Here What our Valued Clients have to say.
As a former C-suite executive, I’ve been deeply entrenched in the cognitive world. It's brought me a lot of success, and therapy has helped me to reach a point, but it was only going to take me so far. I'd learnt pranayama at yoga retreats but hadn't experienced or understood the benefits of implementing performance based techniques into my daily routine.
I found Paul’s program both insightful and profoundly beneficial. His support in adjusting and improving my breathing mechanics, and expert guidance in implementing techniques into my daily routine, tailored based on my progress each week kept me motivated.
His calm and thorough explanations put me at ease from the get-go. Knowing what to expect was reassuring, especially for someone like me who loves understanding the ins and outs of everything.
I knew coming into this that I was carrying a lot of tension, however, during the program I was able to identify the areas and learn how to release them. Being able to quickly quieten my mind from a million thoughts provides me with greater clarity and focus, and new found energy.
This breathwork program unveiled a new way of connecting with myself beyond my thoughts and intellect. It was more than I anticipated, profound beyond words, and I can’t recommend Expansive Breath enough.

Above I’ve provided the foundations, now I would like to share a little bit about who I am, and for simplicity have split up into four phases:
Phase 1: The Young Aspiring Professional Basketball Player and Academic
Combining professional sport and academia is never easy, this required a lot of discipline, motivation and focus. From the classroom to the basketball court, I was able to find my balance in a way that brought me success. Graduating Durham University with a BA (Hons) Degree, and Masters, while also finding success on the basketball court in the way of Sportsman of the Year at University, Honoury Life Time Member, National Basketball Player of the Year, League Titles, Playoff Championships, and at one point honoured to wear the uniform of my country.
Phase 2: Ten Year Corporate professional
The transition from professional sport to corporate world can be complex and eye-opening, one day you’re playing basketball for a living and the next you’re thrown into the deep end to project manage an acquisition project and data migration at one of Australia’s biggest Telco’s, and then to spend the next ten years honing your crafts and building a career in software engineering as a Lead.
Phase 3: A Blindside that Changed Everything
The tragic loss of my partner to suicide in 2019 resulted in the biggest challenges I’ve ever faced. Before then, I lived with challenges like you all when driving for success - self-doubt, ‘am I good enough’, bits of stress and anxiety always crept in, and limiting beliefs that had been shaped since entering this world lingered. However, after December, 2019 - I found myself completely broken, it was like I was starting from scratch again. All the strength I had went into navigating my loss and the lost freedom we all experienced during covid. I was surviving work and daily life but I wanted, or even needed, to get better and held curiosity on how I could overcome my challenges of: chronic stress; anxiety, complex PTSD and trauma; and bouts of depression.
Phase 4: The Breathwork Coach
Then came breathwork. It would be no surprise that to be able to support others, I would first have to overcome my own challenges. This is what I spent four years doing, I educated myself in Trauma (this is what underpins the majority of our challenges in my experience), anxiety and stress, the Mind and Body connection, the nervous system, and Breathwork. I developed myself through the certifications mentioned above and practical experience gained over the last 12 months. I continue to expand my knowledge and implementation to ensure I am providing safe, proven and effective coaching methods.

This depends on your willingness to invest in yourself. At a foundation, the program consists of six weekly 30 minute sessions and two 60 minute breakthrough sessions. You should expect to commit a minimum of 10-20 minutes per day to complete your daily breathwork practices. For some it works to create new habits loops, or habit stack the practices as not to introduce overwhelm, for others, they like to strategically fit sessions around their calendars or family life. There is always a way to introduce new healthy habits, and as a part of this program we will discover which way is most efficient for you.

We use two methods known as body oxygen level test (BOLT), and maximum breathlessness test (MBT).
BOLT measures the body's sensitivity to the gas carbon dioxide, it's an important test to measure the health of your functional breathing patterns and assess how your breath could be impacting your overall health.
MBT measures how long you can hold your breath for, this test signifies the quality of your everyday breathing and influence on anaerobic performance.

Have you ever heard the saying "the body keeps the score"?
Throughout life, we are exposed to various external stimuli and experiences that influence the fluidity and regulation of our nervous system. I'm about to use a word that often carries a lot of stigma: trauma.
Trauma frequently underlies many of our life challenges. While we often associate trauma with something significant, severe, or catastrophic, this isn't always the case. Trauma shapes who you are today, encompassing a range of beliefs and emotional imprints that have been with you and developed since birth. Feelings of comparison over time can lead to lack of self-worth, or imposter syndrome - such as thinking "I'm not good enough for this role", or difficulties in creating healthy new habits - stem from trauma.
Trauma is neither inherently good nor bad. Resolving trauma involves finding ways to repair our nervous system, and our response to stress and overwhelm, which helps calm the mind and body, paving the way for resilience and growth.
