For much of my early life, I lived in a state of internal friction.

I grew up struggling with ADHD, anxiety, and addiction, constantly feeling like I was working against myself. I was driven, curious, and capable, yet caught in patterns of self-sabotage that I didn’t fully understand at the time. I pushed hard, burned out often, and rarely felt settled in my own body. Stress felt familiar. Calm did not.

In 2019, everything changed — not suddenly, but irreversibly.

I lost my sister Yvonne at just 49 years old. Her death was a profound shock and a catalyst for change, but not in the way people often expect. There was no overnight awakening, no instant clarity. What followed instead was a long, difficult, and deeply humbling period of reckoning. Grief stripped away a lot of the stories I had told myself about who I was and how I was living. It forced me to confront patterns I could no longer ignore.

The six years since then have been a rollercoaster. Building this work has cost me personally — relationships, security, comfort — but it has also given me the most important education of my life. Not just in physiology or breath or cold exposure, but in people, vulnerability, and the nervous system’s need for safety before change.

In 2020, I founded Breatheolution.

Since then, I’ve worked with over 4,000 people, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD, trauma, abuse, addiction, ADHD, asthma, COPD, claustrophobia, and many other stress-related and interoceptive challenges. There is no reaction or response to cold water immersion I haven’t witnessed. Over time, patterns began to emerge — not just in physiology, but in behaviour, habit, and the way the body remembers.

This led me deeper into trauma-informed practice.

Alongside my work with clients, I now train others. I’ve helped over 50 people become safe, effective Cold Water Therapists, and trained nearly another 50 staff working in contrast therapy centres across the UK. My focus is not on endurance or intensity, but on understanding how stress is met — and how it can be met differently.

I hold qualifications as an Advanced Oxygen Advantage Instructor, Buteyko Method Coach, and Cold Water Therapist, and I continue to research and refine this work through lived experience, education, and collaboration. I specialise in teaching complex physiology in a way that is relatable and digestible — helping people understand anatomy, biomechanics, biochemistry, and breath awareness without overwhelm.

My approach integrates multiple modalities, including Buteyko, Oxygen Advantage, Tummo-style cyclic breathing, breathing coordination, regressive and transformative practices, conscious connective breathing, and somatic movement. But techniques are never the point. Awareness is. Context is. Choice is.

At the heart of Breatheolution is the belief that the body is not broken. It adapts. It protects. And when given the right conditions — education, safety, pacing, and compassion — it can learn again.

This work is not about fixing people.

It’s about helping them understand themselves well enough to stop fighting their own nervous system.
