Corperate Breathwork in Christchurch
What is Breathwork?
John offers corporate breathwork in Christchurch, it's a modern breathing system here to support your team to connect to themselves, reduce stress and rewrite subconscious programs so they can perform optimally.
This isn’t just ‘wellness.’ It’s performance optimisation—helping your team work smarter by first teaching them how to breathe deeper.
Before: Scattered, reactive, mentally ‘switched on’ 24/7.
After: Calmly focused, emotionally agile, strategically energised
How can breathwork support your business?
Studies show that just 20 minutes of conscious connected breathing:
Reduces cortisol (stress hormone) by up to 50% (NIH)
Boosts focus & creativity by increasing theta brain waves (Frontiers in Human Neuroscience)
Resets the vagus nerve, improving emotional resilience (Harvard Medical Review)
Unlike traditional wellness perks, breathwork delivers measurable ROI—calmer teams, sharper decision-making, and fewer sick days.
What do corporate sessions look like?
Assessment & Intention:
We’ll start by identifying your team’s pain points—whether it’s innovation blocks, communication breakdowns, or chronic stress—and design the session to target them.
The Breathwork Journey:
Using restorative techniques (to calm nervous systems) and activating patterns (to unlock creativity), we’ll restore the body-mind’s natural flow of energy. This isn’t just ‘relaxation’—it’s biological rebooting.
The Breakthrough:
Participants safely release limiting beliefs (e.g., ‘I’m overwhelmed’ → ‘I prioritize with clarity’) and rewire neural pathways—often reporting instant shifts in focus, empathy, and problem-solving.
Integration:
A guided meditation + visualisation seals the insights, followed by reflection (verbal or written) to anchor the transformation into workplace behaviors.

"I've never felt so safe and held before as I did with John during his breathwork sessions. He truly represents the healed masculine that is so precious and healing. I was able to process some deep wounds thanks to his gentle and supportive presence. I wholeheartedly recommend attending his sessions, it was life-changing for me!"
-Marlin, Coach
"John, I’ve never allowed myself to be that vulnerable in front of a stranger before. Yes, I had close people around me that I have shared parts of my story with and feel very safe to journey with, but the way you curated such a safe environment through you being you allowed me to open and move things, things that I have purposely not looked at because they were too painful. I appreciate your gift to the world John and am grateful to have had the experience. I look forward to breathing with you again."
Zarah, Practitioner & Herbalist
"I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to show up for themselves and dive deep. This was my first breathwork session and It was an incredible experience. John carefully guided me through the process and was a calming presence throughout. I felt some big shifts and I’m going to incorporate a daily practice john has given me.”
– Tom, Managing Director
"John held a beautiful intimate breathwork experience for a group of our friends yesterday and wow.... he curated such a safe and loving space that allowed some big things to move through me. I felt extremely held and cared for during the whole practice. I absolutely recommend John in the highest regard and if you have the chance to attend one of his events, jump at the opportunity.
You will not be disappointed!"

Water bottle
Comfortable clothes
Is there science around breathwork?
Breathwork is more than just a breathing technique—it’s a scientifically supported practice that transforms the mind, body, and spirit. Here’s how it works:
Balances the Nervous System: Breathwork activates both the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, helping you feel calm yet energised.
Releases Stored Emotions: By accessing the limbic system, breathwork helps release emotional blockages and trauma.
Boosts Brain Function: Increased oxygenation and neuroplasticity support mental clarity and emotional resilience.
Enhances Well-Being: From reducing stress to improving heart health, the benefits of breathwork are backed by science.
How can I get the most from the session?
Afterwards, its important to create some time for yourself to gently come back. Ensure you drink plenty of good quality water and if possible spend some time in nature.
Do online sessions work?
Online breathwork sessions are a powerful tool for transformation, offering all the benefits of in-person sessions without geographical restrictions. Modern science shows that we live in a quantum world—one that transcends the limits of space and time. This means we can connect energetically, no matter where we are in the world. Experience the same transformative energy as in-person sessions, thanks to the quantum nature of our interconnected world.
You can join from the comfort of your own home via Zoom, creating a safe and personalised space for your practice. Whether you’re in Christchurch or halfway across the globe, the healing power of breathwork is just a click away.
Will I cry in a breathwork journey?
It’s common to express emotions during a breathwork session, though it’s not a rule. What I love most about breathwork is that you’ll only go as deeply as your nervous system is ready for. Unlike plant medicines, which can thrust you into the deep end, breathwork allows for a gradual and sustainable exploration of your inner world.
With the guidance of an experienced facilitator, you’ll navigate your emotions in a safe and supportive way through a process known as titration. This means you’ll move at your own pace, ensuring the experience feels empowering and manageable every step of the way.
Titration allows your nervous system to process emotions and trauma in small, manageable doses, reducing the risk of overwhelm and helping you build resilience over time.
What qualifications and experience do you hold?
Over the course of 9 months and nearly 20 personal breathwork journeys, this intensive program took me deep into my own internal world, allowing me to process and heal from my own traumas and challenges.
Since completing my training, I’ve facilitated hundreds of breathwork sessions—both in-person and online—with individuals and groups as large as 200 people. My work has taken me across New Zealand, Australia, the UK, Europe, and Africa, where I’ve had the privilege of supporting people from all walks of life.
Over the past 10 years, I’ve been deeply committed to my own personal development, investing hundreds of thousands of dollars into tools, trainings, and experiences that have helped me navigate my way to becoming the best version of myself. This ongoing journey allows me to bring a wealth of knowledge, empathy, and insight to my work as a facilitator.
My approach is rooted in compassion, safety, and a deep understanding of the nervous system, allowing me to guide clients through even the most challenging emotions with care and precision. I specialise in helping people release stored trauma, overcome limiting beliefs, and step into their fullest potential.
