How did we get here ...

Darryn grew up by Lake Macquarie, NSW, windsurfing, surf lifesaving, sailing, state level High School athletics, playing footy and basketball and plenty of other amazing things.

He worked in corporate training, outdoor education, and gained a qualification in fitness all while training and practicing various healing modalities like Bowen therapy, reiki, and energy balancing. Darryn then began his own body and energy balancing business.

After marrying, and working and travelling Australia for a few years, and starting their family, Darryn’s life took a turn after the passing of his father, with immense grief and anxiety creeping into everyday life, and it was at this point Darryn moved away from his alternate therapies.

Darryn spent time working in heavy industry and logistics before in 2012, he and his family made the move up the Hunter Valley to raise their three children and work in Muswellbrook as a plant mechanic.

In time, with Darryn’s daily struggles with anxiety worsening, he realised he needed help, and he soon stumbled across and began using Breathwork.

His incessant and debilitating panic attacks stopped OVERNIGHT!

Darryn has since learnt, practiced and trained in Breathwork. He had a realisation that he needed to share this and help others to achieve the abundant relief, release, and reconnection he has experienced.

In 2026, Darryn came full circle. With immense enthusiasm to help others set themselves free and perform at their best …

… Breath. Freedom and Performance was born!

Testimonials

What others are saying about their Breathwork Experience with

Darryn at Breath. Freedom and Performance

I walked into my first session with Darryn not really knowing what to expect. When someone says “breathwork,” you think, Oh, easy, it’s just breathing. But I quickly realised it was so much more than that. Darryn takes you on an unexpected and incredibly powerful journey within yourself.
I highly recommend Breakthrough Breathwork. It genuinely blew my mind. The experience gave me a sense of reassurance that, no matter what I was facing in my life, things were going to be okay.
For my second session with Darryn, I did Journey Through the Nervous System, and it was another incredibly powerful experience. It allowed me to work through emotions I had bottled up for a long time, release some of what I had been carrying, and find clarity around things that had been weighing heavily on me.
Throughout both sessions, Darryn was professional, knowledgeable, supportive and made me feel completely at ease throughout the process.
I’ve walked away feeling lighter, calmer and more at peace with so many things in my life. I feel like I’ve gained a deeper understanding of myself and, most importantly, a sense of clarity and empowerment moving forward.
I’m incredibly grateful for the experience and am looking forward to continuing this journey with many more sessions with Darryn.

I recently attended a breathwork session with Darryn. I felt welcomed, safe, and supported throughout the entire process. The guidance was calm and reassuring, making it easy to relax and trust the journey.
By the end of the session, I felt lighter, calmer, and more connected to myself. I left feeling refreshed with a real sense of peace and clarity.
I highly recommend this breathwork session. Thank you for creating such a nurturing and healing space.

I have had a few breathwork sessions with Darryn now and I couldn’t recommend him more. He is deeply knowledgeable, professional, and explains everything perfectly. He is incredibly supportive, caring, and compassionate.
I have had sessions for relaxation and general maintenance, coming away feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.
Other sessions were for breakthroughs to release bigger worries. In the days following, I realised that while I can remember the issue clearly, it just doesn’t bother me anymore - it has no hold on me. As Darryn explains, the breathwork completes the stress cycle. It is amazing what comes into your mind. This seems unexplainable, except to say there is a real sense of healing.
Things are shifting, bubbling up, gently, and being dealt with.
It feels good, crazy, wild, but good.
Thank you Darryn.
