Testimonial

I highly recommend contacting Marie. I was having issues with my breathing after a very stressful event. I completed five sessions of breathing retraining and found an instant improvement in my overall health. I no longer feel tired all the time and I’m sleeping so much better. I was constantly yawning and feeling anxious and stressed and now I feel so much better. I had no idea that so many symptoms were related to the way I was breathing. I can’t thank Marie enough for her support, she is extremely knowledgeable and has a lovely manner.

I was sceptical about how the dry-needling might ease my back pain but was at a loss at what else I could try. Marie explained the process well and outlined how it would benefit my condition and gave me the confidence to give it a go. Great results!

I was diagnosed with bronchiectasis but didn’t understand anything about the condition and what it meant for my lifestyle. Marie provided a full explanation and an awesome treatment plan to clear mucus in my chest and ease my chronic cough. I found the PEP device for my airway clearance plan fantastic and I’m no longer waking in the night coughing and have more energy in the daytime. I’m very thankful to Marie.

My teenager suffered from anxiety and stress and was diagnosed with a breathing disorder and was referred to Marie. The breathing retraining, mindfulness and hypno-physio techniques provided a great deal of support during this challenging time. I have seen a big improvement in my child’s behaviour and his breathing. Marie explained the physiology of the fight or flight stress response and how over- breathing can lead to many physical symptoms. The techniques and strategies have been amazing. Thank you, Marie.
