HOW THE HEALTHY BREATHING PROGRAM WORKS

Welcome to The Center for Airway and Facial Development’s, Healthy Breathing Program!

Through a structured regimen of education and retraining, our Healthy Breathing Program uses breath retention exercises to regulate the speed and volume of your breath. By cultivating proper breathing techniques and improving the airway’s efficiency, patients can effectively address common respiratory issues like wheezing, coughing, and breathlessness. Furthermore, they gain valuable tools to manage conditions such as asthma, anxiety, and sleep related concerns.

Buteyko Breathing follows these simple methods:

Re-training your body to breathe functionally in and out through the nose. The breath is light, regular, effortless with the primary movement from the diaphragm.

Progress is determined by a special breath hold test called the Control Pause.

Expected benefits include easier breathing, deeper sleep, more energy, reduced asthma and nasal congestion along with increased feeling of calm.

Simple Buteyko exercises are taught to people of all ages and are meant to decongest the nose, switch to nasal breathing along with exercises to restore functional breathing patterns.

Our Team

Lauren Reinholt – RDH, OMT, QOM

Newark, DE Office

Lauren has been in the dental field for over 15 years and has spent the majority of her career as a Registered Dental Hygienist. As a hygienist she found that building a rapport with children and parents was her biggest strength. She truly enjoyed having an impact on their dental health but wanted to offer a comprehensive total health approach to her patients. Her passion for Health and Wellness led Lauren to further her education in learning the correlation between proper growth and development and the impact it has on total health. It’s used to manage and improve a variety of conditions, including asthma, anxiety, and sleep concerns.

This treatment approach allows her to help patients reach their full genetic potential and prevent a lifetime of problems that would otherwise not have been addressed in our current medical model of healthcare.

Lauren is also Butekyo Breathing certified which emphasizes nasal breathing, breathing awareness, relaxation, and diaphragmatic breathing. This therapy coupled with myofunctional therapy is what makes Lauren unique and allows her to treat everyone, from the smallest of patients all the way throughout life.

After attending a course in Myofunctional Therapy, Lauren realized this was the missing link that would allow her to take her career to the next level. Utilizing this exercised based therapy, she teaches her patients awareness of proper tongue placement, nasal breathing, and correct chewing and swallowing patterns. This treatment approach allows her to help patients reach their full genetic potential and prevent a lifetime of problems that would otherwise not have been addressed in our current medical model of healthcare.
