The Breathing PT

Kelly was lovely and very patient . She explained everything to my husband in simple steps. She explained and demonstrated all the exercises so that my husband would understand. He felt listened to and more confident in using a shaker machine. I would highly recommend the breathing PT. Kelly even offered follow up appointments and her response time was incredibly quick.

I went to see Kelly as I was struggling with my breathing after being given a diagnosis of bronchiectasis. I knew that in order to manage this condition I needed to learn how to clear my airways, but was very unclear on how to do this. Kelly was so supportive, so clear and so encouraging that, after only three sessions I felt confident enough to manage on my own. I would have no hesitation in recommending the Breathing PT. She is an absolute jewel.

I saw Kelly via Zoom in 2021 after struggling for 15 years with hyperventilation syndrome. I had previously seen several breathing specialists in Auckland and Melbourne (along with countless other medical professionals!) and they had not been able to help me. When I came across Kelly's Instagram account I was keen to book in some sessions, but also felt a little skeptical after years of spending money on specialists who couldn't help! However, after just one session I felt confident that Kelly would be able to help me to get on top of my breathing, and to my great relief she did! After years of battling with air hunger and tension, I can now breathe comfortably. My chest has actually changed shape quite noticeably as I'm no longer taking great big breaths into my chest. Before my sessions with Kelly, breathing diaphragmatically when standing or sitting down felt impossible, but now it is automatic! My breath-holds have also improved dramatically and this has had a huge impact on my swimming ability. I used Kelly's exercises alongside the Lightning Process which helped me to address some of the underlying issues with anxiety, and I found that the two approaches combined have had such a huge impact on my overall wellbeing. Every once in a while my breathing will feel a bit off again - but Kelly gave me a great set of resources to use, and so I've always been able to get myself back on track. Kelly is incredibly knowledgable and communicates in a very accessible and supportive way. She helped me to understand the physiology behind my breathing issue and what to expect as I started to put the exercises into practice. I found the overall process to be very manageable (although at times uncomfortable) and appreciated the clear outline that Kelly provided for treatment. Having the sessions via Zoom was absolutely fine - Kelly was able to detect subtle issues with my breathing that many in-person specialists had missed! I am so grateful and relieved that I found Kelly when I did, and recommend her wholeheartedly.

Without a doubt a 5-star service. After nearly a year of struggling with a breathing pattern disorder, finding Kelly was like a god-sent. She's been so supportive throughout the whole process and really went the extra mile to not only help my breathing but also signpost me to a brilliant SALT to help my voice which had been affected. Right from the first appointment it was clear she has a passion for what she does and truly cares about her clients, so you always feel like you're in safe hands. The difference in my breathing since I started seeing her is incredible and I will forever be grateful. If you are suffering from any kind of breathing issue, even long covid, don't hesitate to get in contact with her! Thanks Kelly :)

Kelly quickly diagnosed and successfully treated my breathing pattern disorder that resulted from covid. After I reset and calmed my breathing (mostly hyper ventilating) and calmed my central nervous system, the other symptoms of long covid faded away. Initially I was skeptical, but I 100% shouldn't have been - I now have my life back and can't thank Kelly enough. Plus she is a total joy to work with :)
