Credentials
Facilitator (trained with Niall O’Murchú), Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor, Ice Bath Teacher, movement coach; postgraduate in psychoanalytic studies (Trinity College Dublin), philosophy (Leuven).
Where did you complete your training (or where are you still in training)?
I started with a Wim Hof instructor Niall O’Murchú (Blissful Breath Academy) in 2023 as a Master Breathwork Facilitator. I’m also an Oxygen Advantage Advanced Instructor and an Ice Bath Teacher.
What do you enjoy about breathwork and how has it helped you?
The breath is the mind made visible. That’s what still gets me. You can’t think your way out of a state you’re in, but you can breathe your way into a different one. For me it was a way back into my body after years of living almost entirely in my head. It gave me something to lean on when nothing else was working.
Are you trained in any other modalities?
Movement coaching and strength training, cold and heat exposure, and a background in psychoanalytic studies and philosophy. I’m training in somatics this month.
How do they integrate with breathwork?
Breath is where I start, but it isn’t where I stop. Breath calms and steadies the system, movement builds the body that has to carry you, cold and heat teach you to stay present under pressure, and the psychoanalytic side helps me listen to what’s underneath. My framework is Release, Retrain, Strengthen, Develop. Strength comes out of flexibility — in the nervous system, the body and the mind.
What is your personal journey?
I spent the first part of my life studying the mind — philosophy, then psychoanalysis. It didn’t stop me from struggling in it. For years my breathing was dysfunctional, and looking back, so was a lot of how I lived.
In 2019 I had a bad motorcycle accident. Concussion, memory loss, vertigo. COVID had just started, I couldn’t get the care I needed, and I was trying to get a new business off the ground at the same time. That winter I was living by the sea and came across the Wim Hof method. It was the first thing that gave me some ground under my feet again. A couple of years later I trained with a Wim Hof instructor, and eventually became a breathwork facilitator myself.
What I learned is that when the struggle ends, emptiness moves in. You need something to lean into. For me that became strength — physical, mental, emotional. That’s what I try to help other people build
What do you stand for, and what do you stand against?
I stand for people getting back into their bodies and building real strength to handle pressure — and for honesty about how hard that is. I stand against breathwork sold as a quick fix or a peak experience you chase. It’s a practice, not a performance.
What is your greatest wish for your clients
That they stop needing me. That they leave with tools they own, a body they trust, and the ability to meet pressure without being run by it.
