Breathwork Principles I help people to better manage their stress through conscious breathing.

I never cared nor took any pride in how I dressed.

It was just a throw on whatever was there; clean or dirty.

Did it match? Didn’t care.

Did it have holes? Didn’t care.

Did it fit? Didn’t care.

But that’s all kinda turned upside down now.

It’s not like I’ve gotten into fashion or brands (I haven’t), I’ve just started to take much more pride in how I present myself to the world.

But even so, it’s less about the external and more of a reflection of my internal.

Caring about how I dress is now on par with how I care about my internal self.

Whether we like it or not we are all victims of our own judgements onto others, and for me dressing like I care is helping myself in first impressions whether it’s with potential clients, potential friends or partners.

Dressing well is my non verbal expression that I care about myself and in that I care about you. And it’s where I feel comfortable which supports how I move and interact with the world.

A huge influence for me was Guy Ritchie’s thoughts on “the suit” on Joe Rogan. Not heard it? I highly recommend.

One lesson I am mid-way through learning is the principle of assuming my future desired identity in the present.

To think the way I want to think.

To act the way I want to act.

To assume that I have all the wealth, abundance, and freedoms that I want to have.

In other terms; faking it into you make it.

To assume a sense of delusion that you are who you want to be and wait for the external to catch up.

I am seeing now my environment as nothing but a mirror of my identity.

It now makes sense how I’ve never struggled with motivation when it comes to training. Because from day one I just assumed the identity of someone who is physically healthy - despite the external reality as not quite there yet.

That positive identity was the self sustaining fuel I needed to hit the gym four days a week for the last five years. Without fail.

This lesson is both refreshingly freeing and empowering.

1. A Strong Why Always Trumps Motivation. Motivation is fleeting and unreliable. A compelling why is self-sustaining and compounds over time. Mine was rebuilding my health after years of veganism that quietly destroyed me.

2. You Find Out Who You Are. Every time you reach failure with a huge amount of weight floating above your skull, you discover exactly how you’re wired. You see your programming in real time, in the face of real resistance. Nothing reveals your window of tolerance like lifting. It’s a training ground for ego dissolution.

3. Training Builds Capacity. The more you push within your limits, the wider those limits become. Your tolerance for the chaos of life expands right along with it. There’s no downside to that — it’s the ultimate compounding asset.

4. Injuries Are Opportunities. They’ll happen. I’ve had my share. Each one is a chance to pause, listen, and deepen your relationship with your body. Anything that does that is a blessing, not a setback.

5. Marriage with Yourself. Training forces a level of self-listening most people never practise — the voice in your head, the way you breathe, the early signals of pain. Learning to hear all of it is the real long-term commitment.

6. Keep it Simple. The higher the complexity in the gym, the greater the injury risk. The same principle holds in life. Chaos invites pain. Simplicity protects you.

7. It Changes How You Move Through the World. Whether you look good, feel good, or both — you’ll carry yourself differently. You’ll know your limits and trust yourself because of them. You’ll show up better for your lovers, your friends, your family. There’s no price on that.

8. Men Care About How You Look More Than Women. Just something to sit with, lads.

I’ve spent years watching people struggle with the same problem.

They know their goals. They know what they should be eating. But somewhere between knowing and doing, it all falls apart.

Sunday night. Staring at the fridge. Googling recipes. Doing mental math on chicken breast. Adjusting portions. Starting over because the macros don’t add up. Three hours later you’ve got a plan that’ll last until Tuesday before life gets in the way.

I got sick of watching that. So I built something.

NutriFlow is a meal planning app that actually gets your nutrition right.

You tell it your goals. It builds your meal plan. Full recipes. Real food. Shopping list ready to go. In minutes, not hours.

No spreadsheets. No guesswork. No eating the same boring chicken and rice because planning something new is too exhausting.

But this is just the start.

Where it’s going:

→ Import your own recipes, auto-calculate the macros from your ingredients
→ Family mode - different targets for everyone, one shopping list
→ Meal prep guides built around your actual schedule
→ Sync with your wearables and adjust automatically based on your day
→ Restaurant mode - eating out without undoing the week
→ Grocery delivery straight from your meal plan

This is for the person who takes their health seriously but doesn’t want nutrition to become a part time job.

It’s for the busy parent who needs dinner sorted without the chaos.

It’s for the athlete who knows that food is training too.

It’s for anyone who’s ever stood in a supermarket at 6pm with no plan and just grabbed whatever.

Right now it’s in beta. It’s real, it works, and it needs genuine people willing to use it and tell me the truth about what’s missing.

That feedback is what turns this into something people can’t live without.

Let’s build this together.

I’ve been off here for four weeks.

Not just a cleanse. Just as space to think clearly about something I’ve been wrestling with for a while now.

Breathwork.

This work has been an essential part of my life for a decade. It’s shaped me. Moulded me. Helped me create a relationship with myself and the world I inhabit that I didn’t know was possible.

It’s been my playground a place to explore, to play, to teach. I’ve made lifelong friendships from it. It’s pushed me to my limits and guided me beyond them.

It truly is a lover in every sense of the word.

But like any long relationship, there are moments where you have to stop and ask yourself: is this still what I signed up for? Where it is now. What it’s become. Whether I still have a place in it.

I’ve been vocal before about the noise in this space the overclaiming, the spectacle, the practices that aren’t safe.

And honestly, I’ve felt stuck between two choices: leave it behind entirely, or keep going and risk becoming part of what I’m critical of.

Being off social media stripped away the filter. No algorithm. No comparison. No performance. Just me and the hard questions.

And what came out of that?

This.

A workshop simply titled Breath.

It’s not a rebrand. It’s not a pivot. It’s a love letter to the work I’ve spent ten years doing—the honest, grounded version of it that still matters to me.

Over three hours, I’ll share what this workFLOW ST8 Melbournew it does it. Stories from a decade of facilitating—the wins, the lessons, the failures.

And we’ll practice together. Nothing extreme. Nothing performative. Just an honest exploration in a room of people who are curious, skeptical, or simply looking for something real.

This is for anyone who’s felt the same tension I have—who’s seen what breathwork has become online and wondered if there’s still something underneath all that noise.

There is.

Taking care of mind, body and energy must become a, if not the, top priority the older you get.

Leaving it behind will wrack up a debt which may never be paid off.

See it as an investment; the earlier you start the higher the dividends later in life.

Sometimes we find ourselves living a life that drains our energy faster than it can be replenished. Like a bucket with many holes.

To take time to plug those holes is the investment.

It may seem like a step backwards, it may be difficult, but that’s the point. Sometimes you need to go backwards to go forwards.

“Wtf is breath coaching?”

If only I had a $ for every time I was asked that question.

My go-to response: it’s like a PT for your breathing.

And why would someone want or need such a service?

Well considering that the respiratory system is at or very close to the root of every other system in the body, not to mention the sad fact that most people are doing it wrong - I say it’s worth taking a look at.

Another fact: when you breathe well, everything else that you care about and actively working on is easier.

The good thing about breath training is that the results are profoundly life altering AND the can happen FAST. Like, within 3 months fast. And even better, once you train your breathing to work for you, it becomes automatic, meaning you don’t have to spend any more time or money addressing it again - it’s a one and done deal!

That’s why breath coaching is the new sexy thing on the block! 👊

When you truly understand this; you’ll give it your attention.

When you finally realise that how you breathe is the key that unlocks that door behind which is the life you’ve dreamt of; you’ll give it your attention.

When you realise that the power you think you’ve lost is literally sitting on your face, you’ll give it your attention.

I’ve been spending a lot of time this year wrestling with what it really means to do this work with both power and heart.

The breathwork world has exploded so fast that being “just” a facilitator doesn’t feel like it carries the same depth anymore. Everywhere I look I see the same borrowed lines, the same performances of depth without the substance beneath it.

And somewhere in the middle of all of that, I realised I’d drifted away from the kind of work I stood behind.

If you’ve been following me, you’ll know this year I stepped away from running public workshops and recently I stopped offering the hyperventilation-style classes too.

These were what built my reputation.

They were my main source of income.

They were what people knew me for.

And they were the pieces that slowly stopped feeling aligned.

Pulling away from them left me in a strange no man’s land.

Not fully in the old path, not yet clear on the new one.

And honestly… most people don’t really understand the weight of responsibility that comes with breathwork, especially in public settings.

What it stirs.

What it opens.

How deep it can run into the psyche.

There’s a potency in this work that very few people are actually equipped to hold.

This year has looked like trying something new, feeling it fall flat, stepping back, reassessing, and starting again.

Not a lot of momentum.

A lot of humility.

A lot of internal conversations that sounded like,

“Maybe I should just put all of this on pause for a while.”

And to be transparent social media has made that feeling louder.

I’m not built for the constant output, the algorithm chase, the performance of presence.

I don’t think many of us are.

But it holds the attention, so here we are, trying to navigate it without losing ourselves in it.

Still… even with the uncertainty, one thing has stayed steady: I know I’m good at what I do.

I know I care about getting this right. I know I’d rather move slower with integrity than rush with noise.

And I trust God.

I trust timing.

I trust that whatever is meant for me won’t slide past me even if the path to it looks nothing like what I imagined at the start of this year.

I’m on frequent flux between positive thought patterns and negative thought patterns surrounding many things that I do.

But the I remind myself; I have choice. I can either keep choosing the same patterns and behaviours - or I can make a wildly new choice.

Everything’s simple a matter of choice.

17/12/2025

Breathing technique is not something enough people discuss especially when it comes to high ventilation breathwork like Wim Hof or CCB.

It’s so common for people to add so much force speed and tension which disengages the body from the practice, and the breath from the signals of the body.

Why is this so common? Because when in a heightened state it feels almost intuitive to breathe this way as that is, technically, the functional way of breathing when in that state.

However in my experience breathing slow, with perfect form, in time to a steady rhythm gets me to where I want to go and it gets me there quicker, safer, more connected and with less unnecessary physical tension.
