Embark on a Transformative Breathing Journey:

Every journey is different, as breathing retraining is unique to the individual. We will adapt our approach based on your current breathing patterns, health conditions, nervous system health and lifestyle. There are 15 core elements that I cover with all clients: 

1. A Complete Breathing Assessment - Our journey begins here by evaluating your breathing. We'll examine its mechanics, biochemistry, and the influence of past stress and trauma. From the outset, we'll pinpoint any unhealthy breathing patterns and lifestyle aspects that can be improved upon.

2. How to Breathe 101 – We will cover the foundational elements of Buteyko Breathing: nasal breathing 24/7, mouth taping, small breath holds and breathing light. 

3. Intermediate & Advanced level Breathing Exercises - During our time together, you will learn a wide range of breathing techniques, each week building on the last. All the practices are founded in the principles of Buteyko Breathing, providing immediate and long-term benefits.

4. Between Fight or Flight and Rest & Digest - Gain expertise in managing your nervous system to achieve either tranquillity and balance or heightened energy and focus as needed.

5. Access Mental Clarity - Learn the theory and techniques to improve oxygen delivery and blood flow to your brain, initially on-demand, and eventually 24/7.

6. Building Stress Resilience - Learn breathing techniques to effectively lower stress and anxiety levels. Over time, your breathing will change so that you feel calmer and more relaxed all of the time.

7. Diaphragmatic Breathing Mastery - Perfect the art of activating the diaphragm, for optimal health benefits.

8. Breath-Powered Sleep Enhancement - Utilize breathing methods to prepare the body for deeper, more restorative sleep.

9. Night-time Breathing Rituals - Develop evening breathing routines to improve the quality of deep and REM sleep stages. We will look at sleep posture, mouth taping, bedroom environment optimisations and more.

10. Common Breathing Mistakes and How to Avoid them - With so much misleading information out there, we will identify bad habits and incorrect techniques to prevent wasted time or negative impacts on your health.

11. Adaptations for Specific Health Conditions & Sensitive Nervous Systems - Conditions such as Long Covid, ME/CFS & Sensitive nervous systems need a carefully adapted approach.

12. Deepening Relaxation – Buteyko isn’t just about breathing, it is also about learning to relax the body, during breathing exercises and throughout your day.    

13. Breathing Adaptations for Busy People - The more you put into your breathing practice, the more you will get out of it. But there are lots of ways to integrate breathing into your day, no matter what your lifestyle.

14. Implement Buteyko Lifestyle Changes - Change the way you breathe during physical exercise, sleep and while speaking to “plug the leaks” and progress to new levels of wellbeing.

15. Light, Slow, and Deep (Diaphragmatic) Breathing - Embrace a breathing method that is gentle, slow, and deep to maximize oxygen uptake, deep relaxation and repair.
