In this juicy conversation with Kerry Veitch we talk about the many paths to consciousness, healing and connection. We discuss how as humans we are finding our way back to ancient and new ways to breathe and how we are connecting to the power that the breath has to bring us into the fullest expression of ourself. Kerry is an amazing and inspiring human who has a rich history and many strings to her bow. Kerry is now an international breath work trainer and we are so grateful to have her speak with us for Connection Matters Podcast.

Biography
Kerry has been connected with rebirthing breathwork since 1993 and is a certified practitioner with two different schools. She now focuses now on embodiment practices such as Internal Family Systems and Eugene Gendlin’s Focusing, using a trauma informed approach. Kerry is a trainer with AIR School of Breathwork and Alchemy of Breath, guiding & supporting students through deep personal processes to achieve a qualification in breathwork facilitation. She loves sharing the healing power of the breath with others, by holding retreats, weekly online group sessions, 1:1 sessions, and her deepest love, warm water rebirthing.
Kerry also co-founded and is the festival director of the UK’s first Breathwork Festival which is an annual event started in 2018, celebrating all kinds of breathwork. Kerry’s very grounded nature holds a very safe space for breather(s), holding them in their highest potential and being committed to the unfolding of each person’s own journey which of course is guided perfectly by our breath.
Kerry has recently been voted in as the National Representative for the UK with the International Breathwork Foundation, and is a practitioner member of the Global Professional Breathwork Association. She holds much gratitude for all her teachers along her path, but more so her Auntie Lynn Veitch who has been a breathwork practitioner for nearly 40 years.
Transforming unusual spaces into areas where arts can meet, inform and inspire people of all backgrounds, ages and cultures has been in Kerry’s calling from very early on. This passion for creating spaces for people to connect and inspire continued with work that sees Kerry producing an area of Glastonbury Festival for the last decade.
Kerry has also been fortunate to have experienced & trained in Focusing, EFT & Co-Active Coaching & TRE.
