PROFESSIONAL & PRACTITIONER RESOURCES

Following a career in environmental law Tina became a certified Yoga Teacher with an avid interest in the science of breathing leading her to combine post-graduate university studies in respiratory science with extensive training in breathing retraining modalities culminating in the Integrative Breathing Therapy Practitioner training with Dr Rosalba Courtney in 2023.

Tina is a Fellow of Buteyko Professionals International (FBPI) and Certified Breathing Behavior Analyst through the Professional School of Behavioral Health Sciences (USA), with pulmonary rehabilitation training through the Lung Foundation Australia, as well as orofacial myology training with the Coulson Institute of Orofacial Myology, and professional counselling training through the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. Tina is a member of the Thoracic Society of Australia & New Zealand (TSANZ).

In 2017 Tina established The Breathing Clinic & Wellness Centre in north Queensland (Australia) and works principally with clients online through the delivery of private consultations, seminars, and breathing retraining programmes to reduce breathing-related symptoms and support improved quality of life, as well as programmes to help children discontinue non-nutritive sucking habits such as prolonged dummy, thumb and tongue sucking. With a commitment to evidence-based research and a client-centred approach to breathing retraining and orofacial programmes, Tina enjoys working in alignment with other health care professionals to support integrated outcomes for her clients.
