By changing CO2 and nitric oxide, breathing can affect heart rate, vasodilation and vascular tone.

Welcome To The Breathing Effect
Fascinated by breathing.
Hello, I'm Terry Mellors. I discovered breathwork and the Wim Hof Method after a BBC programme and a cold shower. That one moment made such an impact on my health and inner world that I founded The Breathing Effect.
Fascination followed from there. Breathing techniques have been used for thousands of years, and the most respected modern methods are now supported by science: the Wim Hof Method, Buteyko and Patrick McKeown's Oxygen Advantage.
The work is simple in principle: by breathing properly, people can learn to influence pain, inflammation, stress, anxiety and performance.
A very long list of benefits
Breath affects the whole system.
Endocrine System
Better breathing can support lymphatic clearing, reduce inflammatory load and influence adrenal and cortisol response.
Autonomic System
Breath training helps balance sympathetic and parasympathetic activity, including vagal and relaxation responses.
When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.
How Can We Fix Our Breathing?
By knowing that you are able too.
We are reminded that we can live without food for weeks and water for days, but only minutes without oxygen. Every breath we take, and how we process it, has a profound impact on mind, health and happiness. But no one had told us this.
Learn the physiology and science in plain, practical language.
Reset erroneous breathing practices with guided exercises and one to one coaching.
Apply the work to everyday health, sport, confidence and recovery.
Transform personal exercise and sports goals
Maximise oxygen efficiency, reduce stress on the body and pursue breathtaking achievements with professional coaching and guidance.

Cherished reviews
What our clients say about the breathing effect.
Terry presented a fascinating and extremely informative talk on how to breathe. It was a truly wonderful evening and a real eye opener.
Loved every minute including those in the ice bath. Terry's guidance helped me conquer a long held fear.
His calming presence, knowledge and humour made for a great day. I cannot recommend Terry and the course highly enough.
Terry helped me uncover the root cause: I was breathing too fast and relying on shallow chest breaths.
