About The Breathing Coach
Breathing Coach was founded by Savio D'Souza who has had over thirty five years of experience in both the conventional and alternative health sectors. He is passionate about improving health and well being amongst clients.
What is the Buteyko Method?
The Buteyko method was developed by Konstantin Buteyko. As a medical student in 1952 he observed that as people approached death they began to hyperventilate. This hyperventilation was believed to be a major factor in the cause of their death. From his experiments he determined that as much 90% of the population was over-breathing or hyperventilating
By over-breathing means that carbon dioxide level important for the effectiveness of breathing was being lost. This means that further over-breathing was occurring to try and enable more oxygen to be gained less efficiently.
Learning to reduce the volume of breathing can be normalized as carbon dioxide levels are returned to normal.
“My wife made me sleep in the spare bedroom as my snoring was so bad that it was really affecting her sleep and was causing a strain on both of us. I was surprised what a difference a change to breathing can do.”
