Is your breathing functional?
Functional Breathing Therapy
Buteyko & Oxygen Advantage Certified
Discover the Missing Piece in Your Wellbeing
Do you ever feel like your breathing just isn’t quite right—tight, shallow, or stuck—but you’ve never been given the tools to understand or change it?
Many of the people I work with come to me after months (or years) of trying to get help through conventional channels. They’re told everything looks “normal,” yet they’re still dealing with symptoms like:
Breathlessness, even at rest or with light activity
Anxiety or panic sensations tied to breathing
Snoring, disrupted sleep, or fatigue
Brain fog, low energy, or frequent sighing/yawning
A sense of being “stuck” in the breath or body
Functional Breathing Therapy addresses the root patterns of dysfunctional breathing—something often overlooked in mainstream care.
What to Expect
As a certified Buteyko and Oxygen Advantage instructor, I offer personalised guidance to help you:
Understand how your breathing affects your body and mind
Learn evidence-based techniques to restore natural breathing patterns
Improve oxygen efficiency, energy levels, and nervous system regulation
Reduce symptoms linked to chronic stress, poor sleep, or over-breathing
Build awareness, confidence, and resilience in your breath and body
All sessions are tailored to your needs—whether you're dealing with specific symptoms, recovering from illness, or simply know something feels “off” and want to explore a new approach.
Who I Work With
I work with a wide range of people, including those experiencing:
Unexplained breathlessness or chronic hyperventilation
Sleep-disordered breathing (e.g., snoring, apnea)
Long COVID or post-viral fatigue
Anxiety, stress, or nervous system dysregulation
Asthma, allergies, or respiratory issues
A desire to improve athletic performance or recovery
You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit—just a willingness to explore and learn.
Ready to Breathe Better?
If you’re feeling overlooked by conventional care or unsure where to begin, Functional Breathing Therapy can help you reconnect with one of the most powerful tools you already have—your breath.

How I can help - 1:1 Breath Training
Over a course of 1:1 sessions I can assess your current level of functional breathing and through simple and scientifically based practices, help you to retrain your breathing patterns for optimal health and performance. Whether your are looking for a tool to better manage stress and anxiety or want to improve your sports performance and recovery - learning to utilise the breathe is essential.
A minimum of 3 sessions is required to ensure we can cover the science of breathing and for you to have time practice and to see and feel the benefits (as well as time to adjust and adapt the breath practice accordingly). Depending on your needs we add more sessions as we go but my goal is to educate you in these 3 sessions so you no longer need me.
Session Pricing:
Free 15 minute phone consultation
Initial consultation - £65
Ongoing 1:1 sessions - £55 (minimum 3 session including initial consultation required)

Breathing Testimonials
Maxine
My husband picked up a business card and thought that I may benefit from some supervised breathing exercises. I have Atrial Fibrillation and sometimes struggle to get my breath when under stress or increase in exertion. I made an appointment and Becky quickly made me feel at ease. I had a 3 session course, with homework!
I now have tools to increase my quality of life and I continue to improve. I would recommend Becky to anybody with breathing problems.
Nick
I practice yoga at Thrive and have also worked with Rebecca 1:1 on functional breathing. Her approach is compassionate, supportive and holistic. She has a deep understanding of the mind-body connection, physiology and yoga tradition.
Due to long-term illness, I was very nervous about engaging in any physical activity again before coming to Thrive but Rebecca was so generous speaking to me over email before I came to the studio and reassuring me that we can go at the pace I need to, and also demonstrating her understanding of my conditions and making suggestions about what might work, but also making space for me to say 'no', or also to say 'yes!' sometimes to something more challenging.
Rebecca trusts me to know my own body wisdom and supports me to tune into it. Practicing with Rebecca has been completely transformative for me in so many ways at a really complicated time in my life.
Beth
I worked with Rebecca on my functional breathing. I hold my hands up, my breathing efficiency and style has been poor! Until now! After 2 sessions with Rebecca I've learnt how to use the diaphragm and rib cage better, and to actually control my breathing patterns and lengths, instead of it getting out of hand by itself incorrectly!
.
The idea is to practice, practice, practice better breath work, to build up to naturally breathing better and more efficiently to improve better body and brain functionality and ultimately improve performance.
.
Rebecca is an amazingly inspirational lady whom you will feel comfortable with and learn from and improve with!
Liz
I came to Rebecca curious about how improving my breathing could help with managing my anxiety and difficulty sleeping.
The breathing techniques she taught me have drastically helped both. I learnt what it felt like to breathe properly, through my nose and saw the benefits myself when I practiced it in my everyday life. I have been amazed at how effective they are.
As for my anxiety, I found that through the breathing techniques I was able to gain control and bring myself back to calm much more easily and it has become a normal practice for me to turn to when I am struggling.
Lindsey
I came to Rebecca to learn more about breathing and how I could train myself to control it better whilst presenting at work, but also to improve my overall health and well-being.
From the second I walked in to the studio I felt completely at ease. Rebecca really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and after my first class I began to see a difference.
A gorgeous place to work on yourself,
and Rebecca is warm and knowledgable. I would recommend 100%.
Jill
I found Rebecca by chance having seen an advert for breath coaching. I had been searching for a coach locally for some time since suffering from a lengthy episode of Anxiety and Depression.
I knew I had to find tools within myself to aid my recovery but needed someone to guide me.
Rebecca has been a wonderful and supportive breath coach and yoga teacher. She was so approachable and non judgmental and gave me real hope that I could take control of my recovery. I had 3 breath coaching sessions where I learnt the basics and with home practice I have made real progress. I can't thank or recommend Rebecca highly enough.
