The #1 Habit I Teach Every Private Client

plus your weekly mini reset

This is always the first thing I teach my one-to-one clients when they come to me for private coaching for anxiety, stress or burnout.

Why?
Because it’s the foundation for everything else.

You can do all the fancy breathwork sessions in the world…
But if you’re breathing through your mouth for the other 23 hours and 40 minutes of the day, those 20 minutes of breathwork won’t have much lasting impact.

Learning to breathe through your nose is one of the simplest, most powerful changes you can make for your nervous system.

Here’s why it matters:

When you breathe through your mouth, your breath tends to stay high in your chest — fast, shallow, and sending signals to your brain that you’re in a state of alert.
Your brain responds by ramping up stress hormones… which makes your breathing even faster and shallower.
And just like that, you’re stuck in a loop.

But nasal breathing changes everything:

• It naturally slows your breath.

• It sends the breath deeper into the belly.

• It calms your heart rate and signals safety to your brain.

Try This Quick Test:

1. Place one hand on your chest, one hand on your belly.

2. Take a breath through your mouth. Notice which hand rises more.

3. Now close your mouth and breathe through your nose. Notice the difference.

See how the breath moves lower with nasal breathing?
That’s why we want to be using our nose, not our mouth to breathe. Nose breathing gives slower, deeper breaths

Your Practice for This Week:

Notice your breath throughout the day:

• Are you mouth breathing without realising?

• Can you gently close your mouth and breathe through your nose instead?

This simple awareness practice can be truly transformational over time. I’ve had clients feel a huge impact in their anxiety levels in just one week by doing this.

This Week’s Mini Reset:

Progressive Muscle Relaxation + Physiological Sigh

If your body already feels tight and tense, I’ve recorded a super-short reset for you.
This practice works brilliantly alongside nasal breathing — and you can do it anywhere (even at your desk or while doing the washing up).
