# Julie Imbard — Breathwork & Nervous System Regulation > Julie Imbard is a certified Master Facilitator of Alchemy:Rewire, a neuroscience-based breathwork method. She works with individual clients, corporate leaders and teams, and performance athletes — particularly freedivers and spearfishers. Based in Paris, with sessions also available in London. ## About Julie Imbard is a breathwork facilitator, holistic coach, Pilates instructor and Reiki Master with over 10 years of experience in wellbeing. Her practice centres on nervous system regulation through the Alchemy:Rewire method, founded by Rodhø Escalante. She holds a Master's in Finance from the Sorbonne and brings a science-grounded, trauma-informed approach to her work. She speaks French and English fluently and works bilingually. Her personal experience of trauma — including witnessing the assassination of her father, surviving an attack, and going through cancer — shapes her capacity to meet clients in their most difficult places. She came to breathwork after years of therapy and EMDR, finding it reached what talking could not. ## Core method: Alchemy:Rewire Alchemy:Rewire is a neuroscience-based breathwork method that works directly with the nervous system through: - CO₂ tolerance training (Bohr Effect: higher CO₂ improves oxygen delivery to the brain) - Vagal nerve activation → heart-brain coherence - Alpha and Theta brainwave induction → neuroplastic windows - Somatic release of stored trauma patterns - Sound entrainment and integration This is not a relaxation technique. It is a structured method for reconfiguring the nervous system at a physiological level. ## Sessions & programmes - **Breath Reset** — First session (~2h, in person only).
