In 2008, Thomas was severely ill with asthma. Doctors told him that his crippling breathing difficulties were incurable, and that he would be on medication for the rest of his life. Upon discovering the Method, and applying the Buteyko Breathing Exercises, Thomas was able to cure his asthma and allergies. Here he shares the story of his recovery, which prompted him to co-found the Buteyko Center USA – in order to help others who are suffering. This video was shot in February, 2009. |

Client Testimonials |
I have been under the care of Thomas and Sasha Yakovlev-Fredricksen and their Staff Members at Buteyko Center USA for the past 8 weeks, I sought out their assistance because I was very concerned about my breathing. It didn't seem like anything I was doing was working properly. My breathing got worse and I worried more and more about it. I was diagnosed with COPD and placed on several forms of medication, all of them helped some. I was told by my General Practitioner, Cardiologist and Pulmonary Physicians to lose weight.
I quit smoking 5 years ago and gained about 10 extra pounds per year. My ability to exercise was becomming more and more restricted by these circumstances, even though I did continue to train and ride my bike. I tried several diets including Atkins and Weight Watchers, they helped me to stop my weight from increasing but I was not losing as much as I needed to. My daughter told me about a program her stepfather was on that had helped him with asthma. I talked to him, reached Buteyko Center USA and here I am! |
My breathing is much better, it gets better every day, I am on a very aggressive exercise program including weight training, walking, stretching and bike riding. I do my personalized Buteyko Breathing Program as instructed everyday, I get the message and I follow the dietary guidelines. I have lost 18 pounds and will lose another 30 during the next six months. I am no longer afraid. This is working and it will continue to work, I clearly have a new lease on life. THE BUTEYKO METHOD WORKS IF YOU WORK FOR IT!!!!!!!

Thomas was born and raised in Central Pennsylvania. For his undergraduate studies, he attended Messiah College, a Christian school in Grantham. In the late 1980s, Thomas became a General Partner in the Counseling Center of Central Pennsylvania. Together with Dr. Edward Crill, he wrote the anxiety-phobia treatment manual, Overcoming Fears, which was used by the Center for therapy groups. In 1991, he received a Master's of Science in Counseling Psychology-Community Mental Health and a Certificate of Advanced Studies in Education in Counseling with Clinical Supervision degree from The Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD.
In 1993, Thomas moved to Maui, Hawaii, where he immersed himself into the study of alternative medicine — massage, raw food, rebirthing, Rolfing, Aurvedic medicine, acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine, Ashtanga yoga, and more. Thomas studied the Hawaiian Kahuna Teachings of Ho'oponopono. He was also fortunate to find his spiritual teacher there - the Venerable Lama Tenzin, who opened a source of inexhaustible wisdom for him, preserved by the Tibetan culture.
Under Lama's guidance, in 1993, Thomas took refuge and became a student of Tibetan Buddhism. Thomas spent 13 years in Hawaii, during which he also maintained his private practice as a psychologist.
Despite his healthy lifestyle, in 2008, Thomas became severely asthmatic. |

After a very difficult battle with the disease, he successfully cured himself by applying the Buteyko Method under the supervision of Dr. L. Buteyko and Dr. A. Novozhilov. After his recovery, Thomas completed an intensive internship at Clinica Buteyko (Moscow) and received the degree of Advanced Buteyko Specialist.
Presently, he lives in Woodstock with his wife, Sasha. He teaches at Buteyko Center USA, where he also works as Director of Education. His life is dedicated to the improvement of people's health by teaching them about Dr. Buteyko's discoveries and his method. |
