Functional breathing assessment

Are hidden breathing issues sabotaging your energy, sleep, and performance? Our personalised functional breathing assessment is the essential first step to identifying inefficient patterns and building the foundation for optimal health and vitality.

Why do you need a functional breathing assessment?

The way you breathe—even at rest—determines your body's stress response, oxygen efficiency, and overall resilience. This assessment is designed to uncover the invisible patterns that are contributing to:

• Anxiety & stress: Chest breathing and over-breathing constantly trigger your body's "fight or flight" (sympathetic) response.

• Chronic fatigue & low energy: Inefficient breathing limits oxygen delivery to your tissues and brain

• Poor sleep quality: Unstable breathing patterns often lead to snoring, mouth breathing, and interrupted sleep.

• Physical limitations: Identifying and correcting breathing issues can unlock improved athletic endurance and faster recovery.

• Mouth breathing & dry mouth: We assess your natural nasal vs. oral breathing habits and the long-term impact on your health.

What to expect during your session

Your one-on-one assessment is a focused, non-invasive process designed to be comfortable and highly informative. We use clinically relevant tools and observation to gather precise data on your current functional breathing state.

• Detailed intake & symptom analysis: We begin by discussing your health history, lifestyle, and specific symptoms.

• Physiological baseline measurements: We measure key indicators, including resting breathing rate, movement, and pauses.

• Observational breathing analysis: We observe your breathing mechanics (diaphragmatic vs. chest movement) during rest and conversation.

• Validated stress tolerance tests: We use simple, proven breath-hold tests (like the BOLT score) to determine your tolerance to carbon dioxide and breathing stability.

• Personalised feedback: Receive immediate, easy-to-understand feedback on your primary breathing dysfunctions before the session concludes.

Your personalised breathing roadmap

The assessment isn't just about identifying problems; it's about providing the clear, actionable plan you need to move forward. You will leave the session with:

• A summary Report: After the session, you will receive an email detailing your specific breathing dysfunctions and BOLT score.

• Areas for improvement: Clear identification of the most critical breathing habits you need to address.

• Individualized practice plan: Simple, effective introductory exercises to start correcting your patterns immediately.

• Expert recommendations: Guidance on next steps, whether it's further one-on-one coaching or cross-referral to other professionals.

Who can benefit from a breathing assessment?

If your goal is to recover from burnout, reduce stress, improve sleep, or enhance your physical capabilities, optimising your breathing is the most powerful tool. This assessment is ideal for:

• Burnout sufferers & high-achievers: To reset the constantly-activated sympathetic nervous system, reduce emotional exhaustion, and decrease physiological stress markers like cortisol.

• Chronic stress & anxiety sufferers: To shift the nervous system away from the 'fight or flight' response.

• Athletes & fitness enthusiasts: To improve core strength, increase oxygenation, enhance recovery, and delay fatigue.

• Individuals with sleep issues: To promote nasal breathing and calm the nervous system before and during sleep.

• Parents & caregivers: To gain tools for managing their own stress and helping their families.

• Anyone seeking optimal health: For those who understand that healthy breathing is the cornerstone of wellness.
