Qualifications & Focus
Senior Physiotherapist
As a licensed Physiotherapist, I have a unique systems-based approach to health, understanding that nothing in the body works independently. Focusing on the root cause of pain or dysfunction in place of the symptoms allows for lasting change. I have incorporated the breath heavily into my clinical practice and have seen profound shifts in my patients. Continuing my work remotely with a clinic in Australia, I am able to help my patients manage pain, anxiety and stress and assist in discovering balance within their bodies.
Breathwork Coach & Educator
As a breathwork coach and educator I have spent the last 6 years working with hundreds of individual clients and trained over 100+ health professionals. I teach breath through a core methodology focused on biomechanics, physiology, emotions and the nervous system. Understanding the breath as a system allows us to identify specific areas that need to be improved. Awareness of breath is awareness of self, and learning how to connect mind and body is paramount for health and well-being. I have completed extensive training with Dan Brule (Fundamentals of Breathwork), the Wim Hof Method and Art of Breath (Shift) to become fully immersed in my understanding of the breath in addition to my background as a physiotherapist.
Heart Math Certified
Did you know that the heart sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart? These heart signals have a significant effect on brain function – influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. HeartMath techniques provide scientifically validated tools for managing stress and anxiety. I can help you tap into your heart’s intuitive directions for the best choices.
Physiology First's Functional Training
Physiology First is a non-profit health and fitness education center with a global mission to share the science of health and human potential with the next generation. This training provided me with professional development to understand the missing pieces of youth health and to plan for a future of health that will benefit all.
In addition to the above, I am a affiliate member with Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and an Accredited Professional Training Provider with International Practitioners of Holistic Medicine.
Guiding you through a holistic approach to wellness
I have combined my passion for breathwork with knowledge of anatomy and physiology and have developed an education system to teach people how to optimise their respiration, and how to use it as a tool for improved health and well-being. My own journey has been one of passionate curiosity, exploring the wide range of breathwork practices and the underpinnings of human optimisation. I teach not only the principles of breath, but also the foundations of health and performance.
Stress is not the enemy. Our relationship with stress can be one of negative response or positive adaptation. Instead of fighting against stress, we can learn to work with it to build resilience, forge new pathways to healing, and fundamentally re-write our stress response. We cannot separate ourselves from the stressors of modern life, instead we must create a more constructive relationship.
Through specific breathing practices, exposure to cold and training of mindset we can forge a resilient, robust system that is equipped to deal with today's world.
To breathe, move and feel 100% is achievable by all.
