Breathe Better. Feel Better. Live & Perform Better.
Evidence-informed breathing education and breathwork for everyday life, wellbeing and performance.
Your breathing is with you all day, every day.
I help you understand how you're breathing, why it matters and how to develop practical breathing skills that can support stress regulation, focus, recovery, sleep and performance.
In Geelong + online worldwide.
THE GUIDED BREATH
You don't need another complicated thing to do.
You might be functioning well on the outside but feel like you're constantly switched on.
You might be tired, stressed, overwhelmed or finding it difficult to properly switch off.
You might want to improve your breathing for sleep, exercise, recovery, focus or performance.
Or perhaps you're simply curious about something you've been doing thousands of times a day without ever being taught how.
Your breath is a place to start.
My approach is practical, evidence-informed and tailored to you.
How can I help.

My approach
I don't believe breathing needs to be complicated.
I start with understanding you, your breathing and what you want to achieve.
From there, we work with practical breathing education and techniques that make sense for your circumstances.
Depending on your needs, this may include:
Breathing awareness
Functional breathing
Nasal breathing education
Breathing mechanics
Breathing cadence and rhythm
Nervous-system regulation strategies
Relaxation and recovery breathing
CO₂ tolerance exercises
Performance breathing
Conscious Connected Breathwork, where appropriate
There is no one-size-fits-all breathing technique.
And you don't need to push yourself to have a meaningful experience.
Why The Guided Breath?
I have completed more than 650 hours of professional education across breathwork, Functional Breathing and breathing science.
My training includes:
Biodynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release System® Levels 1, 2 & 3
Advanced Functional Breathing training through Oxygen Advantage®
Professional Membership of the Australian Breathwork Association
Ongoing professional development in breathing science and practice
My approach is evidence-informed, trauma-aware and choice-led.
My aim isn't simply to guide you through a breathing session.
It's to help you understand your breathing and develop skills you can take with you into everyday life.
