I guide people through practical, embodied self-realisation — combining breathwork, parts work (IFS), counselling psychology, transpersonal and Buddhist psychology, and, where appropriate, psychedelic integration. Together, we work at the intersection of mind, body, and spirit to restore balance, emotional regulation, and clarity of purpose.

Yes. Conscious connected breathing creates space for repressed emotion and somatic tension to surface safely. When guided properly, it allows the body to complete unfinished stress responses — helping trauma integrate rather than remain stuck.

Integration is about translating insight into real-world change. We’ll unpack your experience, explore psychological patterns it revealed, and apply grounding tools such as breathwork, journalling, and IFS. The aim is stability, not more intensity.

Yes — but we’ll discuss your medication and existing therapy first. Integration coaching doesn’t replace medical care; it complements it. We work gently with your emotional landscape to ensure safety, regulation, and respect for your current treatment plan.

Therapy often stays cognitive; coaching with integration brings body, psyche, and spirit together. We address your psychology and physiology through breathwork, somatic awareness, and grounded action — translating insight into embodied change.

Absolutely. Breathwork increases oxygen flow, rebalances your nervous system, and helps restore natural energy cycles. Clients often report improved sleep, clearer focus, and renewed emotional resilience within a few sessions.

You’ll feel some effects immediately — calmer, clearer, lighter. Deeper rewiring usually unfolds over 6–12 weeks as new neural pathways form through consistent breathwork, reflection, and lifestyle integration.

Yes. When guided correctly, online sessions create the same depth of emotional release and nervous-system regulation. I hold the same energetic and psychological safety protocols whether you’re in Bali, Lisbon, or London.

If you’re curious, self-aware, and willing to meet your emotions without numbing or distraction, you’re ready. Readiness is less about perfection and more about willingness to feel and grow — I help you build the safety to do that.

Integration means slowing down, journalling what surfaced, nourishing your body, and continuing gentle breathwork. I offer follow-up integration coaching to help you make meaning of the experience and sustain the shift in everyday life.

Yes. I facilitate couples’ integration work and group Emotional Release Breathwork immersions. Both formats focus on communication, trust, and shared nervous-system regulation — powerful tools for relational healing.

My work draws from counselling psychology, Internal Family Systems, and trauma science. We work with the brain’s plasticity and the body’s innate healing capacity to create measurable change in emotional regulation and perception.

You can book directly through my website at martinotoole.coach. You’ll find options for 1:1 coaching, group breathwork, and retreats in Bali, Portugal, and Peru. A free consultation helps us choose the right path for you.

Breathwork helps regulate the nervous system by lowering cortisol, increasing oxygen flow, and releasing trapped emotional energy. My Emotional Release Breathwork sessions teach you to use your breath to interrupt stress responses and return to calm without medication or avoidance.

Anyone with cardiovascular issues, severe respiratory conditions, epilepsy, pregnancy, or psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia should consult a doctor first. During intake, I tailor each session for safety — including gentler breathing rhythms for trauma survivors or those on medication.

Meditation quiets the mind; breathwork opens the body. Breathwork is active and somatic — it helps you access emotions the mind alone can’t reach. Both complement each other: meditation anchors awareness, breathwork accelerates release.

FRAY is my proprietary framework for emotional regulation and awareness: Feel, Recognise, Anchor, Your Move. It’s a mindfulness-based, body-centred process for meeting discomfort, staying present, and consciously choosing how to respond. Over time, it rewires your brain toward calm and clarity.

IFS helps identify and communicate with your inner “parts” — the protector, critic, pleaser, or wounded child. By building compassionate dialogue between them, you reduce inner conflict and cultivate leadership from the Self: the calm, curious awareness within you.

My work blends counselling psychology, trauma science, and contemplative traditions. We draw on neuroplasticity research, somatic awareness, and spiritual principles like non-attachment and presence. It’s where evidence-based practice meets lived experience.

It’s my integrative framework outlining a nonlinear process to achieving sustainable happiness: Self-realisation, Unlearning, Self-love, Forgiveness, and Connection, so you can live with authenticity, agency, and peace. I first introduced the idea in my book, How To Die Happy.

It refers to therapeutic states beyond everyday awareness — reached through breathwork, mindfulness, or psychedelics. These states access deeper layers of the psyche, where stored emotions and conditioning reside, allowing profound insight and integration when approached safely.

Preparation includes clarifying intention, assessing mental and physical readiness, reviewing medications, and stabilising your nervous system through breathwork and mindfulness. This groundwork ensures your experience is safe, grounded, and meaningful.

We unpack your journey using dialogue, body awareness, and tools like journalling, FRAY, and IFS. The focus is on translating insight into sustainable behavioural and emotional change, rather than chasing further peak experiences.

Insight without integration fades. The ceremony opens the door; integration teaches you how to live what you’ve seen. True healing happens afterwards — in the choices, habits, and relationships you consciously reshape.

Yes, when handled carefully. We’ll discuss your prescriptions, history, and emotional state before proceeding. I don’t encourage combining medication with plant medicine; instead, we work on integration or preparation until it’s safe to explore further under proper supervision.

Immersions combine diaphragmatic warm-ups, two hours of conscious connected breathing, live and recorded music, bodywork, and integration circles. Participants often experience emotional catharsis, clarity, and deep connection — all within a trauma-informed, supportive space.

Retreats blend yoga, breathwork, counselling, meditation, somatic practices, and psychedelic preparation or integration where appropriate. Each retreat is bespoke — typically including accommodation, meals, integration sessions, and post-retreat follow-ups.

Slow down, rest, hydrate, and journal. Avoid alcohol, stimulants, or intense socialising for a few days. Gentle movement, breathwork, and nature time support the nervous system. I also offer follow-up integration coaching to help consolidate the experience.

You’ll often feel immediate relief and clarity after a session. Deeper rewiring unfolds over several weeks as you practise the tools consistently. Most clients notice lasting change after 6–12 sessions or a structured container.

Absolutely. Breathwork helps restore energy cycles, release stress hormones, and improve sleep and mood. Combined with lifestyle shifts and inner-parts work, it supports long-term emotional resilience and vitality.

Private coaching containers (12 sessions) start around €3,000. Breathwork immersions and retreats vary depending on location and format. You can view current offerings and book a consultation via martinotoole.coach.

If you’re curious, open, and willing to meet your emotions rather than run from them, you’re ready. The work doesn’t require perfection — just honesty, humility, and a desire to evolve.

Yes. I facilitate couples’ therapy and group Emotional Release Breathwork sessions. Both focus on communication, trust, and co-regulation — powerful tools for building healthier relational dynamics.
