Dear Soma+IQ family, We need your help!

Bal and I are excited to share that we’re about to begin a research study exploring how breathwork can support individuals living with Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD).

We’re looking for adults (18–65, based in the UK) who may be experiencing ongoing physical symptoms—like fatigue, pain, or shortness of breath—that can’t fully be explained by medical tests, and who would like to take part in a one-month online breathwork program as part of Bal's PhD study.

The study includes:

A 10-minute daily guided breathwork audio.
Weekly online group sessions led by a practitioner.
Before and after questionnaires to assess progress.

Everything is online, voluntary, and confidential — and participants can join from anywhere in the UK.

If you know anyone who might benefit or be interested, we’d be deeply grateful if you could share our flyer in your networks or communities. Every share helps us reach people who could truly benefit from this research.

Thank you for helping us bring more understanding, care, and evidence-based awareness to the power of breathwork.

With gratitude,

Bal & Samir
