Hi, I am Andy Squiff, I have worked in the creative industry for over 35 years as a graphic designer, web designer, photographer and film maker. I set up Squiff Creative in 2002 and I moved to the Forest of Dean in 2007 and fell in love with the beautiful natural landscapes here. I began my journey with Qi Gong and Tai Chi in 2011 and was instantly hooked, often practicing barefoot in the forest and finding that it not only balanced my work life but also enhanced my creative flow.

In 2020 I discovered cold water immersion in St Anthony’s Well, in the Forest of Dean. I was going through a very challenging period in my life. When I got in the well I was feeling very low and depressed. When I got out I felt euphoric!, I was keen to find out what had happened to me and discovered Wim Hoff and his method of breathing and cold water immersion. As I continued to try different breathwork techniques I finally tried Soma Breath. During a 1 hour breathwork session, on week 3 of their 21 day Awakening course, I had such a profoundly beautiful experience, that I decided I wanted to train and teach breathwork to others.

Since qualifying in 2023 I have shared my sessions with many different groups, from corporates to men’s groups and special needs clubs and have been offering a weekly class since mid 2024.
