Is This Course for You?
This course uses simple and safe exercises that are suitable for anyone dealing with stress. However, from my experience, the following people will benefit most:
Experiencing* Stress, Anxiety, and Depression
Peer-reviewed science has found us that breathing is uniquely suited for improving these aspects of mental health.
*If you have been clinically diagnosed with a mental condition such as generalized anxiety disorder or depression, the science is less clear how effective these practices will be at reducing symptoms. However, at the very least, they are safe and may help you feel better.
Chronic Illness
If you deal with a chronic illness, this course will help you deal with the emotional ups & downs that come with your condition and the associated mental distress.
Recent Life-Changing Event
If you've had a new diagnosis, lost a job, or had any other recent significant life event, the tools you learn in this course will be invaluable for navigating your new life (this is what inspired me personally to discover & develop the protocol).
High-Performers (at work or as an athlete)
For people who are always looking to push their own personal limits, the unique stress-reducing practices you learn here will be invaluable for resetting every day and optimizing your energy and recovery.
IMPORTANT:
This course is not a replacement for physician treatment or intended to cure or heal any physical or mental conditions. It is a complementary mind-body intervention to improve your quality of life.

A Final Word from Nick
This course is about helping you reduce stress and anxiety while cultivating more positive emotions. However, it’s ultimately about something much bigger: giving you a greater sense of self-agency. Giving you the power to control your life, mindset, and emotional reactions.
And to me, this is the greatest gift of all. It goes far beyond just breathing; it becomes a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
You might start sleeping better, exercising more, reading again, laughing with your spouse, or putting your phone away while eating dinner. Who knows; there’s no telling what these practices might snowball into for you.
But one thing is sure: these positive changes won’t be random. They will happen in a way that is right for you, your unique situation, and your remarkable life aspirations.
All this is to say that breathing is more than just breathing. You start with your breath. But you end with your best self.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
In good breath,
Nick
From diagnosis at 11 to present-day, becoming a breathing nerd, exactly who I was meant to be : )
