Corporate breathwork your people will actually use
Practical stress-capacity training, delivered on site across Melbourne or online to distributed teams anywhere. Techniques that take two minutes, measured with a number that moves.
"Burnout isn't caused by stress. It's caused by sustained operation beyond capacity, without recovery."
The cost sits in the places you already track. Sick leave. People present but not producing. Resignations from your strongest performers. And a replacement cost that dwarfs anything prevention would have cost you.
Recovery from genuine burnout takes one to three years. You're not managing a bad week. You're managing a multi-year absence risk in someone you can't easily replace.
The psychosocial duty is now live
Since 1 December 2025, Victorian employers have carried a positive duty to proactively identify, assess, control and review psychosocial hazards under the OHS psychological health regulations. Awareness sessions alone don't discharge that. Giving people trained, practical capacity to manage load is a control you can point to.
This is general information about the regulations, not legal advice. Check your specific obligations with your WHS adviser.
What the duty requires
Identify psychosocial hazards in work design, systems and management
Assess and control risk so far as is reasonably practicable
Consult employees and health and safety representatives
Document decisions, actions and reviews
Review controls on an ongoing cycle
Most workplace wellbeing initiatives fail on the same thing: nobody has time.
An hour of mindfulness at lunch gets a good turnout once, then attendance drops. The people who most need it are the ones who can least spare the hour.
Five minutes a day is a program people finish.
Before a difficult meeting
Before a presentation or hard conversation
Techniques your people can use mid-meeting without anyone noticing, which I teach directly
A 2023 Stanford study followed 108 adults doing five minutes of daily structured breathing for a month. It outperformed mindfulness meditation on mood improvement and reduction in physiological arousal.
A number that moves
Most workplace wellbeing reporting stops at a satisfaction survey. We measure the team's BOLT score — a simple breath-hold test reflecting breathing efficiency and CO₂ tolerance. Taken at the start, trained deliberately, and re-measured.
One coaching client moved from 16 seconds to 36 in four weeks. Individual results vary, but the point stands: this is trainable and you can watch it change. That gives you something to put in front of a board that isn't a feelings survey.

I lead every session myself
Whether that's a workshop on site or a live online format. Ongoing support is available if your team wants it.

Practices your people keep using after I've gone
I ran my own recruitment business for thirteen years and sold it. I know what a P&L looks like, what it costs to lose a senior person, and what it's like to be the one holding it together. I also burnt out. That's why this exists, and it's why I won't sell you a feel-good hour that changes nothing.
