Ally Mahon

I’ve been working within the holistic wellness space since 2014, when I first trained in Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. In 2019, I began training in conscious connected breathwork, a practice that became deeply transformative in my own life and ultimately shaped the direction of my work. Alongside this, I’m also trained in Reiki and Indian Head Massage, with my approach rooted in nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, mindfulness, and human connection. In 2017, I founded and ran my own mental health consultancy, Pauze, where I managed a network of 40 wellness practitioners over four years, delivering wellbeing initiatives, workshops, and experiences for both individuals and organisations. This gave me extensive experience within the corporate wellness space, partnering with businesses to create programmes that genuinely support employee wellbeing, connection, and mental health. This led me to being headhunted for a health tech app called Bloss, supporting employee wellbeing benefits focused on fertility, parenthood, and mental health, while managing a practitioner network of over 200 specialists ranging from psychologists and coaches to sleep experts and therapists. Part of my role was B2B sales, and I proudly secured a partnership with John Lewis which led to press coverage: https://employeebenefits.co.uk/healthcare-and-wellbeing/john-lewis-launches-parenthood-support-for-staff/255772.article. Alongside my corporate wellbeing work, I’ve facilitated and curated retreats and wellness experiences internationally, including in South Africa, Somerset, and India. These retreats have created spaces where people feel safe enough to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and experience a reset. Working closely with HR teams, founders, and leadership, I design and deliver tailored workshops, wellbeing days, retreats, and wellness programmes that combine strategic understanding with depth, warmth, and authenticity. I’ve also been invited to speak on panel discussions around employee mental health, workplace wellbeing, and the importance of nervous system regulation in modern working life. At the heart of my work is the belief that true wellbeing goes far beyond surface-level wellness initiatives. A core part of what I do is facilitating human connection, creating spaces where people can reconnect with themselves and with one another in a more present, authentic, and human way. When individuals feel regulated, grounded, and supported internally, it naturally transforms how they show up: how they lead, communicate, collaborate, and move through both work and life with greater clarity and ease.
