Feedback
I recently had the pleasure of doing a session with Rory Warnock and found him an experienced, gentle and knowledgeable practitioner. The session was very well-run and the effects on the body and mind were profound. If one has never experienced a proper Breathwork session, one will not truly understand how transformative it can be. I highly recommend Rory and breathwork. LifeSpan Medicine Australia

Rory is a skilled coach of Breathwork - the physiologically informed set of evidence-based strategies to enable us to recover our flexibility, resilience, and well being, using the very capacities we all have; all one needs is some commitment to 'suck and see', experiencing the immediate results that will encourage one to persist and further develop the habit of regular use of these methods - further benefits and improvements will accrue. Breathwork has a role for all our common problems' - sleep, stress, anxiety, focus, improved cognitive and physical performances, and regulating our emotions. I have sampled his coaching, seen his online offerings, and very highly recommend him and his methods; we can all benefit from learning and applying these methods.

Rory is exceptionally calm, knowledgeable and inspiring and his delivery is very powerful. The experience was extremely well received by 50+ colleagues with feedback ranging from 'energising' and 'relaxing', to 'truly life changing.' Personally, I was left vibrating with energy and very curious to learn more about the power of breathwork.

BUPA invited Rory along to our team quarterly to kick off the day with a Breathwork session. The team were completely new to this type of practice but we're impressed at how much they got out the session. I'd highly recommend Rory and his services if you're looking to up-skill your team to improve wellbeing.

Rory facilitated a breath workshop for Jands Senior Leadership offsite as we identified the opportunity to support our team with Breathwork techniques to improve team performance. Rory has a friendly and approachable demeanour. In his session he recommended and explained breathing techniques for improving mental health, focus & attention, and sleep. His session was very engaging and informative. The feedback from the group was excellent with many of the Team reported implementing techniques with immediate results. Looking forward to working with Rory again in the future.
