What Our Students Say

I got to attend James incredible 3-day NLP & Breathwork course at Mandalay Yoga Dublin! We learned powerful techniques like Box Breathing, Wim Hof Method, Bellow Breathing, along with NLP and bodywork. James’ breathwork class was truly transformational, with many experiencing deep emotional and physical releases. The chance to facilitate a session was amazing and I look forward to adding it to my coaching. I highly recommend this course—it’s a game-changer!

Sara Moore

James is an incredible teacher! Really gets you hands on immediately in the class, so you feel prepared to teach it in the real world. There’s a lot of material but he really distills the most important parts.

I left really understanding that breathwork is accessible and diverse, that there are so many ways to integrate it into my life. I feel empowered to be a breathwork facilitator and can’t wait to use it my yoga classes as well!

Stephany Zoo

I had the most profound and enlightening experience at the NLP & Breathwork facilitator training. James is by far the best teacher I have had and I have trained in many fields over the years. He makes learning fun & his passion speaks volumes. I would recommend this training or any of James trainings to anyone. It was pure joy. His fun uplifting personality puts everyone at ease and I was really able to get the most out of my experience. I felt completely held and safe. Thank you so much James it was an absolute pleasure getting to know you and participating in your training :)
