Who is Rich?
By day, I work as a Business Analyst. Outside of that, I support people through breathwork to help them connect with and move through what’s been building beneath the surface.
I tend to work best with people who feel ready to explore what’s really going on inside them; whether that’s stress, anxiety, or emotions that haven’t had space to feel.
After working together, people often describe a sense of calm and clarity they didn’t realise they’d been missing.
How I got here
I’ve spent much of my life navigating mental health challenges and, later, the impact of a neurodivergent diagnosis. For a long time, I relied on coping strategies that helped me get by, but didn’t really help me feel like myself.
Emotions were something I observed in other people, or accessed indirectly through stories, rather than something I felt I had a clear connection with in myself.
I first came across Conscious Connected Breathwork in 2024, but I put it off for a while. It felt unfamiliar and a bit “out there”. But eventually, when I did try it; that decision changed everything for me.
With the right support, I began to work through what had been held in my system for a long time. I became aware of how much anger, hurt, and self-protection I had been carrying, often without realising it.
As that began to shift, I noticed changes not only in how I felt internally, but in how I showed up in my relationships and daily life. That experience is what led me to want to bring this work to others.
What I believe about this work
I believe a lot of healing work stays at the level of making sense of things, talking them through, and trying to rationalise how we feel.
That has value, but in my experience it only goes so far. Especially navigating a later neurodivergent diagnosis, I found that understanding something didn’t mean it had shifted.
The real change came from working with the mind, body and nervous system, and allowing space for my emotions to actually be felt processed rather than just explained.
That’s what shapes how I work now, creating a space where you can safely explore what’s there, at a pace that supports you, without pushing you into overwhelm.
I don't come to this in a "guru" sense. I'm a messy, complicated human being who makes mistakes and doesn't always have it all together. I embrace and accept that about me, the work I bring to others is about them being able to accept that in themselves as well.
How I work
I work in a way that’s both direct and supportive. There’s structure to what we do, but it’s never about pushing you beyond what feels manageable; it will be to a level you can manage. Everything will be an invitation, not a demand.
I’m not here to fix anything. My role is to hold a space where you can safely explore what is already there and begin to move through it, with guidance along the way.
Sessions can be adapted to you, to your needs, your comfort, and what you’re ready to work with in that moment.
What you can expect
I will show up calm, curious, and honest. I bring both compassion and clarity; I won’t avoid difficult truths, but I will always meet them with care.
I don’t use pressure or sales tactics, and I won’t try to convince you that this work is right for you. If it is, I trust you’ll feel it. If I don’t think it’s the right fit, I will say that too.
I’m not here as a “guru” or someone who has everything figured out. I’m simply someone who has experienced the impact of this work personally and wants to share it in a grounded, human way.
What I aim to create is a steady, safe space where curiosity is welcomed, nothing is forced, and you can meet yourself exactly as you are.
The Work Behind the Work
Alongside my work, I’ve spent several years acting as an Employee Representative for the Neurodivergent community, helping to improve culture, education, and awareness around different neurodivergent experiences.
While I’ve developed a strong theoretical understanding of neurodiversity and psychology through study, I place just as much value on lived experience and personal stories. I don’t see people as defined by a diagnosis, but by the full context of how they move through the world.
Outside of the work
Outside of this, I’m a dad, a partner, a friend, and generally just someone who likes life in its simple, ordinary form.
I stay grounded through reading, learning, the gym, and walking ; things that help me slow down and stay connected to myself.
I’ve always had animals around me, particularly cats. In fact, I’ve only gone a few weeks of my life without one since I was two.
