I took the Buteyko certification course, and it has paid off client after client for five years. It's the one course that I recommend to every myofunctional therapist, because you cannot treat myofunctional disorders without treating the breathing dysfunction and the compensational patterns that comes with that.
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 wasn’t aware as a medic that just because we breathe automatically, it doesn’t mean we breathe efficiently. Everything I learned through Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko completely changed how I see breathing and health.
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.
The Buteyko training has been a truly enriching and transformative experience for me. It beautifully combines clear scientific understanding with practical, applicable techniques that I can confidently use with my patients and clients. Patrick’s way of teaching makes complex physiology simple, engaging, and deeply meaningful.
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.
I came in with high expectations and those expectations were exceeded. My journey to becoming a myofunctional therapist is quite personal. I have been chasing how to improve dysfunctional breathing for almost 20 years and have picked up many things along the way. This course was the last piece of the puzzle but it should have been the first.
As a speech therapist, I consider it very important to eliminate mouth breathing in both children and adults, as this significantly contributes to increasing the effectiveness of speech therapy interventions.

Connor Dent
"Driven to help people reduce chronic anxiety, sleep apnea and exhaustion during sport, through the modality of breath.
My clients range from CrossFit athletes, jiu-jitsu competitors and powerlifters to tennis players, cheerleaders, climbers, rowers, runners and yogis. A broad understanding of many sports disciplines feeds into my own practice of jiu-jitsu, rowing and yoga."
Kathryn Khiroya
"I integrate functional breathing retraining with evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle support to address stress, sleep, respiratory health, and performance.
Working with adults, athletes, and families, my one-on-one sessions and small group education take a calm, clinical, and whole-person approach."
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."
