“Two of the worst aspects of cancer and treatment for cancer are stress and pain, and arranging for Tim’s breathing workshops is yet another inspirational initiative from Brighter Outlook/Albion in the Community to help with alleviating the cumulative effects of this illness. Addressing something as primal as breathing, learning to do it correctly, and paying attention to such a basic necessity is helpful in so many ways; for people feeling out of control of their physical body it is a way of reasserting some of that control, and reconnecting with something positive about their physicality. There is a biodynamic aspect to not breathing properly, so being shown how to, and then told to under instruction can help address some very deep-seated issues, possibly an unexpected result for some people.

Then there is the interesting science behind Tim’s exercises, and the evidence that they work, which we taking part were actually experiencing for ourselves. Several times in the past week I have employed the newly learned techniques to pull myself back from the stress reaction to acute pain, by taking control of my breathing and not exacerbating the feeling of panic.

Additionally, if there was a kinder, more good-humoured, better listener than Tim to take this workshop it would be hard to find them. He seemed equally interested in what we had to say, although he must have heard much of it before, and there was no sense that we were being judged for not doing ‘well’ or for having to ask questions if we had not understood first time round. He was also well acquainted with the history behind what he was talking about, though he wears his learning lightly and we never felt we were getting a lecture thrown in.

Again, I am incredibly grateful for having had this opportunity and know it has made an important change to my life. I do hope that it will be made available for other patients in the future, or at least incorporated into the already brilliant programmes being run by Brighter Outlook/Albion in the Community. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

“Last year I had pneumonia following Covid -this turned into asthma. When I heard about Tim and the Buteyko breathing method, it seemed like a chance to improve my lung health and do something about the asthma.I have only recently completed the course but I’m very happy with the results in a short space of time with asthma symptoms almost disappearing and I have more energy.This is a long-term project but I am planning to contact my GP in a few months time to discuss coming off my asthma inhaler.An added bonus for me was the switch from mouth breathing to nasal breathing has given me other benefits.I have been breathing mostly through my mouth for decades due to a blocked nostril - this was fixed 20 years ago but I had no advice to breathe only through my nose. I didn’t really think anything of it, not many people do!At night I would have a dry mouth and wake several times a night to drink water and wake up feeling groggy.Now I no longer have a dry mouth, night time visits to the loo have decreased and I wake up with more energy.Nasal breathing really can be a life changer - thanks Tim!”

“Dear Tim,

I would like to thank you so much for your help and assistance especially during the 1st lockdown in the spring of 2020.

Your dedication to helping your colleagues through these dark times, gave us a light at the end of the tunnel. The collective walk by everyone to ‘Reach the North Pole’ kept all the team connected and motivated to see how many steps / miles everyone was managing. whether it was half a mile or 10 miles, it was just wonderful to be part of a team again. 

You taught us all the basics of Tai Chi. I will forever remember attempting to ‘grasp the sparrows tail’ and ‘the cow gazing back at the moon’. As well as the rest of the family laughing at me during the first attempts of the ‘4 walls’ with my feet all over the place. However with your patience and help I did quite well, even if I do say so myself :)

What I will really take from your teaching will be the guided meditation, which I found relaxing in both the body and the mind. Thank you.

Through this you have also kindly helped my wife Julie with her major anxiety issues that has caused her to give up her work, we will both always be eternally grateful.

Good luck in all your future ventures, you deserve it.

Best wishes and fondest regards”

“It was really a pleasure and a serendipitous moment to have Tim conduct meditation and Xi gong classes for our Australian retail team during the lockdowns in 2020 & 2021. Our teams were pandemic fatigued and zoom training exhausted, so we decided Tim’s expertise to relax and calm our teams was just the ticket. We have over 60 retail staff who attended Tim’s sessions over several months from all corners of Australia. Tim effortlessly guided them through physical relaxation exercises which allowed them to get out of their comfort zone in a safe and comfortable environment at their own pace. He then concluded the session with a peaceful and calming meditation session using powerful visualisation techniques. Retail staff commented they felt ‘super relaxed’, ‘Less anxious’ and ‘it gave me a feeling of peace and serenity’. I highly recommend Tim to guide your team to bring balance to mind, body and spirit.”

“When I met Tim in his last role with LVMH, he was a Regional Local Sales Trainer with the highest level of expertise in his product category.  You are sure to always find an answer/solution with Tim and his active presence in the training room was highly appreciated by his team.  Working with Tim, professionally, was both a delight and a privilege.  Beyond business, Tim’s compassion and fun nature made him a great friend, with a secret talent and passion for helping people with stress management and energy healing.  

I attended Tim’s workshops whenever they were available during my business trips out to London and was amazed by how his work benefited my physical and mental state. During my pregnancy, which happened to be during the peak of Covid19, I was so grateful that Tim offered his workshops online to support a community of professionals looking for alternative ways to improve their performance and manage their stress and anxiety, whilst working from home.  I can speak for myself and for many others, that the weekly sessions were not only effective but for some of us, a life saver! His methodologies are well mastered, humble, and extremely reflective.

I look forward to continue working with Tim and take part in his programs as he launches them through his own brand: i-qi-coaching.”

“I was lucky to meet Tim on my first day at work. His Induction programme was the most engaging integration into an organization I have ever received during my Retail Career. His ability to share knowledge and inspire people gave me an intense sense of belonging.

Tim’s Coaching Programme increased my self-confidence and helped me to communicate more effectively with my team. It also increased my self-awareness and gave me courage and support to move in new directions.

Tim was a gift from my organization; he showed me a path to reach my highest potential. He has challenged me in a wonderful way that went straight into my heart. All with a gentleness and an incredible capacity to build trust.”

“If you have any issues with breathing, or just want to improve the quality, or your fitness, I would contact Tim, you will not regret it!”

“We can’t recommend Tim highly enough. A true expert in breath work field.”

“Tim gave me a real insight into how important the correct breathing technique is. I was sceptical, we all breathe don’t we?? But it was fascinating to understand how and why your breathing affects your whole physicality and mental state. I have been converted!”

“Tim is such a lovely friendly person and immediately put me completely at ease.”

“Because of Tim, I now feel more in control, have tools to help myself and I sleep much better.”
