What is taught

Our therapy consists of learning and applying Buteyko Breathing Method and other lifestyle guidelines which have been proven to considerably reduce symptoms and dependency on medication. All medication is continued alongside our program and only upon improvement of symptoms medication may be reduced based strictly on consultation and recommendation by a medical doctor. Our commitment through workshop and follow up support is to work with each person until they can correctly apply program and achieve results.

Results to expect

On average person who deliberately practice exercises according to practitioner's recommendation will experience a substantial improvement of their asthma within five weeks and a two third reduction of medication within an eight month period.* The older the person and the greater the severity of his/her condition, the more time necessary to normalize breathing and safely reduce medication.

*Results are based on both reported feedback and clinical trials. Individual results may vary.
