Santa Teresa · Costa Rica

You take 20,000 breaths a day.
Most are working against you.

The quality of those breaths quietly shapes how you sleep, think, recover and handle stress. I'm Mathias, a certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Coach. I help people improve the way they breathe so their body works better.

The common denominator

You probably don't think about your breath.
Until it starts affecting everything else.

  • Maybe you sleep eight hours but still wake up tired.
  • Maybe your shoulders never seem to relax.
  • Maybe you catch yourself holding your breath while answering emails.
  • Maybe your thoughts race at night even though your day is over.
  • Maybe you train hard but don't recover as quickly as you should.

Most people treat these as separate problems. Often, they're connected by something they rarely think about. The way they breathe.

How it got this way

Breathing is both automatic and voluntary.
That doesn't mean it's working in your favour.

Every day, something is training the way you breathe. If it isn't you, it's your environment. Stress. Long hours sitting. Poor posture. Screens. Mouth breathing. Old injuries. Even the way you sleep.

Your body adapts to whatever you repeat. Over time, that becomes your normal. The good news is that your breath is one of the few systems in your body you can consciously improve.

The question isn't whether your breathing has been trained. It's what has been training it.

What changes

You're already paying for bad breathing. Just not in money.

You pay in bad nights, tired mornings and a mind that won't slow down. Most people treat each one separately. Coffee for the energy. Supplements for the sleep. Nothing for the pattern underneath them: breathing that keeps your body on alert 20,000 times a day. That pattern can be retrained. When it changes, this is what changes with it.

Sleep and Stress

One bad night bleeds into the whole next day. When your breathing calms down, sleep gets deeper and the constant background stress starts to lift.

Emotional Resilience

When your breath lives high in your chest, your body treats everything like a threat. Retrain it and hard moments stop taking over.

Performance

If you get winded before your muscles are tired, your breathing is the limit. Fix it and you recover faster, last longer and stay calm under pressure.

Don't believe it. Measure it.

How well do you actually breathe?

The BOLT test is a simple, two-minute read on how your body handles oxygen and CO₂. It tracks with your stress, your sleep, and your capacity under pressure, and most people score lower than they expect. Take it, get your score, and a clear next step.

About Mathias

I didn't discover breathwork because it was trendy. I found it because my body eventually stopped cooperating with the life I was asking it to live.

From the outside, everything looked fine. Inside, I was constantly switched on. I know what it feels like to wake up tired, struggle to slow down and think that's simply what adulthood feels like.

Today I coach founders, athletes, professionals and everyday people across Costa Rica and internationally, helping them build breathing habits that support the lives they're trying to live.

  • ✓ Certified Trauma-Informed Breathwork Coach
  • ✓ Sessions delivered across Costa Rica, Portugal, Bali and Denmark
  • ✓ Weekly coach at multiple leading studios and wellness spaces in Santa Teresa
  • ✓ Specialised in breathing mechanics, nervous system health and performance
