Health consultations

Q&A

 

What is the difference between Health Consultations and Breath consultations? 

My health consultations focus on several key pieces of the life puzzle, because each individual needs wholeness to build good health and thrive in life. Nutrition, supplements, food intolerances or allergies, sleeping patterns, stress-management, recovery, physical exercise, daily habits, current life challenges, past traumas, meaningful relationships, feeling connection, purpose and mindset are examples of elements that all contribute to how we feel, and they all affect our health status. 

My functional breathing consultations focus solely on your breathing patterns, investigating root causes related to your dysfunctional breathing or health issues, and providing solutions and tools to improve your breathing habits. 
However, I might also plant some seeds in regard to potential other lifestyle areas that may be of benefit for you to look at on your journey to better health. 

​

What does a Health Consultation look like?

 

Your first session with me is 75-90 minutes. I will ask questions and listen to your story. As we say in the field of Functional Medicine: your personal Why.

My intention is to gain a deeper understanding of your background, current situation, symptoms and potential root causes
behind your health challenges, as well as identifying and tuning in with your individual needs. 

If you have booked a Breath coaching consultation, I will focus on investigating your breathing patterns.

​

On a Health Consultation session or longer health journey, you will receive concrete guidance, and a suggested food plan along with a lifestyle prescription involving all areas of life/health that you are open to investigate with me. I will offer support, tweaks, follow-up your development and if you are interested in learning a few breathing techniques that you can easily implement in your day-to-day life, I will implement that for you. 
 

If you have booked a Breath Consultation session, I will focus on creating a functional breathing protocol or breathwork plan, tailor-made for you. This may also involve some deeper work in terms of looking at past trauma and current triggers, but this is of course optional. Some guidance in regard to food and lifestyle is also included. 

​

Follow-up consultations are 30-50 minutes depending on your situation, chosen journey package and needs. 

 

How do I prepare for my first Consultation? 

 

When you have booked your first consultation with me, I will email a health screening questionnaire for you to fill in and
return to me 2 days prior to our first meeting. If you have recently taken a blood panel or other tests, please also send me those before we meet, so I can get a deeper insight into your current situation and health status.

​

How do I know if I need Breath coaching? 

 

I offer functional breathing consultations for anyone curious to explore and improve their breathing patterns, or those struggling with breathlessness, anxiety, poor sleep, mood disorders, overweight or chronic stress, respiratory issues such as Post-COVID Conditions (PCC), Long COVID, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, asthma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders. 

 

I investigate the potential root causes for dysfunctional breathing or poor health, screen your breathing patterns and guide you to better breathing techniques. These aim to reverse or eliminate your symptoms, improve your red blood count status, balance your gas exchange and reduce inflammation which is often key when dealing with chronic health issues of any kind.

 

You will receive hands-on tips and tricks to keep you pulmonary fit and your nervous system in balance, and together we will create a plan for your recovery, tailor-made for you.

​

Why is functional breathing important?

Most people today have dysfunctional breathing patterns. This is a key factor behind health problems such as depression, anxiety, panic attacks, chronically high stress levels, sleep apnea and mood disorders, asthma, breathlessness, COPD, weight gain and impaired metabolism, migraines, low energy levels, sugar or food cravings, inflammation, hormonal imbalances and loss of red blood cells.

 

Simply put, your health depends upon the quality of your breath. How we breathe affects everything we do and feel.
Practising breathwork results in medically beneficial effects, and makes it possible to reverse or become free from many illnesses and chronic health conditions.
