I am very excited to be an official sponsor and breathing coach to Rossland's Gnarlie's Angels roller derby team. Using the principles and techniques of the Buteyko Breathing Method I have worked with the Angels to help improve their general breathing as well as their performance and stamina on the track.

Roller derby is a fast paced, action packed, full contact sport. By controlling their breathing between plays the team can head back out onto the track better prepared for whatever their opponents throw at them.

I will be speaking about the Buteyko method and it's benefits at the "Ultimate Kootenay Pajama Party" a women's wellness expo at the Prestige Mountain Resort in Rossland on November 26 and 27. Organised by Danne Mykietyn of the DandiLion Wellness Centre the expo will feature a number of guest speakers and workshops.

See you there - in my pajamas!

My schedule for the fall is now set with free introductory talks in Rossland, Trail, Warfield and Castlegar through September, followed by 5 session courses in all four locations. Click on the 'Schedule' tab to see the full line up.

With the fall comes a change in the seasons, the weather and activities. Whether that change fills you with excitement for the coming winter or with a dread of winter wheezing and coughing it's a great time to think about your breathing.

I will be posting my fall schedule of introductory talks and courses throughout the West Kootenay region in the next couple of weeks, so check back soon.

Welcome to the new website of Breathing Space Health Solutions. I'm excited to be set up and ready to share the Buteyko breathing method with the people of the Kootenays, to help them overcome the conditions which are affecting their lives and be better equipped to enjoy this beautiful outdoor playground we call home.

Stay tuned for news of upcoming presentations and courses throughout the West Kootenay region.
