Gratitudes
Thank you for a great class - I thoroughly enjoyed it. I learned a wealth of information that I am putting into practice already.

Thank you dear Dorisse for your time and your wisdom. Your words are a pearl in the string of understanding I am building from people who love me. Thanks, thanks, thanks.

I would like to express my gratitude for your session with me; it has completely changed my life. I practiced the breathing exercises two to three times daily and also walked most days while practicing minimum breathing.

Also my blocked sinuses opened in just a short time, feelings of fatigue began to lessen and my energy level went up quite a bit. Diaphragmatic breathing seemed foreign to me for the first month and I felt a bit breathless when speaking for any length of time. However, slowly all this began to change and this correct way to breathe began to feel natural and wonderful.

After only the first three days I found that I could walk without suffering stiffness afterward which was new to me. I suppose all this occurred due to a higher percentage of oxygen to my cells due to the increase of carbon dioxide. I decided to try doing some physical exercises and some light weight lifting and found the same results.

It has not been easy but oh is it worthwhile! Buteyko saved me from a fate of slow strangulation. I will be forever indebted to Buteyko and all his followers who have preceeded me in this miraculous yet simple method of treatment.It is very important to do breathing exercises daily; it is important to breath through nostrils only - no mouth breathing. In 8 months of doing Buteyko I feel better than I have felt in 5 years. I no longer have any problem sleeping; my nostrils are clear, no coughing. I have lost weight. You are about to be astonished at what Buteyko offers!

I began working with Dorisse in 2023, after I had my upper left lung lobe removed due to cancer. Dorisse taught me how to breathe properly and patiently walked me through breathing exercises to improve my lung capacity. Now I can play competitive pickleball 4 times a week at 73 years old! Dorisse is more than a breathing coach. She helped me through many medical issues, drawing on her extensive nursing experience. She is one in a million!
