Rewriting the Nervous System: Jamie Clements on What Breathwork Really Offers
In this episode of The Choice to Grow, Scott sits down with breathwork practitioner and mental health advocate Jamie Clements. What begins as a conversation about the power of the breath unfolds into a deeper reflection on stillness, masculine identity, and what it takes to come back into the body. Jamie shares his own journey—from struggling with anxiety and dissociation to finding his voice through the breath—and the quiet revolution that happens when we stop running from our discomfort.
If you've ever felt like you're "doing all the work" but still not feeling safe inside your own life, this episode is for you.

His work explores the intersection of breath, consciousness, and human potential, drawing from Zen philosophy, non-dual approaches, modern neuroscience, and psychology to guide people towards deeper awareness and transformation.
Jamie has worked with top entrepreneurs, politicians, athletes, and global brands, sharing the life-changing potential of breathwork and altered states of consciousness. His approach is rooted in both scientific research and ancient wisdom, offering a unique blend of practical tools and profound insight.
After experiencing first-hand the profound impact of breathwork, Jamie is deeply passionate about helping others unlock its power.
