Hi, we’re Giulia and Wessel, welcome to The Space Within.

This space is a reflection of our own journey and the work we now dedicate ourselves to: breathwork, nervous system support, and grounded inner transformation. Over the past decade, our path has taken us through periods of deep personal inquiry, lived experience, and ongoing study. Along the way, we’ve explored yoga, meditation, and embodiment practices, which continue to inform the way we hold space today - always with a focus on regulation, presence, and integration.

Breathwork is a core part of how we support people to reconnect with themselves in a safe and embodied way.We are both certified breathwork facilitators through Owaken, and continue to deepen our practice and mentorship within this field.

We also have a passion for deepening our understanding of plant medicine and how plant intelligence, the breath and the nervous system all speak the same language. We’ve most recently returned to Peru for an extended period of deep ceremonial work and inner exploration. This experience continues to shape the way we offer integration and the importance of supporting people not only through transformation, but in the grounding that follows it.

The Space Within has emerged from all of this.

We offer breathwork sessions, nervous system-based practices, and facilitated experiences designed to support regulation, connection, and meaningful inner change. Our focus is practical and embodied, helping people move out of overwhelm and back into a more regulated, present state of being.

Alongside our in-person work on the Hibiscus Coast, Auckland, we are also expanding into online spaces and future retreat experiences. At the heart of everything we do is a simple intention: to create safe, grounded spaces where people can slow down, reconnect, and come back to themselves.

We’re grateful you’re here.

Training & Foundations

Our work is grounded in ongoing training, mentorship, and lived practice across breathwork, meditation, yoga, Reiki, and nervous system regulation. We are both certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Facilitators through Owaken Breathwork, and continue to deepen our study and mentorship within this lineage.

Alongside this, we draw from long-term training in meditation, yoga, and energy-based practices, all of which inform how we hold space, with an emphasis on safety, regulation, and integration. At the centre of everything is ongoing practice. We do not see this work as something we “complete,” but as something we continue to live, refine, and deepen.
