You weren’t born to experience constant stress and anxiety.

But for many of you, that has become the reality. Let's break you free!

About Iris Waller
You can change your life and, indeed, change the world. Why am I so sure? 

I seemingly had it all - the successful husband, the beautiful daughters in private school, the holiday home in France, the huge London house and a lifestyle to match. And yet, I was deeply unhappy.

Despite having a wealth of training, knowledge and years of practice and teachings of spirituality, I felt like an imposter, under-qualified, over-the-hill, overweight and overlooked.

I was silently struggling. Every day I’d wake up with a sense of fear, but no-one knew. I put on a brave face, hid my pain and convinced myself that I was ok.

As a successful yoga therapist and life coach this simply did not make sense: I had worked with 100s of people suffering from chronic illness, cancer, depression, with children with ADHD and autism, you name it.

Then, an ugly reality became apparent, one of my daughters almost died and I was diagnosed with PTSD

Around the same time I experienced my first breathwork journey. I immediately knew I had discovered the most powerful healing modality of them all. It finally all came together for me in one big beautiful synergy of healing and transformation

I finally stepped into my fierceness.

It took 2 years. Two years in which I (and both my girls) went through hell. I got divorced, lost my identity, my network and almost all of my so-called friends.

Having let circumstances control my life I actually caused a lot of my own stress and anxiety: I had unintentionally trained my body to breathe as if I was in constant fight or flight mode. 

But I had access to amazing mentors and teachers and went on a journey of self discovery. I  got through this time in my life by becoming unapologetic about my self-care. My energy levels soared and I became confident and clear about my presence and future. 

This also meant that I realised the myths about ageing and health we have learned to accept as the truth are a LIE told to us by society and big corporate marketing departments.

In truth we are in pain are because of the fast pace of life, the bad food and sedentary lifestyle, the underworking metabolism, the overworked hearts, the snoring above the age of 40 are widely accepted as normal. 

Changing into a completely natural lifestyle, consistently sticking with my daily habits, yoga  and eventually breathwork was a total game changer. I learned to truly tap in and it changed my life completely. As I write this, I am 58 years old, fit and healthy, living my very best life. 

If I could manage to get out of a seemingly hopeless situation - so can you!

But how will YOU change?

You start with baby steps. You change the way your breathe. You remove toxicity from your life. You learn to love yourself. And you are the one in the driving seat at your own pace. For example, if you are able to shape your breath, YOU can consciously create your own transformation. I am just the facilitator.

So let me repeat that:

YOU CAN CONSCIOUSLY CREATE YOUR OWN TRANSFORMATION

This is simultaneously an awesome gift and huge challenge. Accept it!

Once I developed my unapologetic self-care routine, I started to immerse in research, training and daily practice, which has completed my holistic way of life and super-charged my teaching. I am no longer fearful and stressed. I have been able to show up for my girls, for my clients and above all, for myself.

My energy levels are constant, my passion and love for life are amazing. I stopped the self-sabotage and was able to make lasting changes. Within a couple of years, my entire life had changed in ways I had never dared to imagine.

Today I live in my spiritual home in deepest rural France, mum to 2 almost grown up girls, 2 black cats and 2 tiny powderpuff dogs.
You will find me breathing, teaching and practicing in my studio, diffusing essential oils in every room, talking to ancient trees in the forest, or waterskiing on the lake. Check me out on Instagram, TikTok and Lemon8 as @annisfender.
