“I only had a breathing assessment with Nicky and just from that I gained a lot of insight as to how I could improve my breathing and my health. One simple change has made a world of difference to my exercise induced asthma to the extent that I don’t get it any more."
Change the way you feel
Breathing is an automatic function however unlike other automatic functions in the body, we can override it and cause it to malfunction. Dysfunctional breathing or breathing that is physiologically abnormal has a dramatic effect on the way your body functions. A breathing assessment can identify breathing dysfunction and through a breathing retraining course you can learn what to do about it and how to change the way you breathe. This changes the way you feel, both physically and emotionally.
Tens of thousands of people around the world have used this science-based, straight-forward, practical approach to get fast, significant and sustained relief from breathing-related conditions such as snoring, sleep apnoea, insomnia, anxiety, panic attacks, asthma, hay fever, allergies, sinusitis, blocked nose, recurrent respiratory infections, chronic cough, headaches, migraine, epilepsy and impaired singing, speaking or sports performance.
