LIFE BETWEEN
Treeline & Tide
Where the wild Australian bush meets the raw Southern Ocean tide. Combining physical mastery and breathwork with functional European heritage design.
Immerse into intentional slow living where sophistication is not about luxury, but about deep connection, quiet competence, and living in rhythm with the natural world.

BREATHWORK
Online Breathwork Course
This Oxygen Advantage online breathing course is a great place to start.
I believe in breathwork as a method for better understanding one's self.
For connecting our presence with the environments that create a greater immersion into the elements and Nature.
Modern life keeps the body stuck in chronic stress. When anxiety, burnout and mental fatigue take over, your nervous system needs a physical reset and renewal.
Breathwork is a way of exploring our responses to living in the now, when all modern distractions have been eliminated. A return to true presence, immersing in what it means to be you, unfiltered, uninfluenced by our personal stories, education, training, and careers. Removing all that noise of expectation, roles, and pressure.
Simply to return to the function of living and breathing, and to take in our environment quietly, with mastery and reverence, without conquering, or having to dominate the metrics.
No longer a pursuit, or a striving, merely deliberately being at the centre of our own personal adventure into understanding, acceptance, and our own natural evolution.

Enriching Teenager Educational Journeys – Recovery, Resilience & Wellbeing
A group of Year 10 Scotch College students embarked on a program of resilience building through breathwork, immersing in the hot and cold waters of the Peninsula Hot Springs. During a three-day immersive experience focusing on outdoor activities, yoga, and breathwork the students learned to manage stress and enhance self-awareness via breathing techniques and thermal contrast therapy. This custom developed program fostered resilience and mental strength, demonstrating the benefits of mindful practices amid academic and sporting pressures.
Snow, Stillness and Espresso: Morning Begins the Retreat from Modern Life to Alpine Telemark at Hotham
The retreat from modern life, maybe it’s just the need for simple pleasures? The daily ritual of brewing espresso on the stove, enhanced by a morning beginning in the mountains. The richness of coffee roasted deeply in Italian heritage and craftsmanship. Connecting to nature and life’s essence in the Victorian High Country and Alps, finding stillness and joy through artisanal practices and adventures.
Quiet Stillness in the Alpine Winter Mist – A Nervous System Rebalance
Quiet stillness we may crave, and far away out of reach it often appears. However the deep appreciation for the quiet beauty of nature, particularly during a solitary alpine experience, it doesn’t have to come from an epic journey. The opportunity and importance of disconnecting from digital distractions to embrace the present moment, enhance breathing, and find peace in nature, it’s within reach. But to go out there, and relax into mindfulness and engage with the outdoor world, there’s untold magic to discover.

WORKING WITH MARLON
Restoring mental health and vitality
With more than a decade of experience guiding in marine and wilderness environments, I help you build resilience, regulate your nervous system, and restore mental well-being though breathwork, cold water immersion, and natural movement in nature.
The Power of the Elements & Nature
Nature isn't just a backdrop; it's the grand catalyst for change and development. By pairing intentional, regulated breathwork with cold water immersion and natural movement, we target your nervous system directly.
Out in the elements, the noise quietens. Your breath grounds you, the cold awakens you, and movement brings you back into direct, meaningful connection in radical presence with your body and mind.
I combine over a decade of wilderness guiding and aquatic safety, instructing freediving, providing snorkelling training, coaching cycling, and leading people swimming in the Australian oceans and bicycling across European mountains, using breathwork to create grounded, transformational outdoor experiences.
My goal isn't just to help you relax - it's to give you the practical, embodied tools to navigate life with calm and presence.
I am always open to connecting with business, organisation, regional community and school leaders, NDIS support networks, and publications that value authentic, grounded approaches to life, work, and the outdoors.
RECLAIM AND RESTORE YOUR PRESENCE WITH
Breathwork
In these teachings, breathwork is different to the popularised wellness. I teach you to quiet the noise. To use the tools to regulate your nervous system, the very ones hidden in your chest. Restore your mental health & vitality, and build radical presence and adaptive resilience through breathwork, executive coaching, and fluid movement in the wild outdoors.

Shauna
introspective and expansive
A deeply nurturing invitation to explore breath within our bodies, witnessing your breath & gently coming to complete softness, relaxation and surrender within the water, under Marlon’s kind, safe & trusting guidance. The incredible preparation and process of learning..I personally found to be touching those spaces of personal spirituality an unexpected bonus... Marlon continued to gently kept encouraging us and refining our own nuances as we descended beneath the surface. I adored every moment of this exhilarating...experience! Thank you.
