After 25 years in Asia’s high-pressure financial markets, the relentless stress, anxiety, and muscular fatigue took their toll. Like many, I searched for solutions—but everything was compartmentalized: stress was a mental issue, fatigue a physical one. No one ever mentioned breathing. It was never talked about, let alone recognized as the underlying cause.

It wasn’t until I discovered Breatheology and the science of breathwork that everything clicked. Years of shouting on the trading floor had left me with a deeply dysfunctional breathing pattern, fueling the very issues I was trying to fix. The real breakthrough? Realizing how common this problem is—yet how few people recognize it. In a world facing rising stress and health crises, most still overlook the fundamental role of breathing in their well-being.

That realization was a turning point. I knew I had to get the word out—not just about breathwork, but about why it works. Understanding the science behind your breath is the key to unlocking real, lasting change. At this point I set up www.breathingedge.com

My Mission:

  • Help people reclaim their health and resilience through breathwork.
  • Teach the science behind breathing so people can take control of their own well-being.
  • Raise awareness about how much suffering is linked to poor breathing—and how easily it can be improved.

To discover what’s possible with breathwork is incredible.
To empower someone to change their own life? That’s priceless.

I’m based in New Zealand, but whether you’re in Australia, Asia, or anywhere in the world—if you breathe, I can help.
