Who we are


We’re Kathy and Michael, founders of Terranuma — a husband-and-wife team dedicated to helping individuals and organizations build resilience, regulate stress, and perform at their highest level.

Our work integrates evidence-based breathwork, nervous system training, and mindset practices to support mental clarity, emotional steadiness, and sustainable performance. We’ve facilitated experiences for executive leadership groups, Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO), Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), First Responders, and educators working in high-stress environments.

Michael specializes in breathwork, performance, and stress resilience. He is certified in the Wim Hof Method (trained with Wim Hof), Oxygen Advantage (Patrick McKeown), and XPT Performance Breathing (Laird Hamilton and Gabby Reece). His work focuses on helping individuals expand their capacity under pressure and build a more resilient nervous system.

Kathy brings over a decade of experience in high-demand environments, including 14 years as a public school teacher in New York City and work within charter school networks. She is trained in reiki and somatic practices, and is known for creating grounded, accessible, and psychologically safe environments for transformation.

Together, we create powerful, grounded experiences that blend science, presence, and human connection — helping participants reconnect to themselves while expanding how they lead, perform, and live.

  • I cannot stress enough how amazing the experience was. Michael and Kathy provided an amazing space and created an environment of trust and love. I would do this again without a doubt and I feel very safe recommending it to anyone. Thank you again Michael and Kathy, you both are amazing people!
