Sunni Hart (she/her) is a Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery practitioner, somatic educator and mentor with a background in birthwork, music curation and community organising. Her work is rooted in presence, relational care and the belief that conscious breath is a pathway to healing, liberation and return.Sunni’s practice is shaped by years spent walking alongside others through birth, loss and transformation—as a doula, educator, mentor, and mother. These experiences taught her to trust the body’s innate wisdom and the quiet intelligence of cycles. Parenting in particular opened her to the deep, ongoing work of reparenting herself–of tending to what’s been inherited, what longs to be healed, and what can be passed on differently.Working through a somatic and trauma-informed lens, Sunni invites people into connection: with breath, with body, with creativity, with each other, and with the earth. She honours the child within, the ancestors behind, and the earth beneath as the original mother who teaches us reciprocity, rhythm and restoration.Her offerings centre on relationship and reverence, and are grounded in a decolonising ethic of care where joy, creativity, grief and transformation all have a place. She supports people to gently unwind survival patterns, rewrite inner narratives, and live with greater freedom and truth.Sunni is committed to accessibility and community repair through sliding scale pricing, scholarships and community breath circles. Her background in music curation and her love of poetry, ritual and the more-than-human world continue to inform her evolving personal research into the links between breath, art and aliveness.She holds a vision of collective healing rooted in reciprocity, where we recognise ourselves in one another, dismantle inherited harm, and co-create futures grounded in care, connection and joy.Sunni is a settler living and working on Wurundjeri Country, where she honours the enduring sovereignty, lore and custodianship of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people. She pays deep respect to their Elders past and present, and acknowledges Country as kin–alive with memory, story and spirit. With ancestral roots in India, Armenia and Ireland, she is committed to walking gently on this land and tending to the responsibilities that come with living on unceded Country.All are welcome in this space. Breathwork has no contraindications and is accessible to people of all backgrounds, identities, bodyminds and life experiences. Sunni is committed to creating brave space—where care and respect are mutual, where each person’s truth is honoured, and where healing is not about perfection but about presence.

About My Approach
My practice is rooted in a somatic, relational approach to breathwork that honours the body as an intelligent, intuitive system; an archive of memory, emotion, ancestry and potential. I draw on a decade of experience in birthwork, trauma-informed care, and creative process, with a strong commitment to nervous system repair, decolonising care, and collective healing.
My work is deeply shaped by lineage-based learning, mentorship and the wisdom of peer exchange. I completed my training with The School of Breathwork, my teacher is Eleanor Mann, a breathwork teacher and play therapist, who remains a core mentor and the sole lineage holder of Rebirthing Breathwork Mastery (RBM). Her teachings have guided my understanding of inner child work, relational presence, nervous system theory and gentle somatic attunement. Central to her approach is the cultivation of safety in the body and the belief that healing must be self-directed and paced by the individual, not imposed.
RBM was founded by Alakh Analda, whose teachings on energy, yogic consciousness and the sacredness of breath laid the foundation of the method. I had the honour of learning directly from Alakh throughout my training, which deepened my trust in the breath as a bridge between the physical, emotional and energetic realms.
Alongside these teachers, I’ve been deeply nourished by my breathwork peers. Through shared processes, witnessing, and ongoing exchange, their courage, insight and presence have taught me as much as any formal training, reminding me that this work lives in relationship.
My doula training with Carriagehouse Birth in NYC introduced me to radical, inclusive models of care. Penny Simkin’s research into birth and sexual trauma informs how I support survivors with sensitivity and respect. Francis Weller’s grief teachings have deepened my capacity to meet sorrow as sacred, and the work of Mia Kalef affirms what I’ve witnessed firsthand: that how we enter the world shapes our sense of self, safety and belonging. I also draw strength and structure from the work of adrienne maree brown, whose writing on emergent strategy, pleasure activism and community care continues to guide how I move in the world, with adaptability, devotion, and deep listening.
As a settler on Wurundjeri Country, with ancestral roots in India, Armenia and Ireland, my cultural inheritance is complex and layered. It is marked by migration, loss, resilience and reverence. While I continue to explore these threads in my personal and spiritual life, they influence the way I listen to the body, relate to ancestry, and seek to restore a sense of belonging that is not owned, but remembered. The land I live on teaches me daily about reciprocity, rhythm and right relationship.
My approach is not prescriptive or performative. It is an invitation into curiosity, into presence, into re-patterning. Breathwork with me is spacious and attuned. It allows for grief, laughter, silence, expression, remembering. It is a space to reconnect with your pace, truth and body on your own terms.
Whether you’re seeking regulation, expression, connection or simply a moment to breathe, I am here to walk with you.
