Breathwork coaching in Cincinnati
I'm a certified breathwork coach based in Cincinnati, passionate about helping people discover the transformative power of their own breathing.
I've seen firsthand how intentional breathing practices can reduce anxiety, improve focus, enhance athletic performance, manage diseases like asthma, regulate core vitals like blood pressure, and bring profound clarity to everyday life.
As a former fire fighter, I know first-hand what sleepless nights, work-related stress, and poor recovery can do to your health.
I'm certified in functional breathing as an Advanced Instructor through the Oxygen Advantage program — a science-based approach to breathing that focuses on how you breathe in everyday life, not just during a session.
Whether you're exploring breathwork for the first time or deepening an existing practice, I'm here to guide you with warmth, expertise, and a genuine love for this work.

Small shifts in how you breathe every day create real, measurable changes in your body and mind.
Your whole system settles. The pressure you carry — literally — starts to ease.
Slow breathing at around six breaths per minute trains the baroreflex, the loop that regulates your blood pressure, and quiets the body's stress signaling. Slow-breathing studies show meaningful drops in blood pressure — no medication, just rhythm.
The tightness in your chest loosens. The spiral slows. You feel like yourself again.
Breathwork is one of the most studied tools for stress, with effects on anxiety and mood that hold up alongside therapy and meditation. Slowing and smoothing your breath sends a direct safety signal to the brain's emotional centers.
Your heart rate settles. Your shoulders drop. A calm you didn't manufacture washes through you.
Slow, diaphragmatic nasal breathing — especially with a longer exhale — activates the vagus nerve and shifts you out of fight-or-flight. Over time this raises heart rate variability, the body's single best marker of resilience.
You go further before you feel it. Your breath stops being the thing that holds you back.
Training your breathing muscles and your tolerance to CO2 delays the fatigue signal that forces you to slow down. Nasal breathing alone improves running economy and cuts wasted ventilation — more output for less effort.
Stairs feel easier. Your energy stays level. Your body simply works more efficiently.
Functional breathing improves how efficiently your heart and lungs move oxygen, and trains the reflexes that keep circulation stable moment to moment — building a more resilient cardiovascular system and steadier energy through the day.
The ache loosens its grip. You stop bracing against your own body.
Slow, diaphragmatic breathing activates pressure sensors that naturally dampen pain signaling — and corrects the chronic over-breathing that quietly amplifies it. People stuck in long-term pain often turn a corner once their breathing is retrained.
You fall asleep faster. You stop waking at 3am. Mornings feel different.
How you breathe during the day shapes how you breathe at night. Nasal breathing and correct tongue posture reduce snoring, minimize disordered breathing, and help you wake up actually rested.
You recover faster. The low-grade, run-down feeling lifts.
The same vagus-nerve activation that calms you also switches on the body's natural anti-inflammatory pathway. People with higher vagal tone consistently show lower markers of inflammation in the blood.
The fog lifts. Your thoughts sharpen. You feel present in a way you forgot was possible.
CO2 isn't just waste gas — it's a vasodilator that opens the vessels feeding your brain. Functional breathing restores healthy CO2 levels, increasing cerebral circulation and even helping the brain flush waste during deep, slow breathing.
Stress lands softer. You bounce back instead of breaking down.
Gentle breathing challenges — light air hunger, short breath holds — are a form of good stress. Like exercise, they train your cells to handle pressure better, building lasting resilience rather than just a moment of calm.
Thoughts on breathwork, wellness, and living fully.
Welcome to Greendale Breathwork! I’m thrilled to launch this space where I’ll be sharing insights about breathwork, wellness practices, and the science of breathing.
Most of us take around 20,000 breaths a day without giving a single one much thought. But what if paying attention to just a few of those breaths could change how you feel, think, and perform?
That’s the promise of breathwork — and it’s backed by a growing body of research.
