Kim Upton

Expertise Breath Coach Stress Managment

Kim uses Breath Coaching with the aim to redress the negative effects of our unconscious breathing habits by fusing newly available cutting edge Capnometry technology (only previously used in Accident and Emergency departments and ambulances) with the holistic practice of Buteyko. Through his experience as an Asthma sufferer and a Buteyko practitioner, Kim has found a way of treating common problems such as Asthma through the use of his techniques and without the need for stimulants found in products such as Ventolin.

Kim’s approach to his work has been an evolvement of his lifes experience. Ill health in his childhood and a seeking spirit to discover the underlying principles of a creative, balanced healthy life, has lead Kim to study acupuncture, shiatsu and practice Buddhism for over 17 years. Seven years ago his childhood asthma returned with avengence and in a quest to find the root cause, discovered The Buteyko Breathing Method. Learning how to restore a healthy breathing pattern has enabled Kim to be medication and asthma free for over 5 years.

Fascinated by the simplicity and astounding results of Buteyko’s approach to Asthma and other overbreathing disorders, Kim decided to train as a practitioner and now works full time running clinics and arranging seminars and courses on the method. His work provides people with an opportunity to thoroughly understand the connection between their stress-related symptoms, and their breathing pattern. The resulting awareness and practical hands-on solutions gives them confidence to take control of their condition.

“London living used to be my biggest trigger - the pollution, the manic pace of life and the constant stress of keeping up. Now I manage my body’s response to this hectic environment by keeping my breathing under control.” KIM UPTON
