About the course

Anxiety isn’t just in your mind — it’s in your body. Anxiety Decoded is a simple science-based course designed to give you the real understanding you’ve been searching for. If you’ve tried meditation, mindfulness, or even breath work without lasting relief, you’re not alone. The missing piece is understanding the physiology behind anxiety — how your nervous system, your breathing, and your blood chemistry work together to create the symptoms you feel. Through short, clear lessons, you’ll learn: • Why anxiety feels so overwhelming (and why it’s not your fault) • How your breath directly influences your stress response • Practical tools to calm your body, not just your mind This course isn’t about positive thinking or quick hacks. It’s about empowering you with knowledge — real science explained simply — so you can finally feel confident navigating anxiety when it strikes. By the end of this journey, you’ll have a clear map of how your body creates anxiety — and, more importantly, how you can guide it back to calm. Understand your body. Reclaim your calm. The answers you’ve been searching for are already inside you — let’s unlock them.

I’m a Functional Breathing Instructor and Anxiety Specialist. After years of battling anxiety myself, I discovered that real relief comes from understanding the body’s systems — not just coping with symptoms. Now, I help others reclaim calm through science-based breathing education and practical, empowering tools.
