Restoring what it means to have a ‘Holistic’ approach to healing.
Meet the founder
Welcome to Breath Of Gaia! My name is Cassandra Dahini and I am a Certified Breathwork Practitioner, Somatic Therapist, Holistic Trauma Coach and am in the midst of studying my ‘Masters In Holistic Counselling’. I also have the deep honour of being a mother to three incredible wildflowers; two of whom have special needs. In our home, we practice gentle and conscious parenting, so self-awareness and self-accountability has never been far from my conscious thoughts.
My approach to healing is holistic; seeing the interconnectedness of the Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual wellbeing. Rather than addressing each aspect of self in isolation, it is my belief that we must treat each person as a whole being and acknowledge the importance of treating every facet of your health.
I have a warm, nurturing, and compassionate nature, creating an environment where you feel safe enough in my presence to soften into your experience in its fullness, knowing that you are being held and honoured exactly where you are in your journey.
I have extensive training in trauma release and nervous system regulation, with a strong focus on raising your level of self-awareness. Allowing for re-patterning and, in essence, freedom from all which holds us back from living our life to our fullest potential. I encourage a gradual and gentle healing process, only moving as fast and as far as your body allows. It is my belief that step by step, breath by breath, you can reclaim all of you.
My role is not to heal you, but to support you and nurture a space where you can guide yourself back to wholeness.

Testimonials
“I was able to release emotion that had been numb for years. There were times where it was hard for me and Cass was able to identify exactly when those times were and help guide me through it, a support but also able to push me through some of my resistance. The session was so personalised, I could see and feel all the effort Cass went to to make sure I was as comfortable as possible so I was safe and willing to surrender to the journey.’
- Kaitlyn
“I have been seeing psychologists and doing experiential learning for years but this healing was like no other. The edges Cass took me to was the perfect amount of push and safe holding. I will never forget the incredibly powerful experience Cass facilitated for me. Thank you for healing parts of me that run deep, that have kept me small and that have held on so tightly to who I am. I no longer need them. I release. I heal, I grow when I'm with you. Thank you”
- Mary
“I have so much to say. I don't fully know how to put into words my experience, which also speaks to how much the session allowed me to connect back with my body and my heart. I've done a number of energetic and holistic modalities, and something I've noticed is that I often feel resistant to the facilitator and their treatment approach. However, from the moment my body entered the beautiful space Cass prepared, I felt my walls ready to release. The session itself was a whirlwind of feelings and experiences, some hard to process. However, with Cass by my side, I was able to let go of some deep pain. I've been experiencing what feels like a detoxification of excess oestrogen, which I know is deeply embedded in my tissues and is a generational that I am now feeling like I'm able to let go of and break this cycle. My body is re-organising on so many levels already after just one session, and though I am experiencing grief during this transition, I am also able to see the emancipation and joy that will come from this experience. Cass really knew how to hold a safe and loving space, and that is rare to find these days. I am so grateful for all she has shown me and allowed me to feel and let go of so far.”
- Cassidy
“To say this experience absolutely exceeded any expectations I had is an understatement. I felt things that I didn’t even know I could feel, I cried, I smiled and most importantly I felt comfortable in Cass’s presence. She guided me exceptionally well and made sure I was looked after. The environment she provided gave a home like feeling making the process as smooth as it could possibly be. Once I came out of my journey Cass was right there to make sure I was okay. I felt instantly lighter, and my brain was in a state it has never been in before in the most positive way imaginable.”
- Kiara
“My session with Cass was nothing short of incredible. I had lots of trapped energy and emotions arise. Cass gently invited me to move it out and I felt completely comfortable in her presence to do so. It was one of the best hours of my life.”
- Kristie
“Cass is an incredible facilitator. Not only did she provide a safe and nurturing environment, she saw me, heard me and validated me. For the first time in years, I feel truly lighter. I cannot thank her enough.”
- Tara
“ I had my first Somatic session with Cass today which left me walking away feeling the lightest I have felt in a long time. As always Cass ensured I was seen, validated, and comforted throughout! Embarking on this healing journey with Cass has been truly transformative! This whole experience has been a game changer for me! So much more than anything I’ve done before I’m so grateful!”
- Monique
“I've never experienced anything like it and couldn't have found a better person to hold that space for me.”
- Paige
“The space Cassandra created really allowed me to fully immerse myself in the experience. I felt so safe and so seen. Cassandra ensured that I was fully informed on what to expect and because of this, I was able to work through the physical symptoms I felt and surrender to my bodies process.”
- Cassandra
“Breathing with Cassandra was like nothing I’ve experienced before. Cass made the space so warm and comforting, she made me feel at ease with the process and safe in her space and presence. I have felt so clear minded since the breathe and have a sense of calm in my body, which is so foreign to me”
- Megan
“The Somatic journey you took me on this session was magical, healing and so perfectly timed. I met with my younger self and spoke up for her when she was too scared or didn't have the skills to advocate for herself. I held my younger self's hand and allowed her to be seen and heard. Today I put boundaries in place for little me and watched my son and my little self play in the sand. Somatics and gently rewriting the stories of my childhood was exactly what I needed. I have walked away with sore eyes and cleared sinuses from shedding so many tears and releasing so much mucus and I feel lighter, refreshed and ready and excited for our journey together. Thank you for healing parts of me that run deep, that have kept me small and that have held on so tightly to who I am.”
- Sandy
“I had never experienced anything like this before, but I felt held and safe with Cass from the start. This session was an entirely different experience to the first, but the constant was Cass and her gentle guidance.”’
- Cathryn
I was a bit nervous for my initial Breathwork consult as I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect but I quickly felt at ease once the session began. Cassandra was incredibly intuitive, noticing and responding to even the slightest changes which I thought were only felt and expressed internally by me! I was taken by surprise at how attuned she was to my body and expression. We touched on and addressed some big topics which has really helped me as I continue to work on self, embrace change and heal from the past.
– Elizabeth Thompson
I had my first breathwork session with Cass recently. She made me feel so comfortable and at ease. She talked me through the process and reassured me she would be there supporting me throughout.
Cass has a warm, calm and confident nature so you feel at ease in her presence. The session itself was cathartic and fulfilling. It felt amazing to visit deep inside myself and reflect with no distractions. I can’t wait to continue this practice with Cass in future. Better than any talk therapy I’ve ever done, that’s for sure.
- Sarah
I did not expect it to work in all honesty. But, I felt it all. I cannot wait to book in with you again.
- Jessie
I felt like my soul was nourished and I was able to give my whole being the self love it needed. Thank-you for creating such a beautiful space and session.
- Nat
I am really glad I started my healing journey with you. I have lot’s coming up but, I am feeling really positive and I haven’t felt that in a long time. I am so grateful and my heart is full.
- Chloe
“I am so happy that I came to see you. I feel so safe with you, and I am so excited to walk this path with you. It 100% feels like exactly what I need.”
- Bronwyn
“I really feel your support and presence in my life between sessions”
- Dee
“My whole outlook on life has been changing since my first session. Working with Cass has been life changing. I wouldn’t be on this journey and where I am today without you.”
