Thurdsay Morning Breathwork Classes
With Andy webb “Breathwork helped me move from stress to calm, improve my mental clarity, and rediscover a more restful sleep.”
Join Andy every Thursday at 6:15 am for a 60-minute breathwork experience at Beattie Street Health Studio.
What to Expect
Andy Webb is a trained Buteyko breathwork facilitator who brings his lived experience and practice to every class. Having lived with asthma for most of his life, Andy discovered the Buteyko Method as a transformative tool. Through this practice, not only did his asthma symptoms reduce dramatically, but his snoring disappeared, and he now wakes each morning feeling deeply rested and rejuvenated. His sessions are gentle, accessible, and designed to provide you with tools that you can take home to enhance your daily breathing, sleep, and overall vitality.
What is the Buteyko Method?
The Buteyko Method is a scientifically grounded breathing retraining approach developed by Dr. Konstantin Buteyko. It focuses on normalising breathing patterns by:
Maintaining near constant nasal breathing for improved air filtration, diaphragmatic tone, and improved immune response to colds and flu.
Normalising breathing rate and volume to lower blood pressure and heart rate, improve vagal nerve tone, and more quickly rerert the nervous system into a rest and digest response.
Improving overall tolerance to carbon dioxide for better oxygen delivery to the brain and body
Practising Buteyko helps regulate the body’s oxygen and carbon dioxide balance, often improving conditions such as asthma, sleep issues, snoring, and anxiety. It supports calmer breathing, deeper rest, mental clarity and greater resilience to everyday life stressors.

Designed by Melinda Webb and Lucy Carroll
Antenatal Classes at Beattie Street Health Studio
Where breath becomes the bridge between body and being.
An immersive one-day experience designed to prepare you — body, mind, and heart, for birth.
This is not just another antenatal class; it is a journey of awareness, connection, and confidence.
About the Experience
This intimate, full-day class brings together the deep wisdom and lived experience of Lucy Carroll, midwife and birth educator, and Melinda Webb, founder of Beattie Street Health, Doctor of Chinese Medicine, doula since 2008, and health practitioner trained under Dr Joe Dispenza.
Their collaboration began years ago when Melinda was facilitating acupressure workshops for midwives, a shared moment with Lucy, that sparked a friendship grounded in a mutual love for birth, family, and the transformative power of knowledge. Together, they now weave decades of experience into a day that honours both the physiology and the energy of birth.
What You’ll Experience
This class offers a spacious and supportive environment to explore the physical, emotional, and energetic pathways of birth.
You’ll learn how awareness and preparation can replace fear with flow, allowing you to move through change with trust and the joy of meeting your baby.
Throughout the day, you will:
Understand the stages of labour and the natural physiology of birth.
Explore the connection between breath, body, and mind to cultivate calm and confidence.
Learn how to work with your care team and birth environment to feel safe, supported, and seen.
Discover how mindset and presence can transform your birth experience.
Create a plan that honours your values, your body, and your baby.
The Heart of the Work
Lucy brings her expertise as a midwife and educator, guiding you through evidence-based birth knowledge with compassion and clarity.
Melinda brings her wisdom in Traditional Chinese Medicine, breathwork, and the energetic preparation for birth, offering insight into how breath and awareness influence the nervous system, energy flow, and emotional readiness.
Together, they hold a space that blends the science of birth with the practice of being.
What You’ll Take Away
You’ll leave feeling informed, grounded, and connected, ready to meet your baby with a sense of joy and familiarity.
This experience isn’t just about birth; it’s about preparing for the profound transition into parenthood, with tools that help you remain centred, calm, and open to whatever path your birth takes.
