After 27 years as a professional international musician, I have learnt a lot about stamina, resilience, and performing under pressure. My career took me to the global stage, touring and recording with some of the biggest names in music—but behind the scenes, the relentless schedule and a hedonistic lifestyle pushed my nervous system to the brink and eventually took a serious toll on my health.

When my nervous system collapsed, I was forced to stop and reevaluate everything. A doctor recognised the signs of chronic hidden hyperventilation, something I had never heard of, and referred me to a Buteyko breathing clinic. At that point, I could barely walk myself through the door. But one week into the course—after fully committing to the method—I felt different. It was the moment I realised: my breathing had been part of both the breakdown and the recovery.

The results I experienced from retraining my own breathing were so profound, they genuinely shocked me. It became clear just how much my symptoms were tied to the way I was breathing—and how quickly things could change with the right approach. That experience led me to become a certified Buteyko Institute practitioner, completing my qualifications in 2018. 

Now, I help others discover the same powerful connection between breathing, symptoms and wellbeing, supporting them to take control of one of the most overlooked keys to health. 

Whether you're struggling with dental issues, fatigue, anxiety, panic, sleep disorders, or just looking to function and perform at your best, I offer practical, science-based breathing retraining that meets you where you're at—and helps you move forward. I bring to my practice grounded focus and energy, with a touch of rock’n’roll spirit and a deep respect for the power of simply breathing well.
