CIARAN BREATHWORK

I've sat in your chair.

For nearly twenty years I worked in software - consulting, sales and leadership roles across start-ups, scale-ups and large enterprises. I know what it is to hit every target and still feel flat - to be fine in every meeting and running on empty everywhere else. Burnout was not just tiredness. During a period of work-related stress I had a mini stroke. I turned to breathwork as part of my recovery. That experience is why I teach prevention, not only recovery.

Breathwork found me when I needed it. I was skeptical. I like evidence, and I don't do incense. But the first time I did a full conscious connected breathing session, something shifted that years of sleep apps and gym memberships hadn't touched. So I retrained properly.

Today I'm a qualified business coach, a Level 2 Natural Lifestyle Coach, an Advanced Oxygen Advantage facilitator, and trained in Conscious Connected Breathwork. I mentor on the IMAGE business club as a breathwork and burnout coach. I run ultras, including the 100km Ultra Pirineu, and I've completed an IRONMAN. The work I care about most sits where human performance, nervous-system regulation and men's mental health meet.

I'm a coach and facilitator, not a therapist. If you have a trauma history or a medical condition, keep your existing professional support informed.

If you're successful on paper and flat everywhere else, I made this for you. Come to a Monday session. See what your breath does.
