About me
My Approach
I believe that how you breathe shapes how you feel, think, and perform. Most people have never been taught to breathe well โ and years of stress, poor posture, and modern lifestyles have left many of us breathing in ways that keep our nervous system in a constant state of alert.
My work is about changing that. I help clients move from stress and shallow breathing into calm, efficient and powerful respiration. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, recovering from burnout, or looking to perform at your best โ it starts with the breath.
As Dublin’s Advanced Certified Oxygen Advantageยฎ Instructor, I use evidence-based methods to assess and retrain your breathing patterns. Combined with my training as an Master Breathwork Teacher through the Blissful Breath Academy, I bring together functional breathing science with transformative breathwork practices.
What makes my approach different is the integration of body, breath, and mind. My academic background in Psychoanalytic Theory and Psychology gives me a deeper understanding of the mental and emotional dimensions of stress, while nearly a decade of hands-on coaching โ in resistance training, mobility, boxing, and cold exposure โ keeps my work grounded in the physical.
I don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Every client is different, and I tailor programmes to meet your specific needs. I will meet you where you’re at.
