# Low Tide Calm
> Low Tide Calm offers structured, evidence-informed breathwork and mindfulness coaching online across Ireland, the UK, and beyond, with in-person reflexology and Indian head massage in Wicklow Town from late summer 2026. Focus: nervous system regulation, stress reduction, sleep, and burnout recovery, delivered as practical, trauma-aware, neurodivergent-friendly skills training.
Low Tide Calm provides one-to-one online breathwork and mindfulness coaching for adults dealing with chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, sleep difficulties, or nervous system dysregulation. The approach is parasympathetic-first, evidence-grounded, and explicitly non-clinical. It is not therapy, not spiritual practice, and does not use catharsis-based or hyperventilation-based methods. It complements existing psychotherapy and medical care rather than replacing it.
The methodology draws primarily on the Buteyko breathing method, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). Sessions are delivered as structured, time-limited programmes (three or six sessions) with clear progression and a defined end point. Practices are trauma-aware and choice-based throughout, with adaptations specifically for neurodivergent adults (ADHD, autism) and clients carrying trauma histories or high sensory sensitivity.

## What this is not
Low Tide Calm is not therapy, counselling, or psychiatric care. It does not use holotropic breathwork, conscious connected breathwork, the Wim Hof method, or any other approach involving sustained hyperventilation, altered states, or peak experiences. It is not a substitute for medical treatment. Clients in acute mental health crisis are signposted to clinical services rather than enrolled.
