Success stories
The science and the tools
The Buteyko Method has completely transformed how I work with clients experiencing anxiety and breathing dysfunction. The certification gave me the science and the tools.
Fantastic!
It was a pleasure to attend lectures led by Patrick. The amount of theory and practical knowledge (exercises) was well balanced and kept me engaged.
I only wish I'd found it sooner.
The classes were divided equally between theory and practice of the method. Patrick also gave his time freely to make sure all questions were answered. The course materials are exceptional.
The course was well worth the cost and time. I only wish I'd found it sooner.
Wow....what a course!!!
Excellent, learn the skills to empower both your own and others health, the potential to improve your athletic ability and be a healthier stronger version of yourself. I believe everyone should know this!!!
Who is Buteyko Certification for?
Madison Scott, BSDH
"Buteyko is often the first place where we start. I have found that when we are improving breathing and our patients are reaching their goals, they are also in a much better state to start learning and implementing myofunctional therapy.
Because of that, we've had consistently better outcomes. So thank you to Patrick and Buteyko international for just being an amazing resource for all of us."
Dr. David McCarty, MD FAASM
"If I'm breathing through my nose and I have functioning paranasal sinuses doing their thing with their nitric oxide, I am literally able to get more oxygen out of the air I'm breathing.
The other thing that happens with the open mouth breathing posture is that we tend to take larger volume breaths with recovery. You take these very, very big breaths, and that's more likely to bottom out your CO2.
The future of sleep medicine is collaborative. This is too complex a problem for one silo of thought to handle."
Lindsay V. Bancosta, DMD, IMD
"Certified as a Buteyko Breathing Instructor, I incorporate breathwork techniques to support craniofacial development, respiratory health, and nervous system regulation.
Multidisciplinary approach empowers patients to reclaim their health through personalized, root-cause-focused care."
Gregory A Rittenhouse
"My career as a Respiratory Care Practitioner and Cardiopulmonary Educator spans 26 years. During that time I cared for patients with a variety of health issues in the emergency room, intensive care, and hyperbaric medicine.
I was trained and certified in The Buteyko Breathing Method by Patrick McKeown and I work with clients using various breathing techniques to overcome the effects of asthma, COPD, sleep disorders, anxiety, hypertension, seizure disorders, and other debilitating health problems."
Paula Mayne, MSc, RM
"Patrick knows this method inside out. He presented the information in a clear and logical fashion, citing clinical and experimental evidence to support the method. He explained complex (and paradoxical) physiology in a clear way.
The classes were divided equally between theory and practice of the method. Patrick also gave his time freely to make sure all questions were answered. The course materials are exceptional.
The course was well worth the cost and time. I only wish I'd found it sooner."
