When a childhood
inspires a revolution

Jean-Louis Portales is a sports enthusiast, with a state diploma as a sports instructor in alpine skiing and diving, a competitor and passionate freediver, sports coach, yoga teacher...

Jean-Louis is a self-taught individual who has been studying breathing for over 30 years.

With an asthmatic father, he has been confronted since early childhood with a very strange illness and found in all the drawers of the house funny little gray and blue devices that fit in the hand and which, when pressed, magically restored his father's breath.

It was undoubtedly the strange and repeated noise of this machine that triggered in him the need to understand how the respiratory system works and, above all, to try at all costs not to fall into the same dependency.

Over the years, he has come to better understand the benefits of ample and deep breathing on mental and physical health, on stress management, emotions, and of course, on athletic performance.

ZenSpire^®, based on

heart coherence exercises, is the ideal solution

to the main scourges of our time:

Stress and lack of sleep.

He is intimately convinced that through breathing and the implementation of practical exercises such as those of cardiac coherence, he can greatly improve the health of his fellow citizens.

In 2015, with the help of a network of experts, therapists and doctors, he developed the O2CHAIR, the world's first breathing chair.

This patented, all-in-one concept guides the user towards slower and deeper breathing.

In 2017, he received a gold medal at the Lépine competition.

The success was immediate and the O2chair is now available in over 20 countries worldwide.

A medical version is also being commercialized.

After selling his company, he decided to go even further in this field and believes that cardiac coherence and its benefits should be accessible to everyone, without special knowledge and in all life situations.

In late 2018, he launched ZenSpire^®, the first portable breathing coach, which he wanted to be disconnected.

It is very easy to use, harmless, non-addictive, inexpensive, and available at any time of day.

Because a stressful event

doesn't give a warning (hello, I'm Mr. Stress, I'll be arriving at 10:45 AM

Thursday morning!)

Because I don't have 5 minutes to myself and I don't have time to learn how to breathe, go to the gym, do yoga...

Because it can slip in anywhere:

the nurse's smock, the soldier's backpack, the schoolchild's satchel, on the secretary's desk...
