Karen Farrell is a Breath Expert and high-energy speaker who helps students and educators manage stress, build confidence and perform at their best using a powerful but often overlooked tool, their breath.
Her talk introduces a simple, science-backed approach to regulating the nervous system, enabling young people to feel calmer, think more clearly, and show up with confidence in exams, presentations, and everyday school life. Karen’s sessions are highly interactive, giving audiences the chance to experience these techniques in real time, not just learn about them.
With a Bachelor of Music and a background as a trained singer, Karen discovered early on how effective breathing techniques can transform performance under pressure. She now brings this experience into education, making wellbeing practical, accessible, and immediately useful.
Karen has delivered sessions for educational organisations including LIBF, University of Salford, and Institute of Leadership. She has also worked with global companies such as LinkedIn and Visa. In 2025, she was recognised as a finalist for Best Newcomer at the London Speaker Awards.
Known for her dynamic, science-meets-performance approach, Karen blends breathwork, mindset, and nervous system education to create engaging and practical sessions. Students and staff leave feeling calmer, more focused, and equipped with simple techniques they can use immediately to reduce stress and improve performance, skills that extend far beyond the classroom.
