About
I spent close to two decades chasing wellness in all the "right" places — California retreats, Harley Street clinics, a very memorable stint in Peru. Turns out what I was looking for wasn't in any of those postcodes. It was in my breath. It had been there the entire time — I was just too busy boarding flights to notice. Before that, I was building and scaling a business the way most founders do: hustle first, sleep whenever, nervous system permanently stuck in "on." I got the exit. I did not get to enjoy it — because by then my body had started sending invoices of its own, in the form of chronic illness that took years to properly recover from. That's the part nobody puts on the highlight reel. So I retrained as a breathwork facilitator / performance, health & wellbeing coach, and built Beyond Discovery around the thing I wish someone had told me a decade earlier: dysregulation doesn't announce itself. It compounds quietly until your body forces the conversation. Now I work with two kinds of people — high performers and founders still in the "on" phase, and people already living the consequences of it, rebuilding from chronic illness or burnout. Same nervous system, different chapter. A 2023 meta-analysis of 12 randomised-controlled trials found breathwork produced a significant, clinically meaningful reduction in stress compared to control conditions, and slower, paced breathing is consistently linked to improved HRV and vagal tone in the sports-science literature on recovery and high-pressure performance. So no, it's not just vibes, but I'll admit the vibes are good too. If you're leading at a pace that isn't sustainable, or already paying the bill for years of ignoring your body, let's talk. I work in person from the Mornington Peninsula & Melbourne - Victoria Australia & Online Globally.
