Breathing Together. Nowhere to be.
Helping others slow down, breathe, and come home to themselves.
About Diana
Diana is a professional abstract artist and serial house-mover. For over twenty years, creativity has been her form of expression — making and selling art long before breathwork entered the picture.
She discovered the breath through Kundalini yoga and breath classes at her local gym after moving to the Northern Rivers in 2015, and has come to see it as one of the most transformational modalities she's ever experienced. What began as her own practice grew into something more: she went on to complete her facilitation training through Sõmsana Breathwork, and is now a newly qualified breath coach. It's a role she never expected of herself — Diana has long struggled with her ability to express herself through her voice, so training to teach, out loud, in front of others, was the last thing she imagined herself doing.
Her dream is to one day run art workshops that weave the breath through the creative process. For now, she's starting with community-focused breath classes — slow, restorative sessions designed to nurture and calm the nervous system. She shows up not as an expert with decades behind her, but as someone with an embodied knowledge of what the breath can do, and a first-hand understanding of what it feels like to come home to yourself.
She started The Slow Studio because she wanted to create a space where people could stop giving and doing, and simply be — to receive, to find calm, safety and acceptance in their own bodies and hearts, together, in community.
Diana is married to a designer/builder, has two grown-up daughters, and has called Byron Bay home for the past eleven years.
Why The Breath
The breath is an autonomic function — it runs on its own — but it's also one of the only bodily functions we can consciously control. The moment we choose to pay attention to it, we can take the wheel and use it to help us soothe, release and heal. Breathing slowly and with intention sends a message to the nervous system that it's safe to soften: heart rate drops, tension eases, clarity returns.
It's not complicated, and it's not something you need to get ‘right’. This is simply about showing up, and breathing together.
Community Coherence — Wednesday Evening
Once a week, we meet as a community to do nothing but breathe.
Community Coherence is a slow, guided breathwork session built around coherence breathing — a simple, steady rhythm that brings the heart, breath and nervous system into balance. There's nothing to get right. Just an hour to put down what you've been carrying, and breathe alongside others doing the same.
It's called Community Coherence because something different happens when we do this together rather than alone — a room full of people breathing with intention becomes its own quiet, calming presence. In a world that pulls us toward isolation and screens, it's a small, weekly act of coming back to each other.
