In this episode of Unguarded Minds, we’re joined by Abbie, a former UK police sergeant turned somatic breathwork practitioner. After serving for six years, Abbie experienced severe burnout and stress caused by both personal and professional trauma. On her journey to recovery, she discovered the power of somatics and working with the nervous system, leading her to a new passion for holistic healing.

Now, as the founder of Healing Blue Hearts, Abbie uses her experience to guide frontline workers in building resilience to stress and burnout through somatic breathwork and other healing modalities. In this conversation, she shares her powerful story of transformation, the mental and physical toll of frontline work, and how body-centered healing can provide the tools needed to live a more balanced and fulfilling life.

If you're struggling with burnout or seeking a fresh perspective on mental health recovery, this episode is filled with insight and actionable advice.
