Breathing Retraining Center

Breathing Retraining Center We teach healthy-breathing habits classes online and coach individuals to breathe easier. It is a complementary, breathing re-education program.

We teach many breathing and relaxation techniques, featuring but not limited to the Buteyko Breathing Technique.

Are you confused when you leave your doctor's office about where and how to start with your treatment plan? A behavioral coach will help you figure out how to incorporate your self-care into your day in a way that works for you!

Especially with breathing, there are so many ways to approach feeling better. It's OK if you can't do everything at once, or if the many steps to change seem overwhelming. Even one small step a day over time can get you to a much better place.

If you need help, accountability or inspiration, I am here to be of service.

You leave the doctor's office with a plan. Weeks later, you're still doing things the same way.

This isn't a willpower problem. Most people need support turning the plan into a daily routine.

As a breathing coach, this is where I come in, filling the space between what your doctor recommends and what you do every day.

New post is up, covering what a breathing coach does with the time a doctor's appointment doesn't allow.

Have you ever quit a breathing or other health program and blamed yourself?

Here's what the research actually says: 50–80% of people abandon new health behaviors within 8 weeks — not because they lack discipline, but because the program asked for more than their nervous system could sustain. When the load of our life -- in all areas includimg health, family, career, money, and more -- is greater than capacity, we can't do it all.

I built something different. It's called Stop Starting Over — a 4-week program where the daily breathing
practice is 2 minutes, missed days don't reset anything, and comebacks count as wins. At the beginning we're training manageability, consistency and frequency over intensity.

Small pilot cohort this May. 6–8 people. $147 pilot price.

The New Year Breathing Reset, where we’ll use the Breathing Wellness Wheel to identify your real starting point and create one simple, realistic breathing goal for January.

🗓 Sunday, Dec 28
⏰ 4–5 PM Pacific (PT)/6 PM Central/7 PM Eastern
💻 Free & online
No shame. No pushing. No overwhelm.
Just a calm, supportive reset.

Most people start breathing training with the best intentions — but only 1 in 3 actually sticks with it long enough to see real change.

Why? Because knowing what to do isn’t enough. You need the how — how to stay consistent, motivated, and confident that your effort is working.

Date: Sunday, November 16, 2025

The Hidden Link Between Fear and Poor Breathing

Fear doesn't just impact your thoughts -- it affects your breath. When stress or anxiety take over, many of us default to mouth breathing, which in turn can ramp up feelings of anxiety and overwhelm. But here's the good news: You can break the fear-breathing cycle and take control of your breathing.

Join the free Fear-Breathing Reset Challenge this coming Monday.

In three mornings, you'll discover how to:
-Recogize the hidden ways fear is affecting your breathing
-Learn practical tools to break the cycle
-Discover calming breathing exercises that can help you reduce stress and feel more in control

Question of the Week: Have you ever caught yourself holding your breath in a stressful situation? What was happening at the time?

Breath-holding is a common but often unnoticed response to stress, fear, or deep concentration. Sometimes called “email apnea” or “freeze breathing,” it can leave you feeling tense, lightheaded, or even more anxious.

This week, start paying attention—do you ever hold your breath without realizing it? What triggers it for you? Share your experience in the comments!
