  • Functional Breathing Expert / Improving Performance and Well-being

    • 2020 - Mar 2023
    • Scotland, United Kingdom

    Through the Elements of Breath I help companies, athletes and individuals to optimise their health, well being and performance through their breath. By delivering a bespoke service that meets the specific needs of each client I am able to help your company feel better, think better and perform better. Many of my clients are dealing with high levels of stress and fragile mental health, both for themselves and those they lead, I can help. I can provide a long term solution. I teach people how to move from a state of stress to a state of calm relaxation, where focus and performance come easier and last longer. I help people retrain how they breathe so that functional breathing becomes normal, this leads to long term health, well being and performance benefits. Each business is treated separately and will be given a bespoke service from me. I will work on group goals whilst supporting the individual needs of each person. The services I offer are:✅ 121 Packages:These are high impact sessions which focus on empowering my clients through working on how they breathe, offering increased energy, reducing stress and improving mental health.✅ Group Courses:Courses are perfect for creating sense of togetherness through functional breathing. These courses create impact for both the individual and whole group, allowing whole teams to journey through the course material together whilst improving mental health, performance and team dynamics.✅ Workshops:The workshops will explain how the breath affects people physiologically, psychologically and socially. An understanding of what constitutes dysfunctional breathing, along with simple, yet effective, exercises makes the workshops powerful and meaningful. ✅ You can also develop your own bespoke packages made up of 121s, courses and workshops, to fit the needs of your company.
