More About
Paul Elderkin

Grief can quietly dismantle us. Sometimes through a sudden loss, sometimes through the slow impact of burnout, anxiety, or the parts we lose along the way as we rebuild. My work supports people in the tender space after loss, or those who are high-functioning but need a place to process. I help people integrate grief into the nervous system, reconnect with their breath, and gently rebuild capacity for life again.

I bring experience informed by trauma, grief and breath science – that blends nervous system regulation with practical, daily tools of breathwork. This is not about “getting over it”. It’s about creating space to feel, metablise, and meet yourself where you are – without pressure to perform or be okay too quickly.

My background spans across extensive training through The School of Breath Science, graduating as a Practitioner, BA (Hons) in Sport & Heath Science, an MA in Management alongside other breath qualifications such as Oxygen Advantage, Transformational, and Pranayama. I’m also an ex-professional athlete, a former corporate professional with 10 years of leadership experience, and now an entrepreneur and founder of Out of Plaece, Plaece, and my own breath science practice.

This work didn’t start with credentials, it began with lived experience. After losing someone traumatically, I spent five years walking through the rawness of grief and rebuilding. Only after doing the work myself – slowly, honestly and imperfectly – did I step into this space supporting others.

Whether you’re navigating early grief, re-entering life after loss, or facing the overwhelm of stress and burnout, I offer grounded, regulated support to help you reconnect.
