Josh’s Origin Story

From childhood into my early adult life I carried a deep sense of disconnection and anger. Drugs, alcohol and near-fatal pancreatitis at 21 pushed me into cycles of depression, anxiety and medication that left me numb. Losing my father to cancer years later broke something open in me, and what followed was addiction, withdrawal and the heaviest shame I had ever known. Meditation steadied me, but it was breathwork that changed everything. A single session cracked me open and released decades of pain I thought I’d buried for good. I woke the next day seeing the world differently, as if something inside had finally cleared.

That moment set my path. Breathwork showed me that healing is possible even when you think you are too far gone. Now I guide others through the same doorway with IMD: back into their bodies, their truth and their capacity to feel again.
