Verde Breath Retraining
A Return To The Breath
The breath is the entry point for many of your organs. Breath retraining is a science-backed approach to restoring healthy, functional breathing patterns. Many people today are unintentionally over-breathing, breathing too fast, too shallow, or through the mouth, which keeps the nervous system in a constant state of stress. Breath retraining helps you shift out of survival mode and back into calm, energy, and balance..
Through breath retraining, we gently shift breathing mechanics and nervous system signalling, supporting a move out of survival mode and into greater calm, energy efficiency, and balance.
Activities: full breath assessment, breath retraining exercises, methods to increase your CO2, nervous system education, techniques to support sleep, stress, energy, and focus, such as nasal breathing, lifestyle adjustments to maintain functional breathing, such as diet.
Is this for you? This program is for anyone who feels anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly “on edge, struggles with shallow breathing, constantly mouth-breathes, suffers from asthma, overthinking, or fatigue, has sleep issues, or is low on energy, works in high-pressure environments, wants simple, daily tools to support wellbeing, or feels disconnected from their bodies.
If your breath feels tight, rushed, or easily destabilised, this work is for you.
Framework
Each program begins with a full assessment of your breathing habits (rate, rhythm, depth, nose/mouth, use), how you behave under stress and your lifestyle. This helps form your tailored, guided retraining program which occurs over a 4-6 week period designed to help you;
• Breathe slower, deeper, and more efficiently
• Activate your parasympathetic nervous system
• Improve oxygen utilisation
• Reduce anxiety, overwhelm, and fatigue

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from breathwork?
Breathwork is an intentional practice. Breath retraining is your everyday breathing.
Breathwork creates an experience. Breath retraining rewires your baseline.
Think of breath retraining as the foundation, the breath you use 24 hours a day. It’s subtle, daily, nervous-system nourishment.
Why is breath retraining important?
Because the breath controls the nervous system. When breathing is dysfunctional, you may experience:
• Anxiety or overwhelm
• Fatigue or brain fog
• Sleep issues
• Low energy
• Emotional reactivity
• Poor stress tolerance
Retraining the breath helps regulate your nervous system, improve oxygen use, improve cellular oxygenation, create emotional stability, support sleep, improve ETCO2 tolerances, and enhance overall well-being.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people feel noticeable changes within 3–6 sessions, with daily micro-practices.
Long-term transformation usually occurs over 8–12 weeks, depending on your habits and consistency. Your personalised plan is created after your first consultation.
Is breath retraining safe?
Yes, it is low-intensity, non-invasive, and safe for nearly everyone.
We go at your pace and only work within your comfort zone.
Will I get exercises to use at home?
Of course. You’ll receive simple practices you can integrate into your morning routine, commute, workday, and evening wind-down. Breath retraining is most effective when woven into your daily rhythm, and these practices can be used forever.
What results can I expect?
Common shifts include:
• More calm and emotional stability
• Improved focus and energy
• Better sleep and recovery
• Reduced shortness of breath
• Less anxiety and overwhelm
• Higher stress tolerance
• A stronger connection to the body
• Feeling more grounded and present
Do I need to be experienced in breathwork?
Not at all. Breath retraining is perfect for beginners it’s slow, accessible, and designed for the modern nervous system. It can be used by anyone who wants to improve, sportspeople, business folk, nurses, and even the fittest of the fit.
Are sessions online or in person?
Sessions are available in person or online. Both are equally effective.
