About Beth...
Meet Beth, Founder of Vida Breathworks
I’m Beth, and I know from personal and professional experience, that how well you breathe is the foundation of how well you live.
My journey into functional breathing began 11 years ago when I witnessed something that changed my entire perspective on health. I saw individuals with severe respiratory challenges experience such profound shifts in their breathing that they were able to significantly reduce their reliance on medication. At that moment, I knew I had found a "missing link" in my work as a Naturopath, Medical Herbalist, and Holistic Nutritionist.
I’ve spent over a decade helping clients address complex health concerns through my sister organization, Vida Naturopathics, and I know with confidence you cannot truly restore health & wellbeing, if the nervous system is stuck in a state of survival mode.
To ensure a truly holistic approach, and bring the best possible results to my clients, I studied with two of the world’s foremost experts: Patrick McKeown, a leading global authority on breathing, and Mim Beim, one of Australia’s most respected breathing and naturopathic educators.
Today, as an Internationally Accredited Buteyko Breathing Method Practitioner and Advanced Oxygen Advantage Instructor, I combine clinical science with a holistic naturopathic lens. My mission is to help you move past dysfunctional patterns, address the underlying root cause of your symptoms, and rediscover the vitality that comes when your body finally remembers how to breathe properly.

Proven, Science-Based Methodology
At Vida Breathworks, I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" approach to breathing. Because your health history, current symptoms, and lifestyle are unique, your program must be, too.
My work integrates two of the world’s most respected, science-based methodologies:
Buteyko Breathing Method and the Oxygen Advantage®.
The Right Tool for the Right Moment
While these methods are distinct, they are incredibly complementary. I utilize them as a complete "toolkit" to meet you exactly where you are:
- Restoring Health (The Buteyko Lens): This is often our starting point if you are struggling with moderate to severe symptoms like chronic anxiety, asthma, poor sleep, or digestive issues. The focus here is on reversing "over-breathing" (chronic hyperventilation) and retraining your body to find its natural, calm baseline.
- Optimizing Performance (The Oxygen Advantage Lens): Once your breathing is functional; or if you are already in good health, we shift the focus toward maximizing your potential. This involves advanced techniques to improve oxygen utilization, boost energy, and enhance both mental and physical resilience.
A Personalized Path to Success
It is never a choice between one method or the other. Your consultations will always be a bespoke combination of these techniques based on what your body needs in the moment.
As your breathing improves and your symptoms resolve, your recommendations will evolve with you. This ensures you are always practicing at the level that provides the most profound benefits for your health, your goals, and your life.
