Former client
“Before I started working with Abby on my breathing, I was really struggling with yawning and feeling like I couldn’t take a satisfactory breath… It was frustrating and left me feeling tense and uneasy throughout the day. Since receiving support from Abby, I’ve experienced such positive changes. My breathing feels much more natural and controlled, and I no longer feel the constant need to yawn. I feel calmer, more at ease, and I’ve noticed improvements in my overall sense of well-being. Abby’s guidance has been invaluable, and I’m so grateful for the progress I’ve made.”
Former client
“So many people don’t realise their symptoms are even related to dysfunctional breathing, let alone that there is help & support available.
Former client
“I would 100% recommend Abby to others struggling with dysfunctional breathing. Working with Abby has had such a massive impact on my life. She made me feel so supported and validated. She has helped me to significantly reduce my pain. With Abby's help, I have learnt so much about myself, my body, and my breathing”
