My Story
My name is Kamila. I was born in Poland, now I live in the United States (NJ).
In my early twenties I recall episodes of breath shortage that made me feel like I was going to pass out. Tons of doctors and tests with the final diagnosis - “it’s just stress”.
While this was relieving, the problem was that nobody told me what to do, except handing in a prescription for a calming medication, which in turn was making me feel tired and lousy.
Fast forward 15 years, after my father’s passing and having to deal with a broken marriage while raising a small human, the symptoms returned with a triple force...
The panic attacks happened almost daily, the feeling of anxiety persisted 24/7. I started psychotherapy, but having the consultation once a week, I needed something that could help me cope with the symptoms on a daily basis.
That’s when I discovered the breathwork!
The breathing exercises allowed me to fall asleep and the concentration on my breath throughout the day took the attention away from the psychosomatic symptoms and allowed my body to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and finally relax.
I decided to become a breath coach because based on my own experience, I can be the best testimony, that there is a way, most importantly a natural way, to find a better state of health.
Love,
Kamila
Why mouth breathing is bad for you?
- activates the sympatethic nervous system and fight or flight response = stress
- makes you breathe faster = stress
- reduces blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain = stress and anxiety
- causes orthodontic and teeth issues
- air does not get filtrated, moisturized and warmed up = respiratory conditions
- let’s be honest, nobody looks “too smart” with the mounth wide open...
Why is breathing through the nose the way to go?
- activates the para-sympatethic nervous system and rest and digest response = relaxation
- makes you breathe slower = relaxation
- improved blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain = focus and concentration
- promotes correct teeth alignment
- air gets filtrated, moisturized and warmed up = less respiratory conditions (thanks to the nitric oxide)
- increses oxygenation at cellular level = improved energy and metabolism
- engages the diaphragm = better digestion
