlike traditional breathwork, it combines binaural beats, solfeggio frequencies, subliminal messages and guided visualisations to move beyond the conscious mind and open deeper states of awareness.
At Kora Wellness, sessions are tailored as either activating or down-regulating journeys. Some are designed to awaken and energise, while others calm the nervous system and restore balance. -
Yes. Every session at Kora Wellness is fully guided and suitable for all experience levels. You’ll be supported from the moment you arrive—grounded through meditation, guided in breath technique and safely led through every stage of the journey.
You’ll also have the choice between activating and down-regulating sessions, depending on whether your body needs release and expansion or deep rest and recalibration.
-
When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed by your facilitator and guided to settle into your space. Before the journey begins, you’ll receive a clear explanation of the session, the breath technique and what physical or emotional sensations you might experience. You’ll also have a brief practice round to get comfortable with the breathing pattern.
Once ready, you can choose to wear an eye pillow and will be fitted with noise-cancelling headphones. The experience is fully guided through the recording—from an opening meditation that grounds your energy, to intentional breathwork, affirmations and subconscious reprogramming woven through sound.
Binaural beats, frequencies and voice guidance support emotional release and deep transformation. The session closes with grounding music and space for reflection and integration. Activating sessions build energy and expansion, while down-regulating sessions calm and stabilise the body and mind.
-
Sessions typically run between 50 and 90 minutes. This includes time for grounding at the start, the full breathwork journey and integration at the end. Longer sessions allow deeper subconscious work and emotional release to unfold naturally without rushing the process.
-
Yes. 9D Breathwork directly supports the body’s stress response by balancing the nervous system and helping release stored tension. The rhythmic breath patterns and layered sound frequencies move the body from a state of fight-or-flight into calm and rest.
Down-regulating sessions are particularly effective for stress and anxiety, while activating sessions help move stagnant energy that often sits beneath chronic stress.
-
Wear comfortable clothing, bring a water bottle and arrive 10–15 minutes early to settle in. Avoid heavy meals, alcohol or mind-altering substances beforehand so you can breathe freely and stay present in the body.
You don’t need any prior experience; just an open mind and intention for what you’d like to shift or receive. Everything else, from the meditation to the music, will guide you naturally through the process.
