ABOUT ME

I am a highly experienced Certified Mindfulness Teacher, Certified Conscious Breathing Coach and a Qualified Nurse.

I am proud to be the only practitioner in the UK, with formal training in both Mindfulness and Breathwork, combining my expertise also with my medical background.

I also have a 15 years of career in Finance, which I decided to leave after a devastating burnout, which resulted in a temporary paralysis. I experienced a complete transformation of my health and a vast improvement in my cognitive abilities such as focus and memory, thanks to my newly discovered mindfulness and breathwork practices. It was this that inspired me to train and build expertise in these two natural modalities.

Today I work with individuals, groups and corporations offering one to one sessions, classes, workshops, courses and bespoke training events in both Breathwork and Mindfulness.

WHY DID I CREATE THIS TRULY UNIQUE COURSE?

Studies have shown that, our long-term mental, emotional and physical health requires us to have two types of tools – for stress management to stop it from becoming chronic and to stimulate body’s natural relaxation response to support healthy function of the nervous system.

However, many people face barriers, stopping them from accessing the right tools and incorporating them into their lives. This results in a wide range of experiences including anxiety, mood swings, panic attacks, brain fog, sleep issues and fatigue.

This course is created for you to remove these barriers by offering practical, easy to use, science-backed and motivational toolkit fit in with your daily life and work, empowering you pick and choose different tools according to your needs and particular circumstances.

This course removes the most common barriers, that may resonate with you too, such as

The challenge is two-fold

• finding practical tools suitable for modern life and work environment
• not knowing how to turn theory into practice, especially when we are under pressure
• losing motivation to stick with something

Post-burnout, when I came across Mindfulness and Breathwork, and discovered their life-changing impact for myself, I was inspired to make them easily accessible to everybody.

This course is the result of this inspiration, years of formal training in both modalities and my extensive field work.

FAQs

▪️ WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ‘TOOLS FIT IN TO YOUR BUSY LIFE AND WORK’?

In this course, you will have access to mindfulness, meditation and breathwork practices that you can practice

• in different lengths, from within 1 minute, 3 minutes to over 20 minutes – and everything in between
• in different places and environments such as work, at home, commute, even during activities like walking and running
• without needing any special equipment or set-up

For example, you will learn 20 mins meditation practices suitable for the quiet comfortable surroundings of your home, as well as fast acting 1-min breathwork exercises suitable less private and noisier environments such as office and school run.

▪️ WHAT IF I STRUGGLE TO MEDITATE?

I hear this very often – people being worried about their busy mind and whether it would make it difficult to meditate.

Don’t worry. In this course, I will share with you specific breathing techniques to help calm your mind, allowing you effortlessly transition to meditation.

In fact, this synergy between Breathwork and Mindfulness is one of the reasons of why I brought them together in this unique course.

▪️ I START SOMETHING BUT THEN LOSE MY MOTIVATION. WHAT KIND OF MOTIVATIONAL SUPPORT THIS COURSE OFFERS?

In this course you will have plenty of support from me, your peers and though the carefully designed structure of the course. Let’s have a quick look at each of them.

• Personal support from me – you and each member of our group has direct access to me throughout the course for your questions, queries or just to sound out how your self-practice is going.

This one to one support is so important to me and specifically for this reason, I keep the group size of each course intake small.

• Support from your peers – the online learning platform I use allow group members to communicate as often as they want. You can share your experiences with the group and learn from others. A small course group offers a safe and collaborative space for us to learn and thrive together.
• Structure of the course – the course is delivered over 8 weeks combining weekly LIVE ZOOM classes and your daily self-practice.

You will find that have access to rich course materials on our online learning platform, supporting your self-practice in every way – providing information, short teaching videos covering key subjects, guided meditation and breathwork audios.

In between LIVE ZOOM classes, I will continue to share messages and follow ups with the group, encouraging your self-practice every step of the way.

This course gave me just what I needed. It WORKS!

“At the beginning of this journey I wasn't sure whether I should try to see a therapist to talk through some of my anxieties as I was feeling low and stressed about the world and my place in it.

I have always been interested in how the Breath affects me and I wanted to look at this in more detail. I liked that the course offered mindfulness and breathwork as this seemed a great combination.

My mind can be over active and cause me a lot of unnecessary stress. This course has been carefully worked out and each stage connects so beautifully with the next session.

I now feel that I have some brilliant tools in my toolkit that I can draw on, a wide range of practices to suit all occasions and I am so much more mindful of so many situations that I find myself in.

My self-confidence has definitely grown and I find myself being so much kinder to myself taking time out to pause and breathe and reflect on my behaviour and how that impacts on my family and friends and out into the wider community.

I felt totally safe in the hands of a very experienced and empathetic group facilitator. Exploring myself through mindfulness and breathwork has given me just what I need at this stage in my life and hopefully for the rest of my life..”

 

I have always been unsure about joining groups and I wasn't sure how this would work online but from the first session I was immediately put at ease with the energy and compassion that came oozing out of Melike Hussein.

Her presence creates a caring and calming environment and she facilitates each session with care and concern about each of the participants.

She has an incredible zest for life and her passion and knowledge on this subject is very infectious and one can't help be carried away by it and it WORKS !! I am very grateful to have stumbled on this amazing course and to have spent eight informative and fun filled evenings with Melike.

"I strongly recommend anyone feeling anxious and/or stressed in their daily life to attend this course.

The course is a good balance between theory and practice. Breathwork and mindfulness complement each other, so it was great to learn and practice both.

This course gives you a handy toolkit on how to manage stress and bring more joy to your life. I found the live lessons together with self-practice very useful."

- Kadri

My self-awareness increased

“Melike gave me such an insight into how the brain works with thoughts and breaking everything down for us to understand. It has opened up so many paths for me in terms of solutions to anxiety.

Now I understand my thought process better, understand why I get anxious and know how to deal with it.”
