Founder of Performance Through Health, Martin is a leading voice in the Breathing world shedding light on the Science of what's really happening when we breathe!
Watch the Replay Now
Dive into the scientific and psychological understanding of breath, sleep, and nervous system regulation for a healthier, happier, and more connected life.
As Breathwork continues to become more widely known and accepted as a means for improving our health and well-being, it also becomes apparent that we know very little...
And that's where breathing science comes in.
It's no longer enough to brush off some of the deeper experiences had during breathwork sessions by saying "It's just your body releasing trauma" or to push those attending sessions to hyper-ventilate even more with the encouraging mantra of "get high on your own supply"
If Breathwork, and breathing facilitators or coaches are to be trusted and respected we must understand what's actually happening in our bodies, our brains and our chemistry.
They must understand how breathing and the practices they share interact and impact with the rest of the body's systems.
During this live session, we'll explore some of the myths and misconceptions around breathing...
Something Martin is only too happy to do, as he strives to deliver the highest quality of training and coaching to individuals around the world.
Some of what we learnt during this LIVE, immersive experience...

How interconnected our breath, body and mind are

What happens during a conscious connected breathing session

The roles sleep plays in our experience of life
More about Martin
After over a decade of working as a Respiratory and Sleep Scientist, Martin noticed a common pattern among his patients.
Many of them were not sick but misunderstood the connection between the mind and body due to prolonged stress.
Frustrated with the limitations of working in the medical field, Martin decided to quit his clinical career to build Performance Through Health, an online business aimed at helping people understand the link between sleep, stress, and breathing.
His vision is to create a world where people live healthy, happy, connected, and meaningful lives.
In 2023, Martin was inspired by the demand to establish the School of Breath Science, an online comprehensive training and certification program.
This program aims to deepen the understanding of how we can apply the science of breathing to improve well-being and performance.

What others say about Martin & his work...
"I’ve come away with so many actionable tools and strategies that have helped improve my sleep quality and stress levels."
“All that know me have commented on how much I have improved this year, and I owe it entirely to Martin and his breathing training program."
“I feel as if Martin put me in the best position to be competitive in my weight class at Western Australia’s strongman competition and I cannot recommend him enough”

- The locus coeruleus and the part it plays in regulating our sleep, rest and recovery cycles
- The rise in suggestibility and influence during Conscious Connected Breathing session... pros and cons.
- Understanding the interconnectedness of the breath, body and mind when working with individuals to support better health
