How our service works

  • Referral or enquiry. You can be referred by ACC, your GP or self-refer as a private client.
  • Assessment. We’ll carry out an initial comprehensive respiratory assessment, in your home or online.
  • Personalised plan. We design a plan that matches your goals, condition and lifestyle.
  • Ongoing support.  We deliver one-on-one sessions, education and progress reviews, adjusting your plan as needed.

Early respiratory assessment is key to identifying risks and improving breathing function. Our team uses proven tools to monitor progress and adjust care plans for lasting results.
