Practical Physiology
A physiology-based approach to feeling and functioning better.
One-to-one sessions using breathing and attention to influence how you body functions - and therefore how you feel and perform day to day.
Sessions are flexible, practical, personalised, and delivered online.
Who Might Benefit
People who:- are experiencing ongoing stress
- work in high pressure roles
- who have tried usual approaches for stress related problems and want something practical and physiology based
- want active skills to influence how they feel
- prefer something that is based on how the body actually works
- want tools they can use both day to day and in stressful moments
People often notice:
- improved emotional stability
- greater ability to calm the stress response, even in the moment
- better sleep
- improved energy levels
- clearer thinking (less “brain fog”)
- more efficient, comfortable breathing in daily life and exercise
My Background
I’m a GP with 17 years of NHS experience, an interest in mental health, and I am also certified as a HeartMath® coach (autonomic regulation & coherence), Oxygen Advantage® Advanced Instructor (functional breathing & CO₂ physiology) and The Breathing Class® intsructor (breathing mechanics). I personalise each session based on each individuals unique circumstances and needs.My approach is based on years of clinical experience and a deep understanding of stress, physiology, and how we can practically influence it to influence how we feel.
Examples of the work
Sessions are guided and adapted to you. This might include:
Improving breathing mechanics
Helping breathing become more efficient, and directly affecting the nervous system
Improving tolerance to carbon dioxide
Directly improving oxygen delivery, blood flow and nervous system function
Working with heart rate variability patterns
Learning to recognise and cultivate optimal states of functioning with intention using the hearts rhythms and the heart - brain connection
