LEAP scores Ashley Roberts' Breathwork book
LEAP, the new imprint of Bonnier Books UK, has acquired Breathwork by radio host, television presenter and former member of The Pussycat Dolls, Ashley Roberts.
Senior editor Madiya Altaf acquired world all-language rights from Alex Fisher at M&C Saatchi Merlin and the book will publish on 17th July 2025. Breathwork will be published in hardback, e-book and audio on 17th July 2025 by LEAP.
The publisher said: “Ashley Roberts is no stranger to constant change, stressful scenarios and the pressures of a demanding career. But over the years, she’s experienced extreme restlessness, anxiety and terrible sleep. After some acutely difficult events in her personal life, including the death of her father, Ashley found herself struggling and reached out for help.
“Through simple breathing techniques, Ashley implemented these accessible methods and found that not only her mental health improved but she also experienced deep sleep. For the first time in a long time, she felt a sense of calmness and connection to her authentic self.
“In this book, Ashley shares the effective tools that have helped her in her self-improvement journey. Filled with practical breathing exercises, mantras, affirmations and meditations, Ashley takes you on a journey to improve your mental and physical wellbeing and find inner peace.”

Roberts has hundreds of hours of breathwork experience and is collaborating closely with a trained breathwork expert “in crafting the most accessible book on the subject”, the publisher said.
Roberts said: “I’ve been a singer, presenter and performer; hiked up mountains and meditated with gurus, but breathwork is the one thing that has made a huge impact on my life and wellbeing.
“I started years ago, based purely on the feeling it gave me, and now knowing the science behind it I’m wanting to share this knowledge. I’m so excited and honoured to have this opportunity. It helps me and it’s my hope that it can help others. That’s the goal.”
Altaf said: “I’m so excited to be working with Ashley on her book. The practise of breathwork has the power to change people’s lives and through Ashley’s guidance this incredible tool is broken down into simple, easily applicable steps for readers to employ in their day-to-day [life]. Ashley’s own experience, along with expert advice and guidance, makes this the perfect book to improve mental health and wellbeing.”
Roberts is a presenter, broadcaster, musician and actor. She is most famously known for being a member of The Pussycat Dolls, which sold over 55 million records worldwide, becoming one of the world’s bestselling female groups of all time. She now hosts numerous TV shows and is part of the presenting team on Heart Breakfast.
Leap was unveiled by Bonnier Books UK in December, headed up by Carole Tonkinson.
