The word NOOMA itself is derived from the Greek word "pneuma" (πνεῦμα), which means "spirit" or "breath."
NOOMA embodies both the physical act of breathing and the metaphysical concept of the spirit or life force that sustains existence.

I started learning about the breath with one goal in mind: to create a better, anti-fragile system, in both mind and body, no matter the situation. Over the last several years, I have studied, practiced, and tested the entire spectrum of breathing methodologies in order to scale and adapt these methods to every person’s needs (instead of trying to fit every individual into a single methodology). It is my privilege to help you along your journey, no matter where you are today.
ABOUT ME
NOURISH
Nourish means intentionally sustaining the body and mind through conscious breathing. Breathwork provides oxygen, calms the nervous system, and fosters inner peace. It supports emotional and mental well-being, promoting relaxation, focus, and vitality. Nourishing oneself also includes cultivating positive thoughts and compassion, enhancing balance and renewal.
OPTIMIZE
Optimize means refining your breath and mental state for better well-being. Breathwork enhances breathing patterns, improves oxygen flow, reduces stress, and boosts energy. This involves tuning awareness to maximize breath benefits, fostering clarity, focus, and emotional resilience for peak performance in daily activities and meditation.
OVERCOME
Overcome means using conscious breathing and present-moment awareness to rise above challenges, stress, or emotional issues. Breathwork calms the nervous system, easing tension and anxiety, empowering you to tackle obstacles more easily. Mindfulness, paired with breathwork, helps you observe thoughts and emotions without judgment, overcoming negative patterns and fears. Together, they foster resilience, allowing you to face life’s difficulties with calm and inner strength.
MOVE
Move encompasses the flow of energy, emotions, and sensations through intentional breathing and awareness. Breathwork shifts stagnant energy, clears blockages, and fosters physical and emotional healing. It signifies the conscious transition between states—stress to relaxation, distraction to focus, and tension to calm. Embrace the ebb and flow of life, using breath to navigate each moment with grace.
ACTIVATE
Activate means to awaken specific physical, mental, or emotional states through intentional breathing and focused awareness. Breathwork can energize systems, boost alertness, enhance focus, or promote relaxation. It involves consciously engaging with your present experience, increasing awareness of thoughts, emotions, and sensations, allowing you to direct your energy and connect with your inner self and the present moment.
