The experience

The room walks in tired. It walks out reset.

I open by naming what everyone in the room is actually carrying, then I show them the one nerve running underneath it. No slides full of theory. We move from idea to felt experience fast, because a nervous system lesson only lands when you feel it happen.

By the end, hundreds of people are breathing as one, and then they take the live Breath Test and see their own number. That is the moment it stops being a talk and becomes something they own.

Keynote

The Nerve That Runs You

A deeper dive into the vagus nerve and why 80% of its signals travel up to the brain, not down. Science made visceral for a performance audience.

Workshop

Breath as a Performance Tool

A hands-on session where your audience leaves with signature protocols they can run before the next high-stakes moment. Ideal for leadership tracks.

What you get

More than a talk on the calendar

  • A pre-event call. We shape the talk around your audience, your theme, and the outcome you want them walking out with.
  • A custom keynote or workshop. Delivered live, built for your room, closing on the group Breath Test so the lesson lands in the body.
  • A takeaway they keep. A simple breath-led reset your audience can run the next morning, at their desk or before their next high-stakes moment.
  • Zero setup stress. The core work is breath-led and needs no special equipment. On-site anywhere, or delivered virtually for remote audiences.

Questions

Booking a breathwork keynote

What kind of events do you speak at?

Conferences, summits, leadership offsites, company all-hands, and mastermind retreats. Anywhere a room of high performers needs to feel something, not just hear it.

Where will you travel to speak?

Anywhere. I'm based in the Tampa Bay area in St. Petersburg, Florida, and I travel to stages nationwide. I also deliver virtual keynotes for online events and remote teams.

How long is a keynote?

A signature keynote runs 30 to 60 minutes, including the live Breath Test. Workshops run 60 to 120 minutes. I tailor the length to your agenda.

What is the live Breath Test?

A short, science-backed assessment the whole audience takes together at the end, so they leave with their own nervous system reading and a felt result, not just notes.

Do you customize the talk?

Always. Every talk is built around your audience, your theme, and the outcome you want them to walk out with.
