Testimonials

"I highly recommend this course.

Jennifer's thoughtful preparation of the course materials and supports for home practice and her excellent instruction made the process of retraining my breathing quite accessible and enjoyable.

I have a chronic lung condition which is characterized by a chronic cough and difficulty breathing. Through the breathing exercises and education in this course, my symptoms decreased by more than 50%. I sleep better and have greater endurance. I also experience significantly less coughing fits, and am able recover much quicker when I do.

I look forward to continuing to work with my breathing and to recommend Buteyko breathing to my patients.

"Learning Buteyko with Jennifer was a top notch, transformational experience. As I discovered, it’s not easy trying to change breathing habits, and Jennifer was always patient and encouraging. Her calm, relaxed demeanour is a testament to Buteyko on it’s own! After just several weeks, I noticed a reduction in symptoms and exercise was easier and more enjoyable. As a movement instructor, it has changed the way I think about breathing for myself and my clients. I’d highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking to try Buteyko — it’s one of the best investments I’ve made in my health.

"I originally tried to get into the Buteyko work through books and online resources – but I was making very little progress and my reactions to trying the exercises were very stressful. When I heard about Jennifer’s work, I decided to have a final try at the work with her – and I’m so glad I did! Jennifer was very supportive, and the information she provided was clear and helpful. I made SO much more progress in my few sessions with her – I would highly recommend working with Jennifer if you want to make headway with the Buteyko approach.

"I am really enjoying my breath journey and learning a lot about myself in the process. I so appreciate your introduction to the method your guidance and your patience. Everything you presented was perfect. Your information taught me the method in a logical order making it simple and approachable. I especially loved the pictures of the Olympic athletes, so impactful. Your explanation of the biochemical process was also so meaningful, I am one who needs the science to buy-in. It was your guidance that has encouraged me to continue on this journey and hopefully at some point be able to offer this method to my clients.

"I found Jennifer to be a delightful person and an excellent teacher of the Buteyko method. My daughter recommended her and the course after she was able to come off her asthma medication. The written course content is easy to follow and is reinforced, added to and made more personal in the Zoom sessions. I experienced a significant improvement in symptoms and am currently being supported by Jennifer as I learn to ‘go it alone’. The course is not a ‘quick fix’ and requires commitment and perseverance but Jennifer is a therapist who has a warm and genuine desire to help you achieve your best possible outcome.

"Buteyko sessions with Jennifer was one of the best investments I've made in my health in a long time. Her expertise shines through in the clarity of her teaching, and her warmth and humour made for a great learning environment. I had been curious about Buteyko for several years, but there's no way I could have gained the understanding and results I did if I had just tried to read a book about it on my own. My anxious mind has quieted down more than I ever would have thought possible, I'm sleeping better, and now I understand how important functional breathing is to my long-term health. I'm doing all the sports I love at the same level or better, all while breathing through my nose. Sign up. You'll never look back!

"At a time when more and more people are becoming curious about breathing and the different ways to breath, Jennifer has created a comprehensive, interactive, through, and engaging course to give you the foundations of learning and understanding Buteyko breathing with the individual support to make it more accessible to your own needs. AND....she has the best and most calming voice for the guided meditations that I look forward to listening to each morning. :)

"Focusing on healing my breath, which we do multiple times a minute, has created a dramatic change on my daily life. My cold feet and hands, which I assumed was “just me” subsided, I no longer wake during the night, rather sleep right through, and my headaches are less. Jennifer, herself is wonderful to work with, she creates a safe working environment to learn and provides a combination of practical breathing techniques with understanding how we breathe on a physical/physiological level. Jennifer is very supportive and empathetic, allowing me to work at my own pace making this process my own. Working with Jennifer has been truly transformational, and can’t recommend it enough.
– S.S.

"I signed up for Jennifer's breath retraining program and I am so glad I did! It was a joy having a guided opportunity to repattern how I breathe. It has supported me in feeling greater presence and capacity in my daily life, and has helped me build a friendly relationship with my breath during moments of stress / overwhelm. Jennifer's guided approach offered the opportunity for me to learn new tools, and be in an ongoing educational opportunity to actually implement the tools so they could become useable and useful in my life. I didn't arrive with particularly challenging breath issues, yet, I still feel like this training has been an invaluable investment in my emotional and physical wellness.
