Oli Blomfield
Onwards Breath
Advanced Oxygen Advantage® Instructor & Breathwork Coach
Oli is a breathwork practitioner who supports people to feel more at home in their bodies and better resourced in their daily lives. He is passionate about the role of functional breathing, movement, nature and simple, accessible practices in supporting wellbeing, resilience and sustainable performance. Having lived and worked in the Lake District for over 14 years, Oli’s work is deeply influenced by the natural environment and time spent outdoors.
As an Oxygen Advantage® Advanced Instructor, Oli combines science-informed functional breathing with person-centred breathwork. His approach draws on training with Aria Breath and Alchemy of Breath, supporting people seeking calm, clarity, emotional regulation and improved performance.
Oli’s path into breathwork comes from lived experience. After a career in sales across the commercial and third sectors, alongside more than a decade as an ultra-distance and fell runner, he experienced burnout that significantly impacted his physical and mental health. Breathwork became a constant and supportive tool throughout his recovery, shaping the way he now works with others.
Becoming a parent further deepened Oli’s understanding of nervous-system regulation, sustainable energy and the importance of simple practices that fit into everyday life. He now works with people recovering from burnout, managing stress or anxiety, seeking deeper rest, or looking to improve performance — whether in sport, work or daily living.
Oli begins his work with a one-to-one conversation, focusing on alignment and suitability rather than labels. His role is to guide, support and empower people at their own pace, using breathwork to build resilience, connection and confidence — one breath at a time.
