From Law to Breathwork and Beyond

Send us Fan MailAlicia SnijdersFeaturing Alicia Snijders – From Law to Breathwork and BeyondAlicia Snijders is a former corporate lawyer who spent a decade in the legal profession before shifting paths entirely.In 2020, her world was shattered when she was raped. At 33, she believed she had life figured out, thriving in Sydney - only to have everything she knew about herself and the world upended.The aftermath was filled with darkness - self-doubt, isolation and a struggle to find her place. Despite her legal background, Alicia found herself navigating systems meant to support survivors that instead failed her - society's silence around sexual violence, a workplace culture that did little to foster healing and a justice system that routinely lets survivors down. These systems, designed to protect, instead deepened the struggle.The Power of Breathwork and Metabolic WellbeingTherapy was a crucial part of Alicia’s journey, but it was breathwork that truly helped her recalibrate her nervous system and reconnect with herself. Through conscious connected breathing, she discovered a way to heal beyond traditional methods.This didn’t happen overnight - it required time, effort and a shift in mindset. Alicia learned that real recovery meant detaching from toxic environments, finding a new community and embracing a holistic approach to wellbeing. Rest, nourishment and aligning with her true purpose became the foundation of her new life.Today, Alicia is a holistic health coach and breathwork facilitator, working with individuals to shift out of survival mode and reconnect with themselves, and with organisations to foster human-centered, wellness-focused workplaces. She uses breath, evidence-based tools and a grounded, compassionate approach to help people manage stress, regulate their nervous systems and find resilience in the face of adversity.Her story is not just one of survival, but of using trauma as a catalyst for change.🎧 Tune in to hear an honest conversation about healing, agency and what it means to return to yourself, one breath at a time.🔗 Listen now on all major podcast channelsIf you're curious about breathwork or want to bring wellness practices into your workplace, connect with Alicia to learn more.Support the showMetabolic Wellbeing Without the BS is more than a podcast—it’s a growing global movement.
