Welcome to EUPNOEA
Stress isn’t personal.
It’s physiological
Anxiety is not a personal failure.
It’s a nervous system response.
Through Functional Breathing and nervous system regulation,
I help people relate to stress in a new way so it stops running the show.
"Felipe’s workshops are truly inspiring! I learned that taking just a few minutes to breathe can make me more productive. The small changes we learned created significant improvements in my self-awareness, body consciousness, and overall serenity. A powerful and practical experience!"– Silvia, Coordination Professional (40)
Why work with me?
Hi, I'm
Dr. Felipe Torres
I’m a former ER physician who’s worked in environments where stress is constant and mistakes matter.
During the pandemic, I learned firsthand what staying in survival mode for too long does to even the most capable people.Functional Breathing became the doorway into understanding and regulating that response.
Today, I help professionals relate differently to stress,
not by pushing harder, but by working with the body instead of against it.
What is Eupnoea?
Eupnoea means true breath.In medicine, it refers to normal, unforced breathing.
Breathing that isn’t strained, rushed, or held.But its roots go deeper.From eu — true, balanced, well
and pnea — breath, air, spiritEupnoea describes a state where the body isn’t fighting itself.Where breathing reflects safety, not effort.
Where clarity comes from regulation, not control.This is the orientation behind my work.
At EUPNOEA, breathing isn’t treated as something to optimise
or another task to get right.
It’s approached as one of the most honest signals of how the nervous system is actually doing.
The work is grounded in three principles:• Science-informed, clinically grounded
• Integrating body, nervous system, and lived experience
• Practical enough to meet real life, not ideal conditions
This isn’t about breathing better.It’s about changing how you relate to stress, pressure, and yourself —
so your body move away from survival mode.
Less force.
More understanding.
The Problem
Stress doesn’t only live in the mind.
It lives in the body.
Burnout rarely looks like collapse.Many people keep functioning while their system stays quietly on edge.
Over time, that shows up as fatigue, poor sleep, irritability, and frustration
even when life looks "just fine" from the outside.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Your nervous system just hasn’t had space to recover.
That’s not failure.
It’s physiology.
And once you understand it,
You can stop fighting it.
"The practical application of breathing techniques and learning how to integrate them into daily life was the highlight. By the end of the workshop, I felt more focused, relaxed, and comfortable. The informal practice and real-world applications were particularly valuable."– Fatima, (Quality, Environment and Safety Specialist, 35)
Introducing
Powered By Breath
A physician-led program designed to transform how you approach stress
The work is grounded in physiology, informed by neuroscience, and designed to fit real life — not ideal conditions.
Not as something to do “right”, but as a practical way to notice, regulate, and create space when pressure shows up.
The approach is:> Simple — Easy to integrate into your routine (No special no equipment, no rituals, no performance)
> Effective — grounded in science and clinical experience.
> Accessible — at work, at home, in the moments that actually matter
This isn’t about transforming who you are.
It’s about changing how you relate to stress so it stops running the show.
"What impressed me most was the scientific approach to wellness and mental health, combined with the complete openness to address our questions. As a leader, I appreciate learning that we can practice coherent breathing techniques anywhere - whether at our desk or in front of a machine. The practical applications are incredibly clear and easy to implement."– Fernanda (55, Leadership/Management)

Ready to Start?
You don’t need more discipline. And you don’t need to try harder.If stress has been quietly running the system — affecting your sleep, focus, and sense of ease — that’s not a personal failure.
It’s a nervous system that hasn’t had the right kind of support.
Powered by Breath is an invitation to slow the process down, understand how your body works under pressure, and learn how to respond to it differently.
If this feels like the right moment, you’re welcome to take the next step.Book a first session or reach out if you’d like to talk things through.We’ll start where you are.
And take it one step — and one breath — at a time.
This isn’t an assessment or a sales call.It’s a calm, structured conversation where we slow things down and look at what’s been happening in your body under stress.I’ll ask a few questions.
You can ask anything you need.There’s no pressure to commit, fix, or perform.We’re simply checking whether working together feels like the right next step — for both of us.
