What is Buteyko Breathing?

The Buteyko Breathing Method is a proven, science-backed way to retrain the way you breathe—calming your nervous system, improving oxygen delivery, and supporting your health in powerful ways.

Named after Ukrainian doctor Konstantin Buteyko, this method recognises that many health issues stem from chronic over-breathing—or taking in more air than the body actually needs.

BreatheWell is the name I’ve given to my approach to teaching the Buteyko Method. With over 20 years of experience, I offer practical, personalised breathing retraining to help you feel better—naturally.

Rather than encouraging deep breathing, I teach gentle, nasal, diaphragmatic breathing—so you can breathe less, but better.
