What a few months it has been. I started writing this update back in late April and the words failed to manifest. Nothing seemed appropriate, and attempts re-open client work seemed premature. I never hit send and instead continued to use this time to process my own material and wait for the energy to give me that nudge needed to leave iso-land.

There is no need to rehash what has and is transpiring in our world right now, but I do want to extend my support and love to anyone who has lost their job or is under a cloud of job insecurity, feeling fearful of their physical and emotional health, isolated from family and loved ones and concerned about the future.

Transition Breath has re-opened, with personal breathwork sessions (both in-person and online), group breathwork, corporate breathing and well-being programs and Breathing Club. Please contact me if you wish to recommence or start your breathwork practice. Please note that special COVID-19 measures are in place, with a renewed cancellation policy, hygiene rules and social distancing.

In recognition of my ongoing development, investment and experience, the exchange for a two-hour personalised breathwork session is now $155, and $230 for a three-hour session. Further information about Transition Breath's fees and session times is available here.


Listen, watch and read:

  • Very few people come close to the intellect and deep understanding of consciousness as Deepak Chopra, and if you have the intellectual capacity to keep up with this conversation (they lost me at the existence of 200 trillion galaxies in the Universe) then I recommend listening to Russell Brand and Deepak's conversation about science and spirituality (extract available here), full version via Luminary.

  • My breathwork lineage originates in part from the work of psychedelic therapist and creator of Holotropic Breathwork, Stanislav Grof. He's now in his 90s, and in recognition of the generational change occurring in the field of consciousness research, the second wave of psychedelic research and the growth in breathwork, he has published an encyclopedia of inner journeys called The Way of the Psychonaut. The publication of these books is accompanied by a soon to be released documentary and an online course via the Shift Network. These resources are an invaluable contribution to the field of Transpersonal Psychotherapy, psychedelic therapy and breathwork (available here).

Breathe well, everyone.
