Richie, or “The Breath Guy”, is a leading figure and evangelist for Breathwork, the next revolution in health and wellness. He is a Breathwork coach, author and speaker and it is his mission to spread the life changing possibilities of Breathwork to the world.
Having worn many hats, from a corporate management consultant to digital entrepreneur, Breathwork came into Richie’s life almost by accident when his father was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). When researching ways to help his father, he came discovered the Wim Hof Method, a self healing technique involving breathing techniques and cold exposure. After experiencing the incredible effects of this method and seeing how it helped his father, he became obsessed with discovering what was possible just by breathing.
Richie spent years traveling across five continents learning from many of the modern day masters of Breathwork and continuously witnessed the transformative effects of when people became aware of their breathing and started to use it as a tool to create physical, mental and emotional benefits for themselves.
Richie has taught tens of thousands of people across the world in his workshops, retreats and online events. He works on employee wellbeing initiatives with government departments, companies such as Google DeepMind, Spotify, Amazon, Accenture, Deloitte and Unilever, and with brands such as Lululemon.
