I launched my first book Why Does Daddy Breathe Funny? aimed at educating children and parents on the negative effects to our health of habitually bad breathing. Did you know it’s often hidden?
I suffered as a child through mouth breathing and chest breathing. I want future generations of young people and their guardians to be aware of the pitfalls of dysfunctional breathing and avoid the suffering I went through.
In 2025 there is still too little attention paid to the importance of how we breathe although from a preventative medicine point of view, there are more doctors within lifestyle medicine stressing its importance.
From a layperson point of view, if you take your breathing for granted, you’ll only think about it if you have a respiratory condition like asthma or feel like you can’t breathe if you suffer from sleep apnea or anxiety.
What many doctors don’t tell us and what we don’t get educated on e.g. at school is how improper breathing can lead to more than 150 medical conditions.
I’m passionate about getting breathing education into schools, colleges and universities.
I’m also keen to build on the work I’ve already done in the workplace with many firms on performance management using breathwork-inspired human development to help teams with their mindset and behaviour.
