Certified Buteyko Breathing Instructor
Korina was born in Milwaukee, WI, USA and lived in Wisconsin until 2022, when she moved to Salt Lake City, Utah. She became a Respiratory Therapist in 2004 and holds the Certification in Clinical Sleep Health.
She has worked in several hospitals and more recently in a pediatric sleep lab. Her favorite parts of these jobs have always been interacting with people and finding the right method to teach them. But it was often frustrating, as traditional therapies and medications often only offered treatments to address the symptoms instead of tackling the root cause.
Korina loves working with students of varied ages, from children to older adults. Her favorite thing about her job is when her students tell her of the symptoms that have improved since starting Buteyko practice! But she also loves teaching people this method, drawing on the empathy, critical thinking, and teaching skills she learned as a Respiratory Therapist to customize the Buteyko breathing method to each student. She also is very familiar with the complexity of chronic health problems.
Korina has dealt with lifelong asthma, as well has suffered from chronic Lyme Disease, fibromyalgia, and migraines. Since the Advanced Buteyko method significantly improved all of these challenges for her, she is excited to train others to improve their health by learning this method.
