Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation in the Workplace

Breathe@work Program

“Stress isn’t the enemy. The challenge is when the nervous system has too little capacity to meet what’s being asked of it.”

Julie Wix | Founder of Pause and Exhale

A flexible nervous system isn’t always calm — it’s adaptable.

Services

The Breathe@work program is designed to help employees understand and experience the impact of nervous system flexibility and capacity in daily life.

Through breath, awareness, and practice, participants learn how to tap into their nervous system and understand how to build capacity and flexibility, enabling adaptive shifts in state when required. Over time, this can lead to:

  • Better sleep and deeper rest

  • Clearer thinking and improved decision-making

  • More emotional steadiness and fewer reactive spirals

  • Reduced physical tension, pain, and fatigue

  • Greater connection with themselves and others

  • Less time spent feeling stuck, stressed, or overwhelmed

Julie Wix

Founder of Pause and Exhale

Julie Wix is a breathwork and nervous system coach with an Honours Degree in Psychology and advanced training in breathwork and nervous system regulation. She brings practical, evidence‑informed tools to modern workplaces. Her 15+ years in leadership gave her first-hand insight into how easily chronic tension and an “always on” internal state can become the norm — a pattern that often shows up as fatigue, depletion, and the early signs of burnout. That lived experience now shapes her approach to supporting others.

My Story

Testimonials

  • I’ve tried mindfulness apps and yoga, but breathwork helped me understand the physiology behind stress and regulation. Realising I can consciously influence my nervous system gave me both hope and practical tools I use daily.

    Mel

  • Julie’s breathwork helped me quiet the mental noise and reconnect with myself. I felt clearer, more present, and more at ease after each session. Her approach blends warmth with science in a way that just works.

    Sara

  • We recently did a breathwork session with Julie. It was so beneficial and released a lot of stagnant energy and re-set the body from flight and fight into rest and digest. It also equipped my mind to know this is available to me in any situation. A wonderful tool to have up my sleeve. Highly recommended.

    Cheryl

  • I had an amazing sleep last night 2hr:15min of REM sleep out of 8:53 total, without waking. This is rare as I normally sleep about 7hrs with 1hr of REM. I’m attributing it to the wonderful breath work. Thanks again Julie

    Scott

  • I had an incredible breathwork session with Julie. Her care and guidance brought a profound emotional shift I never expected. I left feeling lighter, present, and hopeful. If you’re facing anxiety, depression, or disconnection, I can’t recommend her enough.
