Dick Kuiper

Dick Kuiper was diagnosed with asthma in 1996. He was told about the Buteyko Method by a friend and applied it to help with his asthma. His first response was one of surprise when he realised how effective the method was. With a background as a University lecturer, the method appealed to Dick as it focuses on the entire body instead of viewing the body as a collection of fragmented parts. He trained with the BIBH and has worked In Holland as a Buteyko instructor since 2000. He founded the Buteyko Academie (www.buteykoacademie.nl) which organizes Buteyko Instructor training in Holland.
