Founder and Lead Facilitator
Diego.
The Short Version
I have lived in Koh Samui for 15 years. This island is home.
I came to breathwork through freediving, which I have trained in for over a decade. When you spend enough time underwater on a single breath, you learn that the body knows things the mind keeps arguing with. Freediving taught me to trust that.
Then COVID hit. The island emptied overnight. Tourism stopped. The people who stayed were struggling. Not just financially. In their bodies. In their heads. In the weight of not knowing when any of it would end.
So I started offering breathwork and ice baths for free. Just to help. I was the first person to bring this work to Koh Samui.
What happened next
What started as a way to help the local community turned into something much bigger. People kept coming back. They brought friends. Then tourists started returning and they found their way to the sessions too. Word spread the way it does on an island. Not through marketing. Through people telling other people that something had shifted in them.
Over the last five years I have facilitated countless sessions for people from all over the world. Some come in stressed, burned out, carrying things they cannot name. Some are curious. Some are deeply sceptical. Those are my favourite clients. The sceptical ones have the biggest transformations because they are not performing anything. They are just breathing. And their body does the rest.
Along the way I have dedicated myself to learning everything I can about what it actually means to hold space for another person. Trauma informed facilitation. Authentic relating. Circling. Internal Family Systems. Not because I collect credentials, but because this work touches people in places where you need to know what you are doing.
All my practice is based on science, observation, and grounded experience. Not theory. Not what I read in a book. What I have seen work, hundreds of times, in the room.
How I Work
No scripts
Every session responds to who is in the room. I do not read from a playbook. I read the energy, the breathing patterns, the tension in the room, and I guide from there.
No spiritual performance
I am not going to burn sage or tell you about your chakras. This is nervous system work. You breathe, your body responds. Everything else is just decoration.
Safety first
First Aid and emergency oxygen trained. I know the contraindications. I know when to push and when to back off. This work can be intense, and that is exactly why the person holding space needs to know what they are doing.
Sceptics welcome
You do not need to believe in anything for this to work. The people who walk in most unsure are usually the ones who walk out most changed. Your nervous system does not care what you believe. It just responds.
