Meet Mat,

The driving force behind Breathwork Lab.

Mat’s expertise spans an impressive range of fields—he’s a high-performance breath coach, breathwork facilitator, personal trainer, CrossFit coach, holistic health practitioner, and naturopathic masseur. His journey began with Kung Fu, where he first experienced the transformative power of controlled breath and meditation. This sparked a lifelong passion for empowering others through strength, resilience, and wellbeing.

Over the years, Mat has owned a personal training business, run a Kung Fu school, and practiced massage therapy. He’s coached clients from all walks of life—from athletes to everyday people—helping them achieve their best selves through functional movement and breathwork.

Mat’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. While training for ultra runs, he realised that even his deep fitness background wasn’t enough; he needed to unlock his breath's full potential to improve endurance and oxygen efficiency. During his time on shift-work, he struggled with insomnia and stress, finding it hard to reset. His discovery of breathwork became a game-changer.

The most personal turning point came when he lost both his mother and sister to cancer. Mat turned to breathwork for healing, choosing a path of emotional release over substances. This transformation led him to advanced training at Oxygen Advantage and the Institute of Integrative Nutrition. Today, Mat’s mission is clear: he wants to help others harness the power of breath to perform, heal, build resilience, and find balance.

Whether you're looking to sleep better, manage stress, or unlock peak performance, Mat’s guidance makes it achievable—breath by breath
