Michael Cameron

Michael Cameron is a breathwork facilitator and the founder of Room To Breathe. He brings together breathwork, tarot and shadow work, which he describes as three doors into the same room. Tarot shows where a person is and where they are heading. Shadow work looks at the parts of ourselves we have avoided out of shame or fear. Breathwork integrates what has been shown, reaching what words can't and unlocking what the body has been holding.

By his own account, Michael spent the first forty years of his life feeling lost and disconnected. He grew up in an ultra-strict cult, hid that he was gay, and was forced into conversion therapy when his parents found out. He became a chronic people-pleaser. In his twenties he met Nicholas, and they spent 19 years together until Nicholas died unexpectedly. Breathwork came into his life in the midst of that grief and gave him a glimmer of hope. It helped him process the loss and reconnect with himself.

Alongside breathwork, he found healing through shadow work, neurolinguistic methodology and tarot, which had interested him since the 90s. He founded Room To Breathe to combine these tools and help others free themselves from limiting beliefs and live authentically. His stated passion is to help people connect to their own magick and embrace their true selves with awareness and acceptance.

His Insight Timer page describes him as a guide in breathwork, shadow work and hypnotherapy, and credits him with developing the Shadow Breath Alignment (SBA) technique. SBA combines conscious connected breathing with exploration of the subconscious mind.

He works with people one to one, combining tarot readings and breathwork, and in group breathwork. Those who have worked with him often describe a calm, caring presence and a safe space to go deep. One client also mentions how he weaves mythology, music and breathwork together.
