\n\tButeyko Breathing Method Educator \/ Practitioner<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tTaught by Buteyko Works Practitioner Trainer Jennifer Stark, in the BIM as taught in Australian Medical Trials<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tAbout Melody<\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tMelody Mitchell has been involved in complementary health since 2005. She is South Africa's first Buteyko practitioner \/ educator to be trained in the specific Buteyko Breathing Method which was taught to patients in several medical trials both in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. Melody has long held a passion for empowering people to unlock their own healing potential. She teaches groups of people to reduce and overcome their asthma symptoms naturally.<\/span> <\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tAbout the Buteyko method<\/span><\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe Buteyko Breathing Method for Asthma, sleep apnoea and snoring is taught over 5 days in a “workshop” environment. Classes last approximately 1.5hrs and exercises are given for clients to continue at home. The course will teach you how to control, reduce and prevent asthma attacks, snoring and sleep apnoea using natural methods, and will help you to eventually reduce your reliance on medication. Trials have shown that regular use of the Buteyko Breathing Method has resulted in an average of 96% reduction in broncho-dilators (Ventolin), and a 49% reduction in steroid preventor use in asthmatics. Many sufferers have reported that they no longer require medication, and many have had no asthma attacks since integrating the Buteyko method into their lives.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tThe Buteyko Method is not a treatment or therapy or a substitute for any medical advice or treatment. Buteyko is an education programme that will provide you with the necessary tools to re-train your brain's respiratory centre, thereby alleviating and reducing attacks and reliance on medication. A Buteyko Educator is not involved with the management of your asthma, and will never advocate throwing away your asthma medication. The Buteyko Method is a complementary approach, working alongside conventional medicine. All advice is given with the understanding that you will follow up with your medical practitioner. The Buteyko Breathing Method should only be taught by a qualified practitioner who is trained to monitor your progress and adjust the exercises accordingly. <\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tCosts of tuition<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tA course of Buteyko costs R2500 for the full five days tuition. Should you ever wish to join another course at a later date after completing the full 5 days, it will be free.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\tA properly trained and qualified Buteyko Educator <\/span>always<\/span><\/em> offers a money-back guarantee. If you feel you have had absolutely no improvement after applying the method correctly after a set period of time.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n \n\t \n<\/p>\n \n\t\t \n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n\t\tMontagu workshops:<\/span><\/strong> <\/span><\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tThe "Freedom from Asthma" workshop in Montagu<\/strong> includes relaxed three-star self catering accommodation<\/strong> <\/strong>.

\n\n\n\t\tWorkshops:<\/span><\/strong><\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\tThe "Freedom from Asthma" Buteyko workshop<\/strong> teaches people how to control their asthma and allergies<\/strong> using the Buteyko method. Working in a very relaxed group setting we explore the reasoning and research into this logical method and learn various Buteyko exercises which will help to control asthma and reduce all allergies. This method has been proven to reduce symptoms by over 70% – regardless of triggers<\/strong> – and will also help sufferers reduce the need for medication<\/strong> within a few days.<\/span> <\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\tThe workshop over <\/strong>five consecutive days for 90 minutes per day<\/strong>.

The terms and conditions for refunds are laid out in the registration form and read as follows: “I understand that if I follow the Buteyko program diligently for eight weeks and contact my trainer to inform her of any problems as and when they arise, I will be refunded the course fee (less my deposit), should I not gain any benefit from this program”.<\/em><\/span>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t \n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t \n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t \n<\/div>\n\n\t \n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\tPrivate sessions<\/strong> are also available during these dates, they cost R500 each and need to be booked in advance.
