Jacqui Storm
Jacqui is a yoga teacher and breath therapist.
As a teenager she started to explore the benefits of Reiki, Reflexology and Deep Tissue Massage, and then studied for four years at the Scandinavian College of Chiropractors in Stockholm and the International Su Jok Acupuncture Association.
Jacqui is a qualified lecturer in Twist Movement Therapy, a Meridian Therapist, and has diplomas from The College of Natural Nutrition and the Avalon Insititute of Rebirthing.
She trained as a yoga teacher with Sadhana Mala and continues her ongoing continuing professional development with them. Her therapeutic breath work training is with the Avalon Institute of Rebirthing and the Sondra Ray school of Liberation Breathing.
In 2000 she moved to Bath and opened The Bath Back Clinic. Whilst working on peoples backs she realised the strong link between back pain, emotions and nutrition. This led her to study EFT and Emotrance with Passion for Health and Nutritional Therapy with Metabolics.
She later studied Natural Nutrition with Babara Wren at the College of Natural Nutrition and was awarded an advanced diploma in natural nutrition.She regularly returns to Sweden to further her knowledge at The Stockholm Su Jok Centre where she qualified as a lecturer for Su Jok Acupunture – Cycle 1.
Jacqui now combines Spinal Therapy with Breath Work because over the years as a spinal therapist she has learnt that chronic back pain is always accompanied by stress and emotional upset. A big part of the road to recovery is to address both these areas in life. The spinal work is focused around freeing the nervous system, realigning posture and re-balancing the muscular skeletal system.
It is her understanding that all human beings have an inner healing intelligence, and this is what she wants to help people to access. Jacqui’s business is Life’s Breath.

Laura-Jane Gronow-Gill
Laura-Jane spent the start of her working life in a caring capacity for others, however after a long period dealing with chronic physical and emotional pain, realised that she had to bring the care and compassion she gave to others to her own life.
She began to study various healing modalities and spent thousands of hours meditating, sitting alongside her teacher and friend practising and receiving Reiki and learning to be in a space of consciousness where she could be truly peaceful.
As her body began to heal, she became active again, enjoying exercise but never losing sight of the need to practice self care.
After 10 years of training, she was initiated as a Reiki Master/ teacher.
Yoga had always been a way of natural movement to Laura-Jane, that helped to heal her body, and when she began to practice under instruction from wise, compassionate teachers yoga became much more than just movement.
Laura-Jane now practices and teaches a slow breath focused hatha yoga and each class and each student is seen as a blessing.
