Breathwork has become increasingly visible in contemporary health, wellbeing and personal development. But what actually happens when we change the way we breathe? What does the research tell us? How do different approaches to breathwork differ? And how can breathwork be used safely and meaningfully within therapeutic practice? This website provides a growing resource for exploring these questions, alongside the development, practice and research of Guided Respiration Mindfulness Therapy (GRMT), a clinically oriented approach to breathwork.
Welcome! I’m Dr Lloyd Lalande. I'm a psychotherapist and for more than four decades breathwork has been my close companion - facilitating my own journing of healing and transformation, and the transformatin of many in my clinical practice, teaching and research. My development of Guided Respiration Mindfulness Therapy (GRMT), is my attempt to express my gratitude for breathwork by giving something back to the field in the form of a structured therapeutic approach suitable for your regular clinical mental health practice. GRMT is grounded in personal and clinical experience and informed by research. Here you can learn more about my journey and the story behind GRMT.
