You shouldn't have to struggle with stress and anxiety every day. When you do do this course you will start to master your nervous system and take back control using science-backed exercises to shift out of chronic stress.
The exercises use Oxygen Advantage evidence-based techniques and research by Stanford Medicine. Use for two short sessions a day or any time you feel anxious. No experience needed. No equipment needed. Just you and five to ten minutes, twice a day, for reduced anxiety and a nervous system that starts to build resilience.
Why this course
Burnout recovery advice tends to come in two flavours: vague lifestyle suggestions that don't survive contact with a real working week, or intensive programmes that require significant time and money before you know if they work.
This course is different. It's designed specifically for professionals who are busy, sceptical, and have tried things that didn't stick. The sessions are short. Even 60 seconds of these exercises when you're under pressure can reduce your anxiety. The approach is grounded in physiology, not wellness culture or trends.
Is this for you?
Exhausted? Anxious? Panic attacks? Not sleeping well? If any of that sounds familiar, then this is the course for you to start recovering.
5–10 minutes, twice a day or 60 seconds if you have an anxious moment. Designed to fit into a working professional's morning, evening, and work routine.
The course gives you the introductory approach. If you want to go deeper and fully understand how to make your breathing work for you, one-on-one sessions are there when you're ready.
Many people feel a difference in as little as 60 seconds. With regular use, these exercises will change your physiology to make you less anxious and more resilient.
Common questions
Do I need any experience with breathwork or meditation?
No. The course assumes no prior knowledge. If you can breathe, you are good to go. For those interested in the science behind the exercises, there is a short video explaining why they are effective.
What's the BOLT score?
BOLT stands for Body Oxygen Level Test. It's a simple, non-invasive measurement that takes about a minute and gives you a concrete indication of your breathing efficiency and CO₂ tolerance which is also a way of measuring how your body handles stress.
Is this suitable if I have a medical condition?
Please check with your GP before starting if you have a respiratory or cardiovascular condition. If you have high levels of anxiety, you should approach any breath-holding exercise with caution. For most people, the techniques in this course are gentle and appropriate but I'm not a medical professional, and this isn't medical advice. If you are unsure, email me at simon@theburntoutlawyer.co.nz and let's work out how to get you started.
What if I want more personalised support?
One-on-one coaching is available at any time. Many clients use the course as their starting point and then move into individual sessions once they've experienced the approach and know it works for them. Private sessions enable a tailored approach and focus on your breathing fundamentals, not just how to manage anxiety.
