Jamie has worked alongside top entrepreneurs, politicians, athletes and many more, to share the life changing potential of breathwork and altered states of consciousness. After discovering out first-hand just how impactful breathwork can be, through his own journey with anxiety and panic attacks, Jamie strongly believes that breathwork is the most universal and powerful tool that we all have access to change our minds and live healthier, happier lives.

From building a career as a Spanish translator and trainer in the language services industry, to progressing as an academic in the higher education sector, a researcher in the charity sector, plus holding multiple leadership roles. Hayley had a career full of work that required technical ability: command of a foreign language, lesson planning, and data analysis to name a few. Although her technical skills were strong, she was rarely praised on them. Instead, she was complimented on her confidence, curiosity, ability to self-reflect, and the way she supported people.She soon realised that human skills are the key to career success.

That’s why she created Five to Nine — to help you translate your brand into a business generator online.
