Functional Breathing Instructor, Oxygen Advantage
I am a breath work practitioner and endurance athlete and recently qualified as a Functional Breathing Instructor with the Oxygen Advantage. My interest in breathwork has developed over many years and I am particularly interested in the dynamic relationship between State of Breath and State of Being. My breath work journey has embraced the Wim Hof Method, Coherence Breathing and Oxygen Advantage. My work focusses on how breath work techniques can provide a “tool kit’ to influence physiological and mental states at the therapeutic level, for general wellbeing and also for boosting athletic performance and recovery. I believe breath work can be a catalyst for cultivating energy and resilience and is a fundamental tool in helping to unlock the clarity and restoration we crave at a cellular level - your breath is your birthright! I am based in Stroud, Gloucestershire and will work with small groups or on a 1 to 1 basis. This can be on a therapeutic basis to provide tools (techniques) for stress management, anxiety disorders, sleeping problems, aspects of dysfunctional breathing and for balancing the autonomic nervous system. The same tool kit approach can be offered for individuals or groups interested in experiencing the ‘feel good’ factor - calm, focus, presence and a mind-body reset - grounded in nature. My other interest is in how breath work protocols and nasal breathing can be used to enhance athletic performance and recovery and have experienced this first hand on the mountain trails. All of the above will draw on the key principles of the Oxygen Advantage Functional Breathing Techniques, as well as other breathing techniques.
