The practice
I work one to one with a small number of private clients, on Harley Street and online. The work uses the breath as a way into the nervous system, and into everything the nervous system has been holding. People leave calmer, clearer and more like themselves, and it lasts because the change happens in the body.
Your breath is the only automatic function in your body that you can also take over consciously. It runs around 26,000 times a day from the brainstem, at the base of your skull. That makes it the most direct way I know to change how you feel, day after day.
The method
My work is rooted in Facilitated Breath Repatterning. Every session works on three levels at once, and it is the combination that makes the change last.
The altered state
Connected breathing, attuned touch and music create a calm, altered state. In it, the defences of the thinking mind soften. Emotion that has been held in the body for years is able to move.
The mechanics
A release fades if your everyday breathing stays the same. Through hands-on work around the diaphragm and ribs, I retrain how you breathe outside the room. That is what makes the change hold.
The patterns
How you breathe shows how you move through the world. The parts of you that hold everything together show up in the breath first. We work with them directly, so you leave living differently, not just breathing differently.
This is not a replacement for therapy. I often work alongside clients’ therapists, and for specific conditions I work with other qualified clinicians.
Where to begin
A private one-to-one programme.
Private sessions for leadership teams working under sustained pressure, such as offsites or deal teams mid-transaction. The work is the same as one-to-one, held in the room with your team. Everything is confidential.
A residency at The Mandrake in Fitzrovia, running group breathwork through October and November.
Some sessions are restorative and slow. Others are upbeat, with more sound and more charge.

Who I work with
My clients are often founders, leaders and people with public lives. Most understand themselves well and have done therapy, meditation or retreats. What they want is for their body to catch up with what they already know.
I most often work with anxiety, burnout, grief, life transitions and the patterns that repeat in relationships. Where trauma or compulsive patterns are involved, I work alongside a client’s therapist or clinician. Everything is private, and I never share who I work with.

The guide
I have lived with anxiety for as long as I can remember, and I spent ten years in corporate real estate in London. I know what it is to look fine and never fully switch off. Breathwork was the first thing that changed how I felt in my body, not just how I understood my mind.
I have also had hundreds of hours of CBT for OCD, and it taught me a great deal. The deeper change, for me and for the people I work with, came when the body was brought into the work too.
I trained in Facilitated Breath Repatterning and now practise from The Anthony Group Practice at 15 Harley Street, and online. I work with a small number of private clients at any one time.
