BACKGROUND:
- Accredited coach & Connected Breathwork facilitator.
- Leading retreats & workshops for 3 years
- Training & mentoring Breathwork practitioners for 2+ years
- Professional musician & performer for 10+ years
MY STORY:
From the outside, my life looked successful. As a professional musician with a successful agency, performing in amazing venues around the world, I was living the dream – but internally, my system was under constant pressure.
In 2016, it caught up with me. Burnout forced me to stop and search for real answers beyond pushing harder or thinking differently.
That search led me to Connected Breathwork & personal development work. For the first time, I experienced deep rest, clarity, and a level of internal stability I hadn’t known was possible. As my nervous system changed, my energy, confidence, and direction came back.
That experience changed the trajectory of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve led retreats and workshops internationally – and now combine deep coaching with somatic work to help founders address their pressure at the root, and regain their full capacity
I’ve realised that lasting performance and fulfilment don’t come from pushing harder – they come from changing the state you operate from.

BACKGROUND:
- Started entrepreneurial journey at age 25
- Built successful travel and event business
- Started coaching career in 2020
- Breathwork practitioner since 2023
MY STORY:
After founding & running a travel and event company for 10+ years, I hit a point where all the things I was striving for didn’t make me fulfilled anymore.
On paper, I was living what looked like the perfect life.
And although everything already seemed “right” on the outside, I couldn’t fix the feeling by adding more experiences, more success, or more distractions. So I started looking inward.
On my journey into the world of self-development, I discovered Connected Breathwork.
I’m convinced that, especially when combined intentionally with coaching, it’s one of the most powerful, accessible, sustainable, and natural tools to significantly improve health, mental wellbeing, and self-reflection.
On a personal level, I feel a strong mission to help men show up in life in a way where they feel at peace without losing their ambition, and where their business success doesn’t come at the expense of their romantic relationships, an area where many founders struggle.
I guide men to reconnect with their emotional world without shame, master their triggers, and become strong role models for what healthy masculinity actually looks like.
