It’s common
Some degree of dysfunctional breathing shows up in an estimated 50–80% of adults. Most never notice it.
Breathwork & Stress Management Speaker
You’ve been breathing wrong your whole life.
The science has been in the journals for decades. I bring it to the stage, and get your audience practicing it before they leave their seats.

What functional breathing is, and why your audience should care
A three-minute look at how breathing drives stress, focus and sleep, and why most adults are doing it wrong. Recorded at Startup Savannah Spark business accelerator program.
From the conference organizer
Read the full letter of recommendation“I would gladly recommend this class for future conferences and workplace wellness programs. It was a thoughtful and meaningful addition to the conference and provided participants with practical strategies they can continue using long after the event concluded.”
Why it matters
Stress, burnout and bad sleep aren’t three problems. They’re one cycle.
It compounds
Poor breathing fuels the stress response, and stress drives poorer breathing. It’s a loop that’s easy to miss and hard to escape.
It’s trainable
Breathing is the one part of the stress response you can control on purpose. Once your audience knows how, they can use it anywhere.
