“I have been attending the clinic for some years now and can highly recommend Windhorse. Carey and Adrienne are so capable and sincere. I have acupuncture sessions and have done the wonderful and effective Buteyko course. The clinic is set in a beautiful bush setting, overlooking a large pond, contributing to a perfect healing environment.” – Sandra Sharpe
“Carey and Adrienne are lovely, warm and make you feel at ease as soon as you arrive. Their Buteyko course is incredible and has given me more energy and helped my son’s asthma, I cannot recommend it enough. Carey and Adrienne are very generous with their time and assistance, helping if you have any issues or questions. Their meditation group is so relaxing and peaceful and their studio space in Eudlo is the perfect environment for relaxation and rejuvenation.” – Cara Loconte
“For me the Buteyko course was transformative on two levels. One was on a physiological level in that it taught me how to breathe properly, resulting in the start of the journey towards better overall body function and sleep. The second was on an emotional level where I experienced first-hand in my daily life how correct breathing helped shield against unnecessary fight/flight adrenaline response to stress, as well helping to reduce stress when it happens. For someone who has experienced life-long chronic stress, this was quite a revelation. The course is a good mix of information and practical exercises, and Adrienne and Carey are supportive and encouraging.” – Jo Davis
“In 2004, a work colleague at Qantas who had severe asthma from early childhood, told me how he can now climb 50 stairs with no problem after taking a Buteyko course. I’ve never forgotten that unique name, Buteyko, and his success story. 19 years later, when my acupuncturist, Carey Idle, held a Buteyko course with his partner Adrienne Strong, I jumped on it. Life is so different now. Acupuncture and PEMF fortnightly sessions with Carey and a new way of breathing, Buteyko breathing, has had a positive effect on my health. Acupuncture and PEMF has reduced my pain and the adoption of a new way of breathing keeps me calm. My thinking is clearer since the course, all I have to do is a 30 second breathing exercise called Steps to make feelings of frustration and irritation disappear. It’s like I’m stronger, more apt to walk and stand with good posture. Gone are those pesky little coughs I used to have throughout the day, deep is my sleep, and smooth is my swimming without exercise induced asthma. No more puffer.
Carey and Adrienne made the course fun. Those 2 hours on 4 Saturdays went by so quickly. They taught us about how energy builds up in the body, the effects of adrenaline, how to increase oxygen in the tissues, how the parasympathetic nervous system is effected by breath, and how breath effects the function of the smooth muscles of the respiratory tract, blood vessels, and digestive system. Let me tell you, it was a full course and so easy to understand. We were given really good slides, Patrick McKeown’s book, and our own bedside roll of tape. If you take the course, you’ll know what I mean.” – Marsha McGuire
“I had been considering a Breathing Course for some time but not actually done anything about it. I suffer from exercise induced Asthma particularly while walking uphill. The Buteyko Course was a great benefit to me. It increased my confidence in my breathing ability in challenging situations. Adrienne and Carey at Windhorse Clinic are excellent Facilitators. Encouraging with realistic expectations of what can be achieved while we are all busy with Life. Thoroughly recommended. A great opportunity for me. Thanks.” – Heather Thomas
