Jim is an accredited Havening Practitioner, certified coach, NLC specialist and owner of Breathe Stretch Float - a wellness centre located in Adelaide specialising in providing scientifically proven benefits and quantifiable results through float therapy, halotherapy, yoga, dance, meditation, breathwork and sports performance and mindset coaching.

Having started his career as a keen athlete and representing Scotland and Great Britain at International level in Ice Hockey, Jim knows first-hand the many 'blockers' that can affect performance. Afterall, an athlete's mental edge is forged through the process of overcoming challenges and our minds are very powerful tools, affecting all areas of our lives - mentally, physically and emotionally.

A change in circumstances led him to a career as a Police officer where across the span of 16 years, Jim was frequently exposed to traumatic incidences, and colleagues and members of the public who displayed the after effects of trauma, including but not limited to PTSD. Having been diagnosed himself with two career ending degenerative neurological conditions, he experienced his own life altering trauma. During this period, Jim identified a gap across many modalities and service providers where clients were not getting any of the 'promised' results or progressing in their treatment.

A previous volunteer role in a survivors of abusive/narcissistic relationships group has provided Jim with specialised first-hand experience, particularly in the areas of anxiety, stress, depression and trauma. His business is an ambassador for the Love, Hope and Gratitude Foundation - a local not-for-profit charity that helps victims of domestic violence through counselling, advocacy and refuge accommodation for adults, children and pets.

With the life-changing discovery of Havening Techniques and passion for helping people, Jim's relaxed and friendly manner, combined with his natural ability, years of experience across a wide variety of positions and knowledge, has allowed him to be the conduit in the transformational effects it has had on his clients. His holistic approach to wellness and recognition as a highly skilled practitioner, has seen him present at a number of corporate and private conferences as a keynote speaker, bringing awareness and recognition to the personal empowerment and fast, lasting effects his range of modalities brings.

Jim currently offers face to face sessions in the comfort of Adelaide's first and only Himalayan Salt Cave at Breathe Stretch Float, Zoom or FaceTime sessions online. Appointments are available Monday to Friday (day and evenings).

PTSD

Entering Breathe Float Stretch was like stepping into a whole new world, you can’t hear any traffic, people, other offices, it just feels so calming, such an amazing vibe inside, like getting a big welcome hug from the universe ??
The salt cave really is something else, truly magical, I had my hour & a half Havening session with Jim to treat PTSD, I walked in feeling anxious & tight (stuck in fight or flight mode) & unloaded all that was heavy within me & I left feeling like an shiny, new, empty shell, my slate had been wiped clean ?
Floatation Therapy was simply incredible, I fell asleep inside the warm darkness & felt like I was dreamily floating down a mystical river ?
Our own healing is important ????
We owe this to ourselves ??

Collapsing the trauma that caused PTSD

I attended Breathe Stretch Float for the first time today. To say I was anxious arriving is an understatement but as soon as I walked through the door I felt right at home and and anxiety disappeared. The space Jim has created is beautiful. Adding to that, Jim is very friendly and the combination put me right at ease.

I had a havening session with Jim followed by a float session. The havening was possibly the best experience I’ve had in my recovery from PTSD. Couple with the float that followed I am now feeling the best I have in decades.

I can’t recommend Breathe Stretch Float and the services Jim offers highly enough and will definitely be returning for more!

Thanks Jim. You’re a legend.

Childhood Anxiety

After a recommendation from a friend, I booked a Havening session for my daughter who was experiencing anxiety about starting at a new school. We met with Jim, and from the moment we entered the salt room we were at ease, it was so calm and peaceful. The session was exactly what my daughter needed to help shift her mindset and release the anxiety she felt around her new school. She has been using the havening technique at home too and is feeling so much better. Thanks Jim.

Breathe Stretch Float Havening Session

From the very first moment I walked into B.S.F I knew I had stumbled upon something very unique.

A space I felt welcome, held and safe within seconds.

My first treatment was for a SoulNar session with Jo in the magnificent salt cave - My second visit was a beautiful private Sound Bath in the salt cave to mark a friend's birthday.

My third treatment is one that I'm still floating away from - Havening with Jim.

When I first asked the question about this healing technique - I knew it would be something powerful. It resonated with me because it is both science based and evidenced. I knew I could trust Jim given his transparency in sharing some of his own experiences and whilst I knew it may be confronting, I was made to feel completely safe, capable and free to be vulnerable.

Jim helped me shift a lot - about 3 times as much stuff as I had expected. The session felt insightful and completely taylored to me and my experiences. Guided by a kind soul who matched my energy and did an amazing job in leading me to the answers I've struggled years to find. I urge anyone struggling to let go, or stuck in uncomfortable holding patterns to have a chat with Jim about his offering.
