Biography

Dr Guy William Fincham's journey with breathwork began as a personal healing tool for chronic fatigue syndrome, which inspired him to share his knowledge with the world. He trained as a Breath Teacher with the Breath Body Mind Foundation in New York and has since established collaborations with leading institutions including Oxford, UCSF, Imperial, Maastricht, UCLA, and the company Othership.

He founded the Brighton & Sussex Breathwork Lab and aims to expand it into a Breathwork Centre, inviting potential donors to support this vision. His research on breathwork has been featured in major media outlets such as the BBC, The Guardian, The Washington Post, The Economist, TIME, Forbes, and HubermanLab.

Dr Fincham has a growing interest in exploring the diverse applications of breathwork across human recovery and performance, spanning from health and wellness to sports. His primary goal is to investigate how breathwork can support mental, physical, and spiritual well-being.

He is open to opportunities for advisory and consulting work, coaching and training, and delivering keynote talks and public speaking engagements.
