The Breath Coach, Learn The Power Of Breathwork

Meet your coach

Hi, I’m Thomas

I’m the Founder and coach at The Breath Coach. I live in Devon on the South West Coast of the UK with my partner Francesca and 3 young children.

I’m passionate about sharing the benefits associated with functional breathing as it has profoundly impacted my life. My journey has taken me from the corporate world in London and feeling burned out to being healthy, happy, and full of energy. At age 45, I’m feeling the best I ever have, and looking back wish I had found this free health and performance tool earlier.

As a breathing coach, I specialise in coaching transformative breathing techniques that enhance your health, happiness, and performance. Whether you seek improved general physical and mental wellbeing or a competitive advantage in both amateur and elite sports, I am your breathing coach. I give you the tools and techniques to enhance your breathing, resulting in improved health, happiness, performance, and recovery.

Why Breathing?

Our breathing plays a pivotal role in our lives, overseeing our respiration which occurs 23,000 times daily or 7 million breaths annually. This autonomic function is essential for our survival and has a profound significance to our health and performance. The body's intelligence enables it to continuously adjust and modulate our breathing patterns and nervous system balance throughout each moment, second, and minute of the day.

it's evident that our breathing patterns play a pivotal role in our physiological, and psychological wellbeing. When our breath becomes rapid, shallow, and stressed, it reflects our own stress levels, which we acknowledge as detrimental to our health. Conversely, when we adopt light, slow and deep breathing, a sense of calmness envelops us, fostering both our physical and mental wellness.

Come and join me at the Breath Coach to discover the art of steering your emotions and physiology to directly influence the way you feel, move, perform and recover.

My approach involves simplifying the art of breathing, breaking it down to its fundamental elements. I guide you in recentering your focus on your breath and facilitating self-awareness. Through consistent practice, you'll harness its power to enhance your well-being and performance. Bid farewell to stress, competition nerves, overwhelm, and busy mind and welcome tranquility, along with a revitalised sense of focus and preparedness to tackle life's challenges, events, and competitions head-on.

What Can I Expect From a 1:1 with Thomas?

My1:1’s will give you the tools to change and adapt your breathing to improve the way you feel, move, perform, and recover both mentally and physically.

My courses have been designed as your route to breathing yourself back to your natural, healthy state. Every one of us was born with perfect breathing mechanics which over time became dysfunctional through a mixture of bad habits, stress, or possibly a trauma or life experience. The good news is we can relearn functional breathing.

I provide you with the tools to take control of your breath and wellbeing so you can apply them to what suits you in everyday life, be it creating calm through managing stress or giving yourself an advantage over your competitors in your chosen sports.

We spend time together gaining knowledge and testing your physiology, biomechanics, and biochemistry. Science tells us that bringing awareness to your breath and practicing breathwork, can increase oxygen uptake which creates a whole plethora of health benefits. Together we can make changes to your breathing to improve some or all of the following-

  • Francis Lee, God's Own Country, Ammonite. How breathing changed my life.

    Francis Lee, Film Director

    Working with Thomas on my breathing has been transformative.

  • Taylor Finnigan, Entrepreneur and founder of Dougos Eyewear

    I met Thomas through our shared interest in health and wellbeing and with our businesses being similar in helping people with health and sleep issues. I recently completed Thomas's 7-week breathing course and have seen great results. My breathing awareness is on point, my energy has increased and my sports performance has seen dramatic improvements. I would recommend Thomas to anyone who is looking to improve their wellbeing and performance.

  • Rebecca Keatley CBeebies TV Presenter

    Working with Thomas has been life-changing. The simple and clear delivery of his breathing techniques has improved my life. I am still learning and discovering more about the breath, mind, and body relationship and I can’t wait to work with Thomas again soon.

  • Ben Jarvis, Creative Director

    I came to see Thomas as I was generally feeling tired and snoring frequently. The sessions have all been really interesting and it really is crazy the effects some simple changes in your breathing can make on your overall health. After a couple of sessions, I started to see my snoring pretty much disappear and after a week or so, I really noticed my sleep improve. Overall I feel rested have more energy and am more relaxed, especially at bedtime. I would definitely recommend Thomas and his breathing course to anyone who wants to improve their health, wellbeing, and performance.

    Absolutely life-changing sessions with The Breath Coach. The best money I’ve spent on a “health intervention” ever- not just for me but my whole family. Speak to Thomas, you won’t regret it!

  • Ben Bronstein Psychotherapist and Potter

    I had an amazing experience working with Thomas over a number of weeks. He was excellent at understanding exactly what I'd been dealing with in terms of the impact on my breathing after experiencing PTSD and panic disorder. I never thought I could do anything about it after years of trying all sorts of different therapies, techniques, exercises, and so on.

    Within only a few weeks my breathing had changed dramatically. Thomas was attentive with checking in and providing support between sessions, and understanding and flexible when I was struggling with various commitments and life stressors.

    I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Thomas to anyone wanting to improve their wellbeing.

    Thank you again, Thomas!

  • James Jones, TV Production Director

    I can’t recommend Thomas and his Breath Coaching enough. Thomas is so passionate about the benefits of the techniques he teaches.

    He’s such a chilled, calm person and a great listener. Because of this, his methods feel super accessible and their benefits become clear very quickly. I find it incredible that something that we do thousands of times a day subconsciously can be harnessed in this way and genuinely change your approach to life in all areas — work, rest & exercise.

    I now have an invisible toolbox to use whenever I'm in need and having a pretty stressful job in a position of responsibility, this has really been a game-changer for me.

  • Wayne Deacon, Asthma Sufferer

    I’m an asthma sufferer so I was keen to try something that would help. Thomas delivered a very structured course with guidance throughout.

    All the techniques provided can fit in with people’s busy schedules to achieve maximum results.

    After completing the course I now sleep better, breathe clearer have less fatigue when exercising and my asthma is well under control.

    Thank you, Thomas!

  • Judith Adams, Playwright and Dramatist

    I was three years into dealing with Long Covid and its legacy of Pernicious Anaemia and Low Thyroid when I contacted Thomas. As I'm 71, it's been a long and tough ongoing journey.

    Thomas was delightful and energetic from the first - taking the trouble to contact fellow Breathwork Long Covid sufferers in order to learn how I was likely to be feeling, and what my symptom and limits might be.

    It felt like nothing was too much trouble, and his enthusiasm and encouragement has been a real life-changer. That something so simple yet profound as breath awareness and one's own efforts can soothe insomnia, anxiety and physical discomfort is so empowering.

    I cannot thank him enough, and hope to continue on the journey in the light of his guidance.
