That experience opened up an entirely new world for me. Building on my honours degree in Psychology, I went on to study breathwork, functional breathing, nervous system regulation, and the science of stress. Bit by bit, I rebuilt my capacity. I learned how to downshift, how to recover, and how to create space between effort and depletion. I stopped fighting my body and began working with it.

That process reshaped everything — not just how I lived, but how I understood human performance, tension, and resilience. And it’s the reason I created the Breathe@work Program. I wanted to share what I had discovered: that we all have an incredible, often‑overlooked ability to regulate, restore, and support ourselves from the inside out. Most of us simply haven’t been taught how.
