My name is Agnieszka. Many of my clients call me Agi. I am a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and a Conscious Breathing (Rebirthing) practitioner. In my work it means that I incorporate psychotherapeutic knowledge into the Breathing Sessions & that I pay attention to your breathing while we talk in Psychotherapy sessions. One feeds the other, yet these are, or rather can be, two separate disciplines.
Working with the breath, I believe that it is wiser to do less rather than to push too far, and to leave the client, you, ‘unfinished’ and raw. I practice the same in psychotherapy. I choose to work with your resistance instead of moving against it. It doesn’t mean that I won’t challenge you, because I will. It means though, that I strongly believe that whatever you do, however you behave, you do it for a reason and I am curious hy?
I originally trained as a mathematician and have spent several years in Ireland working in banking industry. In 2003 I took my first Rebirthing session in Poland and I have been practicing ever since. I trained as a Rebirther and while still working in banking, I kept breathing ‘after working hours’. In 2007 I participated in a week long workshop run by Joy Manné, PhD, where I deepened my understanding of meaning of the breathe and discovered two other powerful methods of personal transformation, Voice Dialogue and Family Constellations. Over the years I have learnt to incorporate these methods into my Breathwork practice and Joy Manné became my dear teacher and a friend.
I have had many wise and inspiring teachers on my breathing path including Joy, Catherine Dowling, my rebirther in Dublin who gave me courage to keep breathing, Lyubov Umanets with whom I trained in Kiev, Tilke Platteel-Deur and Hans Mensink, who run an extraordinary, three years long training in Integrative Breathwork Therapy in Germany, and finally Clare Gabriel, who generously offered to be my rebirther and sponsor in British Rebirth Society when I moved to London and joined the society. I am deeply grateful to all of them and continue to learn from them each time we meet.
I breathe, dance, practice Kundalini Yoga and recently also paint. I believe we all have the resources to live the life we desire and Rebirthing Breathwork is a fast way to access these consciously. I invite you to join me on the path of Conscious Breathing.
