My Story as a NeuroDynamic Breathwork Instructor in Ealing
My journey into NeuroDynamic Breathwork is deeply rooted in both science and lived experience. It is shaped by nature, medicine, motherhood, loss, and a lifelong curiosity about how human beings heal, regulate, and reconnect with themselves.
As an experienced breathwork instructor in Ealing, offering online and in-person sessions, I share this story so you can understand not only what I do, but why I offer it, and how this work is held with care, integrity, and respect for your inner process.
I am Dr. Hanna Lind
and this is my journey to
NeuroDynamic Breathwork
Growing Up Close to Nature & Inner Knowing
I grew up on a farm in Iceland, surrounded by land, animals, and wide open space. Life there offered freedom, creativity, and room to wonder. From an early age, I felt a deep intuitive connection to nature and its quiet intelligence.
That early relationship with the natural world planted a seed, a trust that life holds an innate wisdom, and that when given space, balance can return on its own. This understanding continues to shape my work in NeuroDynamic Breathwork, where listening inward is central.
From Medicine to a Broader Understanding of Health
Guided by a strong calling to health and healing, I trained as a medical doctor, later working in clinical medicine and research and development of new medicines. This path deepened my respect for scientific inquiry, evidence, and professional responsibility.
At the same time, I began to recognise the limitations of a healthcare system that often separates symptoms from the whole person, and I saw how emotional, mental, and embodied experiences were frequently overlooked, even though they play a vital role in wellbeing.
This question stayed with me: how do we support healing in a way that honours both science and the lived experience of being human?
Yoga, Meditation & the Discovery of Breathwork
Alongside my medical career, I dedicated myself to yoga and meditation, completing my 200-hour yoga teacher training with YogaWestLondon. These practices supported my own nervous system, presence, and self-awareness, and helped bridge the gap between clinical knowledge and embodied experience.
While exploring different holistic modalities, I encountered breathwork. From my very first session, something shifted profoundly. I experienced how conscious breathing could open an altered state of awareness, allowing emotion, memory, and insight to surface safely.
The breath is unique. It is the only part of the autonomic nervous system we can consciously influence. Through breath, the body and mind begin a dialogue that can restore regulation and inner coherence.
Life Experience, Grief & Inner Healing
Life itself has been one of my greatest teachers. As a mother of three and a partner in a long-term marriage of nearly twenty years, I have experienced both joy and challenge. I have also lived through deep grief, including the loss of both my parents and my brother.
During these times, NeuroDynamic Breathwork became a space where I could meet my emotions honestly, reconnect with my creativity, and begin healing from within. This practice offered me a way to trust my body’s intelligence when words were not enough.
I know that many people carry their own unseen stories. This understanding informs how I hold space for others.
Why I Offer NeuroDynamic Breathwork
This practice feels more needed in the world than ever. NeuroDynamic Breathwork supports people to turn inward, trust their inner knowledge, regulate their nervous system, and speak their truth from a grounded place.
It is this knowing that drives my passion for sharing NeuroDynamic Breathwork training in Ealing and online with others. My role is not to fix or direct, but to facilitate a safe container where your own inner guidance can emerge.
The Meaning Behind My Logo and Visual Identity
My work is guided by the principle, Journey inward. Return renewed.
NeuroDynamic Breathwork revealed to me that each of us carries an inner guiding intelligence, a self-organising wisdom that knows how to restore balance when given space to breathe.
The labyrinth symbol reflects this process. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has a single continuous path that leads inward to the centre, and then back outward again. Each turn mirrors the natural rhythm of the breath, contraction and expansion, tension and release, inhalation and exhalation.
My visual identity draws inspiration from the Tamarindo Labyrinth in Costa Rica, a design that unifies two energetic centres into one coherent field. Its circular form, rooted in sacred geometry and the Vesica Piscis, symbolises harmony between apparent opposites, mind and body, science and spirit, reason and intuition.
In NeuroDynamic Breathwork, these polarities meet through the breath, creating a new state of balance and awareness. The labyrinth becomes a map of the experience itself, a single path of trust, self-awareness, and deep integration.
