Hi, I'm Alex—a Certified Breath Coach, Breathing Behavior Specialist, Human Performance Consultant, and founder of Breathe On Purpose and Breath Lab of Benicia. I help individuals, athletes, and organizations improve health, performance, and resilience through science-backed breath coaching, functional breathing assessment, nervous system regulation, and respiratory health education.
My journey began in 2021 when I made a life-changing commitment to improve my own health by eliminating alcohol and taking ownership of my well-being. Through daily breath training, movement, and mindset practices, I experienced firsthand how breathing influences stress, energy, sleep, recovery, emotional regulation, and peak performance.
Driven to understand the science behind these changes, I pursued advanced education in breathing behavior, respiratory psychophysiology, functional breath retraining, and performance breathing. Today, I combine evidence-informed breath coaching with metabolic testing, VO₂ Max testing, breathing behavior analysis, and transformational breathwork to create personalized programs that help clients optimize both physical and mental performance.
Whether I'm working with corporate teams, healthcare professionals, athletes, or individuals seeking better sleep, reduced anxiety, improved endurance, or greater resilience, my approach always begins with understanding how they breathe. By improving breathing mechanics, chemistry, and awareness, lasting improvements in health, recovery, focus, and quality of life become possible.
Based in Benicia and serving the greater San Francisco Bay Area, my mission is to make breathing science practical, accessible, and transformational. Every breath is an opportunity to improve your health, unlock your
potential, and perform at your best.
With breath and purpose,
Alex
Alex is a phenomenal breath coach. My intention in taking his breathwork class was to assess it as a resource for clients (I’m a psychotherapist), but I gained so much more from the experience than I expected. The breathwork required serious effort for me as a first-timer, but the work paid off with profound catharsis. I can see how transformational breath practices would be beneficial for someone holding a lot of emotion and not knowing how or where to process it. Alex created a safe space to do just that. I highly recommend both Alex as a guide and breathwork in general.
All I can say is WOW! Major life changes for me and my family have led me to search for something deeper within myself. No amount of talk therapy could compare to the powerful experience I had with my breath coach during our first session. The breathwork techniques guided me to reach within and start healing in a way I didn't know existed. It was an indescribable experience, allowing me to release the negative and open up for the positive. The impact on my mind, body, and soul is incredible, and even a minor sinus issue was cleared up. I cannot wait for the next session; I am hooked on these transformational breath practices. Special thanks to Emma for grounding me!
Alex came highly recommended by a current client, and I can see why! I had never heard of breathwork classes before and was nervous to attend my first session, but Alex, a skilled breath coach, put me at ease. He is an incredibly patient and calming instructor. The whole experience was relaxing, and I left the session feeling as though a lifetime of stress had been lifted off my shoulders. I felt motivated with direction, thanks to the transformational breath practices we explored. I'm looking forward to another session with Alex when I am next in town.
Alex, a skilled breath coach, compassionately guides you through transformational breath practices, gently reminding you to have the courage and strength to release the old, making space for the new to emerge. During the month I participated in the class, I let go of old patterns that had kept me stuck, and significant doors opened in the area where I feel a deep calling. I highly recommend this breathwork to anyone looking to transform their life and discover deeper meaning.
Alex’s breathwork sessions have been transformative experiences for me. As a skilled breath coach, he guides us through transformational breath practices that leave me feeling rejuvenated. After each session, I KNOW deeply that I’ve just done something important for myself. It’s an incredibly healing journey. Thank you, Alex, for sharing your wisdom on the power of breath. It’s a true privilege to attend your classes, and I look forward to doing the work. Thank you, thank you!
Alex is such a great instructor; I’ve had profound experiences during both the private session and the group session. As a breath coach, he has introduced me to amazing transformational breath practices that I never knew I had access to. This incredible tool has enabled me to engage in internal work on myself, helping me tap into my unlimited potential for self-healing, one breath at a time.
This experience has been, well, breathtaking. Through my work with a breath coach, I am discovering that breathwork can be a powerful means for connecting us with both our inner selves and the outer realms of our existence. These transformational breath practices are so simple, yet they are profoundly transformative in our lives.
I’ve never experienced something so therapeutic. I’ve tried talk therapy and acupuncture, but nothing compares to breathwork. Working with a breath coach has helped me explore transformational breath practices, and between the crying and release of negative emotions, this is exactly what I needed to get back to feeling like myself.
Alex’s breathwork sessions are truly transformative. As a skilled breath coach, his calming, transporting, and energizing voice guides you through various transformational breath practices so you can just relax, let go, and oxygenate! Alex creates a grounded and safe space for healing. I will be back soon!
What can I say about this fantastic experience with my breath coach that would possibly do it justice? Alex and his team are such a supportive, positive, and powerful group. This was my first breathwork workshop focused on transformational breath practices, and I only wish I had found this group sooner. I will be back, without question.
I’m new to breathwork classes, but Breath on Purpose has quickly become a weekly ritual for me. My wife has also joined in these transformational breath practices, and it’s been fantastic. I even brought my childhood friend to one session with our breath coach, and he loved it as well. I would highly recommend this class to anyone and everyone.
It was a great experience! I loved the environment and music, which creates a blissful space for an inward journey. The best part was the powerful feelings you can experience through breathwork, guided by a breath coach, and the healing that follows each session, thanks to transformational breath practices.
