Welcome to our website. Our Disclaimer contains important information we need to share with you and for you to understand. Please be advised of the following. The information contained on this website and accompanying blog (collectively “website”), including ideas, suggestions, methods, techniques, and other materials, is educational in nature and is provided only as general information and is not medical or psychological advice. Transmission of the information on this website is not intended to create, and receipt does not constitute, a client-practitioner or any other type of professional relationship between the visitor and Lisa Bowen or any other educators offering their services through Breathing Retraining Center, LLC and should not be relied upon as medical, psychological, coaching, or other professional advice of any kind or nature.
You understand by viewing this website you will be introduced to a breathing-retraining technique identified as the Buteyko Breathing Technique (“Buteyko”). It was developed in Russia in the 1950's by a Ukrainian doctor named Konstantin Buteyko, from whom the technique gets its name. Buteyko is designed to help people with disordered breathing patterns such as panic breathing, mouth breathing, or dry coughing to retrain themselves to use a normal breathing pattern. The premise of Buteyko is that it addresses the underlying condition of over-breathing, which is believed to be a cause of illnesses such as asthma, colds, and allergies. The technique focuses on relaxed, nasal, diaphragmatic breathing, with breath-holding and progressive breathlessness-resilience exercises. The aim of Buteyko is to give people a self-help option for managing their condition so that they feel healthier and experience fewer symptoms. Although Buteyko appears to have promising health benefits, it has yet to be fully researched by the Western academic, psychological, and medical communities and therefore, is considered experimental. Buteyko is self-regulated and the State of California does not license any practitioners or teachers of Buteyko and considers Buteyko to be alternative or complementary to the healing arts that are licensed by the State of California.
Lisa Bowen only offers her services as an unlicensed Buteyko educator and breathing coach, and as a California certified massage practitioner. She is not a physician or other licensed healing-arts practitioner and her services as a Buteyko educator and breathing coach are not licensed by the State of California. Under Sections 2053.5 and 2053.6 of California’s Business and Professions Code, Lisa Bowen and any other educators offering their services through Breathing Retraining Center LLC can offer you their services, subject to the requirements and restrictions that are described fully therein.
