ABOUT MARLON

I'm here to make a real difference to your life.
 

The ocean taught me that when you master your breath, you master your response to the world. Let’s unlock your sustainable peak performance together.

Master High Performance Under Pressure

Hi, I’m Marlon,

For over 15 years, I navigated the high-stakes world of corporate management. I know what it feels like to juggle intense stakeholder demands, hit relentless KPIs, and battle the subtle creeping stress that impacts your performance and recovery.
But my relationship with high pressure didn’t start in an office.

As a grown adult, I was frightened by the ocean. That changed when a stressful, anxiety-inducing interaction with an Eagleray forced me to confront my fears. I discovered freediving and breathwork. The impact was profound: it catalysed a totally new way for me to self-regulate, conquer anxiety, and achieve calm in high-stakes environments.

Today, I translate those life-changing methodologies into practical, science-backed breathwork protocols specifically designed for executives, cyclists, freedivers, and snowsports enthusiasts.

You Don’t Do Breathwork, You Live a Breathwork Life

I don’t just teach the breath; I live and breathe it across the most extreme environments on earth. My unique authority is built on real-world application. Over the last two decades, I have tested the limits of human endurance and recovery in the world’s most demanding environments:

  • The Corporate Edge: 15 years of experience in project and stakeholder management gives me a deep, empathetic understanding of the corporate executive’s reality.
  • Elite Aquatic Mastery: As one of only a handful of Freediver Instructor Trainers in Australia, I develop new freediving instructors. I hold 12 years of experience specialising in breathwork for performance and recovery.
  • Award-Winning Eco-Tourism & Seamanship: As a multi award-winning Victorian Dolphin and Seal tour operator, qualified commercial skipper, and charter tourism operator of 10 years, I translate the grit of leading thousands of guests in the cool, temperate waters of Bass Strait and the Southern Ocean, and crewing Australian Navy vessels in live-firing training exercises, into elite field-leader training.
  • Cycling & Snowsports: 8 years as a professional European cycling guide, former Directeur Sportif of Prime Estate Elite Women’s Cycling Team, Victorian State MTBXC Champion, member of ANZA Mavericks Road Cycling Team (Singapore), and qualification as a Telemark Ski Instructor mean I inherently understand the physical and mental demands of endurance and mountain sports.

Whether you are navigating a peloton in the French Pyrenees, dropping into a steep alpine bowl, or holding a breath underwater, mastering your breathing is the ultimate competitive edge.

My approach to breathwork bridges the gap between intense physical exertion and deep, restorative calm. I create structured, safe, and results-driven training environments. I know how to manage risk, lead high-performing teams, and optimise individual stamina under pressure.
