I was experiencing shortness of breath brought on by mild anxiety, a condition which was incredibly frustrating and distracting while trying to perform my duties in my high-pressure job. Belinda’s breathing exercises have reduced the frequency and severity of this occurring – something that has given me immense relief.

The nose unblocking exercise is an absolute revelation! I am sleeping better at night, and have found I have greater lung capacity during intense exercise. Next year I am planning to compete in a marathon for the first time. Thanks Belinda!

I can’t thank Belinda enough for helping me learn how to breathe better! Most importantly my sleeping has improved, I don’t wake up exhausted every day and I feel calmer. I’ve suffered from allergies all my life. My symptoms of stuffy nose, blocked sinuses and chronic coughing have been debilitating even with medication. I’ve recently been under a lot of stress and not sleeping well. On top of that I have developed high blood pressure and started snoring.

I was so lucky to discover that Belinda was available to encourage and guide me. In a few sessions she set up a programme of exercises for me, taking into consideration my existing health problems. After working with Belinda and doing the exercises for a short time my sleeping has improved dramatically. I’m falling asleep easily and my snoring is negligible. Despite my allergies I haven’t had a blocked nose since I started the nose unblocking exercises.

My blood pressure is back to normal …. with a low dose of medication which may be further reduced.

I know from so many times in my life, just how breathlessness feels. I feel blessed you’ve shown me the Buteyko “LIGHT”! I use it between swimming laps of the pool, when I can feel wheeze in the bronchi is causing me breathlessness ….. I stop in the shallow end and do the swaying nose hold for maybe 30 secs and get relief immediately. Wonderful! Then I can go back to my laps, with the wheeze gone….

Swimming is SO good for freeing my breathing and eliminating breathlessness – which is something I’ve grown so used to, I hardly realize it.

So thank you for bringing my breathing into my awareness again…. But especially reviving the Buteyko techniques I learned 27 years ago. They really work!

I was looking for someone to teach me breathing techniques to help with my stress, general health and feel more comfortable wearing a mask.

Belinda is a great teacher. Her knowledge, professionality, personability made me feel relaxed and comfortable.

The practice in session gave me the confidence to try at home and her handouts were easy to follow. Belinda was comprehensive, encouraging and motivating in her follow up, even sharing relevant research articles, which was great for me as a psychologist.

I would definitely recommend Belinda to my clients without hesitation.

I have been a runner for the past 50 years and rarely a day goes by without me covering my mandatory 10km in the mornings.

Since learning about the importance of functional, healthy breathing, my running and recovery have improved immensely. Despite suffering with nasal polyps, I have been able to easily modify my technique so that I am now maximising the breath during running.

Belinda has shared her expertise with me and her knowledge and education have helped improve not only my running but also my sleep and my overall health.

Thank you Belinda!

I am 78 and had asthma as a child and for over 40 years.

I heard about Buteyko breathing which was strongly recommended to me, but I “never got around to it.” I have sleep apnoea, am on a CPAP machine and have Type 2 Diabetes.

I was fascinated when Belinda spoke about her Breathe Light business, and soon my wife and I both did 10 Zoom hourly sessions with her. It has been immensely successful for me, and I can only say briefly that I believe it has come just in time because perhaps another year it may have been too late and my breathing could have deteriorated further.

I need more practice and I will be returning for refresher sessions, because Belinda is so professional and accommodating to what a person really needs with regard to their breathing, which is so important.
