Since 2021, I’ve found freedom and clarity in solitude through trail running and long-distance races.
While run clubs continue to grow in popularity, I choose to run as a mindful practice, using each step as a way to reconnect with myself and the natural world.
I’ve competed in over 15 single and multi-day ultramarathons. From the Blue Mountains in Sydney, to the Atacama Desert in Chile, to the Tian Shan Mountains in Kyrgyzstan.

"Great for our employees' mental health and wellbeing"
“Rory came recommended by a member of our team who could not speak more highly of his Breathwork session. Given the glowing review, I locked in a session for the Amazon Australia business during our Wellness Week and was definitely not disappointed. The response from all staff who participated was extremely positive, with many requesting further sessions to be scheduled. The Breathwork session was great for our employees' mental health and wellbeing.”

"Up-skill your team to improve wellbeing"
“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 of the session. I’d highly recommend Rory and his services if you’re looking to up-skill your team to improve wellbeing.”

"A master at what he does and a gift to the world"
“Rory’s approachable manner, expert knowledge and precision guidance made for an impactful breathwork session for a group of sceptics. His simple approach makes it memorable and useful beyond the session; he had a material effect collectively as a group and on individuals in a profound way. We were all on cloud nine, like we’d been transported somewhere else. This set us all up for a 2x day planning workshop that would not have been as successful without Rory’s breathwork. Rory is a master at what he does and a gift to the world.”
