Book me to speak about psychology, nervous system science and breathwork.

I help teams and leaders unlock resilience, reduce stress, and enhance focus through a unique fusion of nervous system science, psychology, and breathwork.

I have delivered talks at corporations such as Google, Nike, and The Prince’s Trust. I have also spoken at events like Balance Festival and We Create Space, and appeared on numerous podcast episodes.

  • James' session at Octopus has had a profound and lasting impact on me. I wasn't even aware there was a way to breathe correctly let alone the different ways that one can breathe so to alter their internal state. I now use the techniques James taught us daily to better centre and focus myself at work.

  • Every week, James helps me discover the incredible power of my breath. I am amazed about how only thirty minutes of conscious breathing positively impacts my entire day. With a mix of active and relaxed breathing, I always end up feeling more grounded, present and better able to focus at work. I could not think of a better way to reset halfway through the day.

  • I could not recommend James highly enough. Sessions with him are one of the most powerful tools that I have come across. I have found James sessions incredibly energising learning to just be present and create more awareness in the body and mind. With practice, daily tasks and my stream of thinking has become interspersed with more clarity and calm.
