Anthony shares his profound journey from a career in architecture to becoming a facilitator of breathwork healing, illustrating how personal experiences often guide us towards our true purpose.
His approach is deeply rooted in the belief that the breath serves as a powerful bridge between the body, mind, and soul, offering a direct pathway to truth, safety, and self-discovery. Anthony recounts his early life in Italy, where he spent 25 years restoring old buildings. This experience, he explains, parallels his current work in restoring the 'architecture of the soul', emphasizing the importance of healing and repairing the separateness that often exists within us.
