i describe myself as a “Regenerative Coach” because my work grew from a personal journey of rebuilding confidence and capacity in my own body.
Now in my 60’s, i have lived through several neck and back injuries sustained as a teenager and adult. The breathing practices that evolved into TriBreath™ became an important part of how i approached recovery and my relationship with pain.
My experience is personal. i cannot say what another man or woman’s path would have been, or what results TriBreath™ may provide for them. What i can say is that these techniques gave me a practical way to work with my breath, attention, and movement when my body felt at its most limited.
During many months i was unable to move, lying on my back i used three breathing rhythms, lots of creative visualisation, and focused awareness to stay connected to my body. i found these practices grounding during a difficult period, and they shaped the approach i now share through TriBreath™.
From around age seven, i was fascinated by human anatomy. i studied every image i could find and became curious about how the body was built and how it moved.
As a teenager, wanting to stay mobile and independent, i learnt to repair and tune engines. i discovered that an engine’s performance depends on several systems working together: air intake, spark, timing, fuel, cooling, and exhaust.
After completing an electrical apprenticeship, i began noticing parallels between an internal-combustion engine and the body. Bodies also rely on interconnected systems: breathing, food and water, nervous-system function, temperature regulation, rest, and waste removal.
That comparison became a useful metaphor. i began experimenting—carefully—with how my breathing rhythm changed when i ran. i listened to the rhythm of my breath and treated the swing of my arms as part of the movement rhythm, much as pistons contribute to an engine’s timing.
This led to a powerful realisation: the way i breathe while walking or running can influence how coordinated, supported, and efficient movement feels. It also drew my attention to how effort and impact can be experienced across both sides of the body.
Then in 2001 at the age of 35, i broke my back while moving rock and soil by hand, bucket, and wheelbarrow on a property high up in the mountains of northern New South Wales.
Ouch… That hurt!
It was a painful, life-changing event. While recovering, and alongside the care and support i needed, i focused on the breathing rhythms and mental imagery of wellness i had explored years earlier. i used them to help manage my attention, remain engaged with my recovery, and gradually reconnect with movement.
Within two years, i was walking independently again. That experience deepened my belief in the value of breath awareness and intentional movement as supportive practices. It is the foundation of what i now call TriBreath™.
Using the TriBreath™ techniques, i invite you to explore what breath, awareness, and movement can mean for you.
With so many people experiencing the regenerative power that the conscious use of our breath offers, the yearning to share and support is strong.
The goal is to create TriBreath™ hubs around the world to help inform, empower & uplift people from all walks of life.
For it is from a point of understanding & knowing about the relationship between the self and the body that positive change can flourish.
The foundation of life is the breath and TriBreath™ is all about Breath, Mind, & Body connection.
TriBreath™ – Just You, Your Body & Your Breath!
TriBreath – it’s all about Breath, Mind, & Body Connection.
Most of us know oxygen is essential to life. Fewer realise that purposeful breathing practices can support how we move, feel, and function each day. Download the TriBreath™ Move Easier, Breathe Deeper eBook or become a Member for full access.
