EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE EXPERIENCES

PRIVATE SESSIONS

Are you wanting to step into the freediving world with a personal, intimate approach? Are you anxious about the idea of diving deep? Is there a deep fear of breath holding, being face down in a body of water? Over the five years Liv has been teaching freediving she has experienced a wide variety of individuals with varying relationships to the sea. From childhood trauma, deep rooted anxiety and multiple learning difficulties. Becoming a freedive instructor doesn’t make you a psychologist but teaching such a sport where mental strength is everything, naturally you become a voice to listen to, a shoulder to cry on and hand of support. This is where Liv’s gentle understanding approach really shines through.

- One on One breathwork session, building your ability and comfort levels to breath hold.
- Privately guided freedive course, from introductions in the pool to open water.
- Learn as a family, book a private introduction to freediving in the privacy of your own home.

“My family had the pleasure of booking Liv for a private experience on Lord Howe Island. Liv's sense of calm, fun, and passion for the ocean is infectious. As an educator, it was fascinating to see how engaging Liv's delivery of the theoretical and practical content was. With Liv's knowledge and guidance, I felt really safe to apply what I'd learnt and peacefully push my mind and body. I appreciated the way Liv spoke about separating the ego from your freediving experience; her approach to people and marine environments is humbling.” - Private Experience with Island House Guests on Lord Howe Island 2023

“Pete and I are very fortunate to have completed an introductory free-diving course with Liv. We have been sailing the WA coast and spend almost everyday in the ocean, either snorkelling or foraging for dinner. We both felt we could get more out of the experience if we knew more about breath holding techniques to maximise our time under the surface. We reached out to Liv who was able to customise a course specific to our needs. Liv is highly knowledgeable, incredibly patient and safety-conscious. Her passion for the ocean and its inhabitants really shines through in her teaching. The course covered everything from breath-holding techniques to effective equalisation methods. It was structured into three main components; theory, a pool component and a line diving component. The pool enabled us to hone our basic skills and practice our breath-holding techniques in a controlled environment. The line diving component was definitely a highlight for us. As well as helping us to push our limits, Liv also taught the recovery techniques for an unconscious diver; a critical skill for us both to have based on the fact that we're often diving in remote locations. The underwater sounds of whale song all around us, as we ventured down into the depths was next level! Liv also provided us with helpful take-away resources to assist with continuing to improve our free-diving skills. This private course met our needs perfectly. We have acquired a valuable skill set and have a newfound love for free-diving. Without a doubt, a 5 Star experience!” - Private Beginner Freediver Course 2023

“The freediving course with Liv for The Sea, for myself, was an incredible and transformative challenge. Mental and physical barriers were faced. It’s was journey of completely surrendering to the mind, the body, the ocean and all its beauty while being supported by the amazing Liv! Right from the start it’s evident Liv’s knowledge, passion experience and support that she provides. No boundary is too hard as long as you are willing to do the work and face challenges front on, Liv will be there to support you the whole way through your freediving journey. Diving into the theory saw myself facing some challenges that arose mentally. It was confronting and a realisation that freediving isn’t just about getting down deeper, it’s also a journey within the mind and body. Completely surrendering and being okay with all that lies in the mind. At this point it was easy to walk away and put it in the too hard basket. However with Liv’s support and the determination within I insisted to keep going. Next challenge saw me continue to struggle with my ears! Liv did not give up hope, she went above and beyond to ensure every possible option was tried before writing it off. After trying multiple techniques and exercises it was an evening dedicated to the ears where is finally clicked. Pure excitement hit at the prospect of finally being able to dive deeper without the ears getting in the way. The final moment of the open water sessions where it’s all about to come together. The moment of going down the line, everything you’ve put into the course, into yourself is worth experiencing the feeling of moving down the line and coming back up to the float taking your first breath. Feelings rush through your body, with an overwhelming sense of euphoria to then be able to celebrate with Liv at the surface who shares equal excitement! Liv’s mentoring, dedication, support and love from the start to the end is what made this possible. I couldn’t recommend Liv for the Sea enough! I personally couldn’t imagine doing my course with anyone else. Whether you already have experience freediving and want to expand your skills Liv for the Sea is where you need to be! Thankyou so much Liv, I can’t wait to continue expanding my skills and keep exploring the blue 🌊🧜‍♀️✨🐟” - Private Course on Lord Howe Island 2023

”Whilst here on Lord Howe, Hamish Blake chose to challenge himself with something he always battled with, the breath and fear of not being able to breathe. As an asthmatic, the fear instilled in him as a young child has stayed with him till today. The desire to surface suppressed fear in order to grow and break free from the past, reflects incredible courage and bravery of an individual. A Static apnea session is a form of mental therapy. You will be faced with demons and fears that may habe been suppressed for some time, or maybe you didnt even rea;ise they were there. I have students who come up crying, students who simply say they cant, I wont. Students who rise with an epiphany of the power if the mind and for some it can be a spiritual journey, just like it was for Hamish.” - 2021 with Hamish Blake. An exert from Liv’s social media post.
