Bec also holds a WWC, First Aid & CPR qualifications. She is a closet rev head and a shameful Manly Sea Eagles supporter. Bec contributes a wealth of knowledge and experience in health, performance, surfing, aquatics, rehabilitation, injury prevention research and training to name just a few topics. We are incredibly proud and lucky to have her.
A few words from Bec.
"Learning the correct techniques for surfing breathwork and breath holds is essential for safety, survival, and performance in the water. I wish I had access to these techniques when I was on the World Surf Tour. Now, I use them for everyday life, for my role as an osteopath, and of course, for surfing!
Universal Apnea employs scientific and evidence-based approachs to breathwork and apnea training which made me feel more confident and capable in and out of the water.
I highly recommend these programs to anyone looking to improve their physical and mental wellbeing. Every single surfer should not only know how to swim, but have basic surf survival skills and breath management. It's not just about holding your breath during wipeouts.
There is so much more to performance, survival and confidence that you will achieve with this type of training."
