I did the course for general interest in wellbeing through breath. I did have some initial doubt that the course could be “woo woo.” My main symptoms were coughing, shortness of breathing, waking at night and a foggy brain. Straight away everything made sense and fitted with other things I had read and heard about breathing. Nicky was clear and easy to understand and the supporting book was very helpful. After a couple of weeks I was sleeping better and feeling calmer. At the reassessment on the 5th session my symptom score had halved. I was benefiting from nasal breathing while exercising – no more wheezing due to overreaching my fitness. Overall I am more able to calm myself down easily, feel better at going up hills, am sleeping better, coughing less, yawning less and feeling more in control. Nicky’s teaching and coaching was top notch – knowledgeable, clear and supportive. I am really glad that I have completed the course and am looking forward to continuing my breathing practice. The course was quite expensive in terms of disposable income but well suited to the value of the course. I would absolutely recommend it. Patsy Anderson, Nelson

I attended a breathing workshop with Nicky as I wanted to explore methods that work well with improving public speaking techniques. I was amazed by the impact the workshop had on my entire life, not just on my professional development, and the amount of new information I learned about my body and breathing. I learned a new method that I can now use for my entire wellbeing, during sports and while delivering speaking engagements and workshops, too. Highly recommend Nicky's services, she offers great guidance and a wealth of knowledge!
The course has been amazing, I came into it a not well individual with sleep Aponia, snoring and was a chronic mouth breather. I felt perpetually tired and was having an average of 37 Aponia events an hour and for periods as long as 210 seconds, my O2 sats would drop into the low 60's, as my partner said to me I was a ticking time bomb. I also had Reflux, headaches and Migraines. I have grown up mouth breathing believing that my nose didn't work so I had to mouth breathe, I have had operations to try to treat my Aponia and snoring which failed and was looking at being stuck on a CPAP machine till end of days. I am so grateful for the course and my breathing practitioner and what I have been able to achieve, my CO2 has come up into normal levels from being well below, I wake refreshed and awake, I don't feel like I need to have a nap or end the day exhausted, I don't use the CPAP machine at all anymore nor do I take Omeprazole or have had a Headaches or Migraines since, I am looking forward to continuing my breathing journey being much better equipped and with much greater knowledge. I will continue to consult with Nicky as slipping backwards is not an option for me. My Gratitude to Nicky is immense and I will remain grateful till the end of days as opposed to being stuck with a mechanical breathing apparatus until then.
I did the course to increase my understanding of what is good breathing and therefore pass it on in my own teaching practice. My main symptoms were mild hay fever and mild anxiety brought on by menopause. I use antihistamine during the peak hay fever season and I now look forward to Oct/Nov to see how I can control it with reduced nasal breathing. My general health and wellbeing has improved. Becoming a highly conscious nose breather has helped improve my fatigue levels experienced by long hours of teaching and talking. As has sleeping better. This along with removing caffeine from my diet has helped calm my system and I feel more balanced generally and less anxious. Nicky is very professional, friendly and approachable and able to answer queries readily. I liked the course set out. Because of our work commitments we were able to do all the training within one week and then the breathing practice for 6 weeks, while a high commitment in time, it was consolidating to changing behaviour patterns that could have easily reverted. The follow up session was valuable to measure and reinforce change. I feel lucky to have been able to do the course and will continue to recommend it to others.
I did the course due to anxiety (which I now realise was pretty much down to chronic hyperventilation). No one had suggested breathing as a possible cause and cure method and I thought that maybe the only way to deal with my symptoms was to take medication and hope to return to normal. I felt fully supported from the outset of the course and throughout. All my sessions ran over in varying degrees which to me is the ultimate sign that the practitioner is interested in helping you progress rather than clock-watching and charging you for overtime. Extra sessions were provided to check in on progress when I was struggling. The course was 100% worth the time and monetary investment. I was a bit worried when I first signed up as it seemed like a lot of money to spend but in hindsight it was worth every cent. Not only have my own symptoms improved vastly (and will hopefully continue to do so) but I feel like I have knowledge to impart to those around me. Even the supplementary information in the course (around diet, sleep, exercise and other breathing-related conditions) was so interesting. It’s kind of crazy that people don’t learn this stuff at school but I have since recommended the Breathing Clinic to the local doctor’s surgery so they can refer people in future rather than falling straight back onto drugs/medicine.
I had the privilege of having a consultation with Nicky regarding my breathing issues, I was amazed at her knowledge and professionalism and she gave me such practical tools to begin to change my breathing patterns. I have felt much more at ease and peaceful since that time and I'm looking forward to working for her in the near future and to help me further and with my daughters breathing issues too. I would highly recommend Nicky to anyone who is having breathing issues, whether related to sleep, allergies asthma and many more. Thank you Nicky.
I was having difficulty sleeping (snoring), waking up tired, struggling with managing stress and generally feeling tired all day and struggling to concentrate. Initially I was skeptical about the link with breathing and health and well being. Within 1 week of starting the course I had an improved feeling of well being generally and I now wake up feeling rested which is great. This has allowed me to function better during the day at work. Within 2 weeks I noticed a marked change in my levels of anxiety. The course teaching was delivered very well and Nicky was very supportive during the following weeks of breathing retraining exercises. The investment has been well worth it. The change that it brings far outweighs the time or money involved. I would highly recommend this course.
