— Kate, Primary School Teacher 5 ★
After just one class of performance breath with Sonia, my asthma is practically gone. Sonia explained the mechanisms behind asthma and gave me tips to settle attacks and I have not had to use my inhaler in two years! A game changer for my training and life. Thanks Sonia.
— Fran, Endurance Athlete & Fastest Woman to Run from Perth to Sydney 5 ★
Sonia showed me the importance of the breath for my performance. With just a simple tool she helped me cut my time by 15min on a 10km run when I was preparing to dribble from Gold Coast to Sydney. That got my attention!
