  • ​Do you breathe through your mouth at times during the day?

  • Do you feel your chest rise and fall when you breathe?

  • Do you sometimes feel like you cannot get a deep enough breath?

  • Do you suffer with a stuffy nose/congestion?

  • Do you wake up with a dry mouth in the morning?

  • Do you struggle with poor sleep, insomnia, snoring or sleep apnea?

  • Do you often have cold hands and/or feet?

  • Do you notice you sigh or yawn frequently?​

  • Do you suffer with lower back pain, shoulder/neck/chest tightness?

  • Are you dealing with chronic stress or anxiety on a daily basis?

  • Do you get out of breath quickly during swimming, running, exercise?

  • Do you suffer with asthma or exercise-induced asthma?

  • Do you suffer with menopausal symptoms?

​

These are all linked to how you breathe on a daily basis

Most of us breathe to survive rather than breathe to thrive.
Make better breathing your new superpower for your health and your sport.

What Clients Say

This course was the right amount of time learning how breath affects our performance in sport, and every aspect of life, and time spent in the pool practicing. I came away with a huge amount of knowledge that I am now using daily. Highly recommend!

- Christine, Breathing Workshop

I so enjoyed learning from you on Tuesday. Thanks for the videos and practice summary. It has really buoyed me up all week. These videos are so useful and your arrows and commentary really help to explain what I need to do and why."

​- Belinda, 1-2-1 Swim Lesson

The Garden Spa Evening for midlife women was a real tonic. Breathing techniques, sauna and cold water therapy, and supportive guidance throughout. It was just the right length of time, the price was affordable, and the facilities excellent.

- Claire, Garden Spa Evening

Working with Marianne has been transformational. I am breathing more easily using my diaphragm, I can exercise more efficiently, and am standing differently, and feel calmer and focused. I handle challenging situations far better than before.
