# The Place to Pause & Breathe
Pause & Breathe CIC is a not-for-profit community interest company dedicated to making wellbeing accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. Founded by Susie Hooper and Phil Blackburn, this Bonnybridge-based organisation operates from a conviction that good mental, physical and emotional health shouldn't be a luxury.
The business serves the local Falkirk community through two wellbeing centres, offering a thoughtfully curated range of holistic services. Rather than focusing on a single discipline, they've deliberately woven together multiple therapeutic approaches—mindfulness, martial arts, qi gong and wellness retreats—recognising that bodies and minds are interconnected. This integrated approach allows clients to find the modality that resonates with them.
What truly distinguishes Pause & Breathe is their commitment to accessibility. As a not-for-profit, they prioritise affordability over profit margins, explicitly aiming to remove financial barriers that typically prevent people from accessing wellbeing support. Their mission extends beyond delivering classes; they're genuinely invested in educating their community about the factors and resources that contribute to lasting health.
The personal touch matters too. Run by husband and wife practitioners who visibly embody the wellness philosophy they teach, there's authenticity to their work. They're not distant corporate wellness providers but engaged community members who genuinely believe everyone deserves access to tools for improved physical, emotional and mental wellbeing.
