4-Week Personalised Breathing Re-education Programme
Breathe better. Sleep deeper. Stress less.
If you're constantly thinking about your breathing, struggling to get a satisfying breath, feeling breathless, anxious, or waking tired despite doing "all the right things," you're not alone.
Breathing patterns can change over time due to stress, illness, surgery, chronic pain, anxiety or poor sleep. What once felt automatic can become inefficient, leaving you feeling stuck in a cycle of over-breathing and tension.
The good news is that breathing patterns can be retrained.
Using the Buteyko Method, Oxygen Advantage® principles and personalised breathing re-education, we'll work together over four weeks to help you breathe more efficiently, calm your nervous system and build lasting breathing habits that support better health and wellbeing.
Suitable for:
Air hunger • Dysfunctional breathing • Mouth breathing • Snoring • Asthma • Breathlessness • Stress-related breathing • Poor sleep
Could Your Breathing Be Holding You Back?
You may benefit from personalised breathing re-education if you:
✓ You struggle with poor sleep or wake feeling tired and unrefreshed
✓ You snore, mouth breathe or wake with a dry mouth
✓ Stress or anxiety affects your breathing or makes it difficult to switch off
✓ You constantly think about your breathing
✓ You struggle to get a satisfying breath or often feel air hungry
✓ You frequently sigh, yawn or take deep breaths
✓ You experience breathlessness during everyday activities or exercise
✓ You have asthma or ongoing breathing symptoms
✓ You feel tightness in your chest, neck or shoulders
✓ You've been told your tests are "normal" but you still don't feel right
If several of these sound familiar, your breathing pattern may be contributing more than you realise.
Why Your Breathing Matters
Breathing is something we rarely think about until it starts affecting the way we feel.
Stress, illness, surgery, chronic pain, poor sleep and even everyday habits can gradually change the way we breathe. Over time, breathing can become faster, higher in the chest or less efficient, keeping your body in a constant state of alert.
This doesn't just affect your lungs. It can influence your sleep, energy, concentration, exercise tolerance and how calm or anxious you feel throughout the day.
The good news is that breathing patterns are learned—and like any habit, they can be retrained.
Using evidence-based breathing re-education, including the Buteyko Method and Oxygen Advantage® principles, we'll work together to help you develop a calmer, more efficient breathing pattern that supports your health and wellbeing.
How the 4-Week Programme Works
Breathing retraining isn't about learning one breathing exercise. It's about understanding how you're breathing now, why it may be contributing to your symptoms, and gradually building healthier breathing habits that become part of everyday life.
Over four weeks, we'll work together step by step.
Week 1 – Understanding Your Breathing
We begin with a comprehensive breathing assessment to understand your symptoms, breathing habits and goals.
We'll assess your breathing pattern, discuss the factors that may be influencing it, and introduce your first personalised breathing techniques.
You'll leave with a clear plan and simple practices to begin straight away.
Week 2 – Building Better Breathing Habits
We'll review your progress, answer any questions and refine your breathing exercises.
As your breathing begins to change, we'll introduce new techniques to help improve breathing efficiency and reduce symptoms.
Week 3 – Supporting Sleep, Stress & Daily Life
By now you'll be developing more consistent breathing habits.
We'll focus on applying your breathing skills to everyday situations such as sleep, stress, exercise, work or anxiety, depending on your goals.
Week 4 – Making the Changes Last
Our final session is about bringing everything together.
We'll review your progress, fine-tune your breathing plan and give you the confidence and tools to continue independently.
Throughout the Programme You'll Receive
✓ Four personalised one-to-one coaching sessions
✓ Individual breathing exercises tailored to your symptoms
✓ Guided breathing recordings
✓ A personalised home practice plan
✓ Ongoing support and accountability between sessions
✓ Practical strategies to help you build lasting breathing habits
Why Work With Me?
For over 25 years, I've helped people understand their bodies and improve their health through education, movement and practical lifestyle change.
My journey into breathing retraining came from seeing how often people were struggling with poor sleep, stress, anxiety and breathing symptoms, despite being told everything was "normal." I wanted to understand why.
That led me to train extensively in the Buteyko Method, become an Oxygen Advantage® Advanced Instructor, complete further training in sleep coaching, and continue building on my background in anatomy, physiology, yoga and stress management.
Today, I combine all of that experience to provide a personalised approach to breathing re-education.
I don't simply teach breathing exercises. I help you understand why your breathing has changed, what may be driving your symptoms, and how to build healthier breathing habits that fit into your everyday life.
Every programme is tailored to the individual because no two people breathe the same, and no two people have the same story.
Whether your goal is to sleep more deeply, reduce air hunger, improve asthma control, breathe more comfortably during exercise or simply feel calmer in your body, I'll support you every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have a diagnosed breathing disorder?
No. Many people I work with have been told their tests are "normal" but still experience symptoms such as poor sleep, mouth breathing, snoring, air hunger, breathlessness or anxiety-related breathing. This programme focuses on improving the way you breathe, whatever the underlying cause.
Do you work online or in person?
Yes. You can choose to work with me online via Google Meet from anywhere in Australia, or in person in Perth's northern suburbs if you prefer face-to-face support.
Is this suitable if I have asthma?
Yes. The Buteyko Method is commonly used by people with asthma to improve breathing efficiency and help manage symptoms. It works alongside the care provided by your GP or specialist and is not a replacement for medical advice.
How soon will I notice a difference?
Everyone is different. Some people notice changes within the first week, while for others it takes longer. Like learning any new skill, lasting change comes from consistent practice and building healthier breathing habits over time.
What happens after the four weeks?
By the end of the programme, most people have the knowledge, confidence and tools to continue on their own. If you feel you would benefit from additional support, follow-up sessions are available.
What if I'm not sure this programme is right for me?
That's exactly why I offer a free 30-minute Buteyko & Functional Breathing Discovery Call. We'll discuss your symptoms, answer your questions and decide together whether this programme is the right fit for you.
