What is this

A first-of-its-kind physiology experience

Stark NKD is a London-based human-performance brand combining psychology, breathing science, and immersive technology. The NKD Breath Lab is a pop-up space where students can see — in real time — what their breathing actually looks like under pressure.

This isn't a breathing class. It's data. Your data. Most people have never had access to it before.

VR + Real-Time Data

See how your breathing shifts during a VR pressure challenge — and how quickly your body recovers.

20 Minutes

Fast, immersive, science-led. No lectures. No theory. Just your physiology on screen.

Students Completely Free

Supported by 3Space and Fitzrovia Business Council. 300 places available. No catch.

What happens in a session

What's Included

Breathing Profile — 5 minutes

Clinical-grade capnometry sensor. Your CO₂ levels, breath by breath, on screen. Data most people have never seen before.

VR Pressure Challenge Optional

An immersive simulation that genuinely challenges your system — so you can see how your breathing shifts in real time.

VR Relaxation Sequence

Watch your breathing shift as your body downregulates. See your nervous system change state — live.

Group Coaching Debrief

Anna Stark explains what she saw in your data. Plain English. No diagnosis. Just insight.

Practical Reset Tools

Simple, science-backed tools you can use before exams, presentations, interviews, or anything that matters.

Your Breathing Blueprint

You leave not with a diagnosis — but with new insights, curiosity, and skills nobody's given you before.

Why it matters

Why Students Will Love It

→

It's about performance and self-awareness — not problems or diagnoses

→

It transforms stress from something to fear into something you can train

→

It gives you rare data about your own body that most people never access

→

It's immediately useful — before exams, presentations, interviews, competitions

→

And if exam season is feeling like a lot right now — come and say hi. No agenda. The door is open.

→

If exam stress or anxiety has been creeping in, this gives you something practical, not just advice

The founder

Meet Anna

I'm Anna Stark — a human-performance researcher, breath specialist, and founder of Stark NKD. My work combines psychology, respiratory science, and emerging technology to help people understand how their bodies react under pressure.

Before building Stark NKD, I spent nearly two decades in senior leadership roles. During Covid, I became fascinated by the science of the nervous system and began exploring technologies that could help people regulate stress more effectively. That path led me to retrain as a breathing behaviour analyst and to pursue a Master's degree in human performance in extreme environments.

I created the NKD Breath Lab to give students a fun, safe, hands-on way to explore their own physiology — not through lectures or theory, but through immersive experience.
