Living the human experience with curiousity.
About.
New Day Vibes is a space to slow down and listen inward. To the body, the breath and what’s quietly asking for attention.
It grew from a curiosity about the human experience and what becomes possible when we stop pushing and start paying attention.
Our approach is trauma and nervous system informed, shaped by care, presence and gentle attention.
Safety, pacing and choice are honoured, allowing the nervous system to build capacity and flexibility to meet life’s ebbs and flows.
We use breath as an invitation, rather than a tool, to support regulation, presence and clarity,
without force or expectation.
New Day Vibes offers individual breathwork and meditation sessions, guided group experiences, 1:1 coaching and intentional practices designed to support presence, regulation and embodied awareness.
Melena Birtles, Founder.
At its heart, this work is about presence and living the human experience with curiosity. Creating space for what feels true and meeting our edges with care.
This work didn’t come to me quickly.
For over 20 years, I worked in the corporate world. Leading teams. Holding responsibility. Managing pressure and constant change. I know what it feels like to keep going. To perform. To override.
Significant turning points forced me to stop pushing and start paying attention. They changed how I related to work, relationships, my body and myself.
The impact was not subtle.
Burnout. Chronic illness.
Dissociation. Fear. Fight. Flight.
Reactivity. Hypervigilance.
Anxiety and panic.Disconnection from my body.
Loss of identity. Grief.
And finally, remembering.
After years of traditional therapy, self care rituals, meditation, coaches and self-study, I discovered Breathwork. It rounded out the work I had already done.
It helped me move out of my head and into my body. To build capacity and emotional flexibility, rebuild trust in myself and learn to truly sit with what was there.
Completing my Breathwork Facilitator training deepened my understanding of the nervous system and the science of the breath. How stress and trauma live in the body and how breathing patterns can support regulation when held safely.

Choose your path.
I work with people who are used to holding a lot.
Through 1:1 breathwork and meditation, guided group experiences and 1:1 coaching, I offer space to step out of the constant doing, notice what’s present and build capacity to move through change and uncertainty with less pressure and more trust.
Kind words.
Our Philosophy.
We believe that curiosity keeps us open.
That there is wisdom in slowing down.
In noticing, rather than pushing.
In allowing, rather than forcing.
Our approach is embodied and grounded in safety and presence.
It does not seek intensity or performance.
It invites reflection and discovery, at your own pace.
It’s not about fixing or controlling anything.
It’s about learning to stay with what is present.
And creating space for the body to breathe and soften.
