See What Happens

Release What You’ve Been Holding

You have handled the pressure all week. Your sleep, your shoulders and your patience have paid for it.

Thinking it through does not take the pressure out of your body. A guided breath can. We talk first, then you lie down and breathe to music: a connected breath, in and out through the nose, with no pause between. It activates your body’s rest and restore system and bypasses the thinking mind, so held stress can release. We finish with coaching that turns what came up into one next step. I’m Mike McGregor, with 23 years in HR and leadership.

Your Body Is Still at Work

  • Pattern #1

    I Can’t Switch Off

    The meeting ends at six and keeps running in your head until midnight.

  • Pattern #2

    I React, Then Regret It

    In the meeting that matters, your chest tightens and the wrong words come out first.

  • Pattern #3

    The Calm Never Lasts

    Apps, retreats and meditation settle you, and Monday undoes it.

  • Pattern #4

    Fine on Paper, Not Inside

    Everything is getting done, yet something feels off and you have no word for it.

  • Pattern #5

    I’ve Talked It Through

    You know the story by heart, and your body has not caught up.

  • Pattern #6

    Holding More Than I Show

    You stay composed for everyone, and what sits underneath has nowhere to go.

Start Wherever You Are

For Leaders

Your team gets your judgement, not your stress

The breath works on your body, and the coaching works on the decision in front of you. You finish with one thing to do this week.

  • No experience needed
  • Coaching before and after the breath
  • Nobody you lead sees you let go

For Founders

A clear head for the calls only you can make

After the breath, coaching turns what came up into your next decision. You carry the business. For 90 minutes, nobody needs anything from you.

  • Book again only when you need it
  • Shaped around what you have already tried
  • Online, wherever work takes you

For Professionals

Get out of your head, at your own pace

Your work pays you to think, and the thinking follows you home. The breath takes you below it, and I stay with you the whole way.

  • You know every step before you start
  • Slow down or stop any time
  • You and me, no group watching

How a Session Runs

  1. We Talk First

  2. You Breathe, I Guide

  3. You Leave with a Next Step

What You Get

  • Feature #1

    A Conversation First

    Your aim and what you have already tried shape the session, so the breath works on what matters to you.

  • Feature #2

    Your Pace

    You can slow down or stop whenever you choose by returning to normal breathing, in the room or on Zoom, so letting go never means losing control.

  • Feature #3

    Words for What Came Up

    We put it into plain words before you leave, so you do not walk out carrying something you cannot name.

  • Feature #4

    One Next Step

    The coaching ends on one practical step for your week, because that is the part that lasts.

Lighter and Clearer

I was blown away by how deep the session went. Mike created a space that felt completely safe to let go. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to myself. It opened a door I didn’t know needed unlocking.

Jess Bridge, Australia

What a huge impact our sessions have had! Breathwork has really helped me shift things, and coaching has helped make things tangible. I see results in my life already.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is breathwork safe for me?

It suits most adults in good health, and you set the pace throughout. Breathwork is not suitable for everyone. Please get medical clearance first if you are pregnant or have a detached retina or glaucoma, uncontrolled high blood pressure, heart disease or other cardiovascular disease, severe asthma, a history of seizures or epilepsy, severe diabetes, an acute injury or recent surgery, diagnosed psychosis or schizophrenia, or any condition that may be worsened by intense breathing or emotional release. Tell me about any relevant condition before we begin. Unsure? Ask me first.

What happens in a 1:1 session?

It runs for 90 minutes. For the first 30 we talk about what is happening for you now, and I introduce the breath. Then you lie down for 45 minutes of guided breathing to music. You take 5 minutes to let it settle, and we finish with 10 minutes of coaching on what came up and your next step. What to Expect walks through each part.

What does the breathing actually do?

You breathe in and out through the nose with no pause between, a conscious connected breath. It releases tension and helps restore balance in your body and nervous system. It bypasses the thinking mind, so held emotion can move. You may feel physical sensations, emotion rising or releasing, spacious stillness or deep insight.

What if it gets too much?

You can slow down or stop whenever you choose by returning to normal breathing, in the room or on Zoom. You’ll never be pushed. Everything unfolds at your pace, and I stay present and attuned throughout. Before you leave, we put what came up into words.

I have done breathwork before. What is different here?

If you know conscious connected breathing, this will feel familiar. This is transformational breathwork, and the method I trained in is Rebirthing Breathwork: a breath in and out through the nose with no pause between, so held emotion can release. What is different is the coaching around it. I am a Breathwork Facilitator and Executive Coach with 23 years in HR and leadership, so we start with what is happening in your life and work, and finish with what to do about it. I came to breathwork as a qualified commercial pilot and a former police officer, and I stayed because it works.

How many sessions do I need?

You’ll feel the difference after one. What makes it last is a rhythm, not a program. Book a 1:1 session whenever the pressure is back, the same as seeing a physio. In between, the Sunday group keeps you steady, online or in Hawthorn. If a session opens more than breath can hold, that is what coaching with me is for.

Online or in person, and what does it cost?

Either way, a 1:1 session is 90 minutes, with the same steps. Online is $250 AUD on Zoom, just you and me, from your home anywhere in the world. In person is $300 AUD in Hawthorn, Melbourne. You pay when you book, and you can reschedule with at least 24 hours’ notice. On Sundays, the group is $20 AUD online or $30 AUD at Kozen Yoga.

Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”
