Buteyko of Georgia
Natural Health Improvement Center
The mission of Buteyko Center of Georgia is to make a substantial improvement on an individuals health and well being, through the application of The Buteyko Method, a remarkable discovery made by the late Russian Doctor, Konstantin Buteyko, in 1952. The Buteyko Method is a safe and effective, drug free, breathing technique that is clinically proven, worldwide, to improve health and breathing for individuals who suffer from asthma, sinus, allergy, anxiety, and other preventable diseases. By eliminating the main cause of the disease, hyperventilation, symptoms are reduced and for many, completely eliminated. The method is effective for adults and children. You may read more about the results experienced by students on the testimonial page. As The Buteyko Method has traditionally gained its reputation for its dramatic effect on asthma, the past 50 years has shown similar results for over 150 preventable diseases.
The center strives to provide each individual the care and support needed to overcome and manage a wide variety of conditions. Please be advised that we are not medical doctors, we are educators, teaching the application of the remarkable discoveries of Konstantin Buteyko, The Buteyko Method. We encourage all students to learn The Buteyko Method under the continued care of their primary physician. Additionally, we advise students to always continue medications as prescribed until they are instructed by their physician that it is appropriate to reduce or eliminate medication. |

As I look back over the past 12 months, I remember how desperate I was to find a solution to my asthma that did not involve more doctor visits, trips to the pharmacy, anxiety over breathing, a life filled with restrictions, and the negative effect on my family. It is amazing to see how different my life is today just 8 months after reaching Buteyko Center USA. Learning the Buteyko Method changed my life. Those words sound too powerful to use, but it's true. If I had not taken the steps to learning this method, my health would have continued to decline and I would be missing out on many moments with my children.
For anyone who has personally experienced asthma, or watched a child or family member suffer from it, you know the agony of feeling helpless and at the mercy of the disease and its wide array of medications.
You can feel fortunate to find this website and information about learning the Buteyko Method. There is help and HOPE here that will change your health in ways you never felt possible. I worked in the health and fitness industry for years and thought I knew how to achieve health, until the unthinkable happened. Once I developed asthma, I no longer had the answers. Breathing became the main focus. It wasn't just about eating right, having toned muscles and losing weight anymore. I kept hitting a dead end and experienced terrible side effects from strong medications. The Buteyko Method provided the answers and hope that this disease can be managed without the adverse effects on our health.
I am grateful for experiencing asthma because it enabled me to understand this disease and begin to reach out to change the lives of others. It has allowed me the opportunity to understand my own daughter's illness, Reactive Airway Disease, and help her to manage her condition, eliminating the need for emergency trips and medication. The peace of mind and sense of control are priceless. As a mother who has watched a child suffer from asthma, I became aware of how many other families were going through the same agony. |

| Rachel Clawson's Personal Recovery Story |
At 40 years old, I was diagnosed with asthma. My condition progressed from mild episodes of shortness of breath on the tennis court to persistent daily breathing problems that forced me to quit tennis and all forms of exercise. Just walking made me breathless and my chest tight. I literally had no life. I struggled to get the breath to read to my children. My condition actually seemed to get worse in spite of strong prescription medications like symbicort, zopanex and prednisone.
I went from an organic, healthy lifestyle to this awful world of asthma. I was even told to stay inside to avoid the humidity, which was a trigger. I didn't want to accept that this was going to be my condition for the rest of my life. I searched the internet regularly for answers. I found Buteyko Center USA and read the entire website. It sounded interesting and made sense to me.
Skeptical, but curious, I called and was fortunate to get Thomas on the phone. My life has been in a constant state of progress ever since. Within 2 1/2 weeks I was able to stop my rescue inhaler (I was taking at least 4-6 puffs per day at that time and taking symbicort).

 R. Clawson & Daughter, Olivia

| My chest tightness gradually subsided and I was able to stand up straight. My lung capacity continues to improve and I am exercising again and joining my family in their daily activities again. I am so grateful to Thomas and the Buteyko family for bringing this method to the USA. I am currently completing an internship to become a practitioner, along with my 7 year old daughter who has had breathing problems. We hope to bring this method to many others who desire a life free from asthma. Thank you for the much needed support during this time. I am looking forward to reaching my goal of being medication free. |

| Biography |
I am a 41 year old mother of two. I have a son Conner, 9, and Olivia, 8. Our family has traditionally been a very active one. My love for fitness related activities began when I was young. Although I received a Masters Degree in Business Administration, my passion has always been in the health and wellness field. After working six years in the banking industry, I eventually went back to my love and opened up a women's only health club and personal fitness training business. Until…..my first child arrived. Running a club was hard work with a child now in the mix.
We decided to sell the club and had our second child. I was now a stay at home mom.
Things were going great until Olivia was diagnosed with Reactive Airway Disease after becoming ill at 2 ½ months old. It was the most frightening experience. We were now equipped with all the medications and a nebulizer. This was my first experience with asthma. Then as I approached my 40th birthday, I too was diagnosed with asthma. Since this didn't run in my family before Olivia, I was shocked. I had been living a very active and healthy lifestyle. It didn't make sense. Our lives came to a screeching halt.
No more bike rides with the kids, no more tennis, and I had to limit the number of activities the kids participated in, due to my very low energy levels from the uncontrolled asthma. Fortunately, searching the internet proved to be beneficial in this case. I found Buteyko Center USA and the most promising solution for asthma.
As I began my training, learning the Buteyko Method, I had an immediate interest in teaching the method to others. I remember during one of my first sessions, my father saying to me that he too could see me teaching Buteyko. All I needed to find out is if it really worked. And, of course, it worked beyond my expectations.
The method seemed to compliment my life long interest in health and fitness. I would be helping others achieve health, but on a whole new level than before. It no longer would be focused on just having toned muscles, losing weight, and feeling more energetic. I was learning that health was affected on a much deeper level, our breathing. I never put a thought to our breathing and yet it held the key to achieving optimal health. Fix the breathing and the results in other areas will follow. I was intrigued by the fact that exercise, or movement, could play an important role in opening the airways. When I learned I had asthma, I had to stop exercising. Even the inhalers didn't provide enough relief to feel good during or after exercise.
Once I learned what a powerful tool exercise, or even simple movement, could have on opening up your airway, I was motivated. Movement became a good dose of healthy medicine. Buteyko In Motion was so powerful that I wanted to learn everything I could in hopes of training others. I can now help more people achieve a greater level of health, including those that have the hardest time exercising, asthmatics. This is a powerful tool for those that couldn't exercise due to their asthma.
My goal is pass on this method to make a positive impact in the lives of others. The greatest gift is to see a life change so dramatically from learning how to control breathing and regulate the lungs naturally.
