DOES YOUR CHILD MOUTH BREATHE?

Why Nasal Breathing Matters for Kids (and Parents Need to Know This!)

If you’re a parent, teacher, or work with young children in any way, this is really important!

Patrick McKeown’s book Buteyko Meets Dr Mew highlights something many dentists and even healthcare professionals overlook: the huge impact mouth breathing can have on a child’s development.

According to the journal General Dentist:

“The vast majority of healthcare professionals are unaware of the negative impact of upper airway obstruction (mouth breathing) on normal facial growth and physiological health.”

Here’s what can happen if mouth breathing goes untreated in children:
✅ Long, narrow faces
✅ Narrow mouths
✅ High palatal vaults
✅ Crooked teeth (malocclusion)
✅ Gummy smiles
✅ Poor sleep due to obstructed airways
✅ Increased risk of ADHD misdiagnosis

Lack of proper sleep can also affect growth, learning, and behaviour.

The good news?
If mouth breathing is treated early, these negative effects on facial and dental development, along with related health and social problems, can be prevented.

Early awareness = better health and happier kids!
Encourage nasal breathing from a young age...it’s a simple change with lifelong benefits.

I know it's a long one, but well worth reading!

Did you know our thoughts, attitudes and emotions emit energetic fields, creating field environments that affect our perspective, relationships and others’ environments?

The good news is we can positively change our individual and social field environments with attitudes of genuine love, appreciation, care and compassion, which moves us into coherence.

Coherence is a highly efficient state in which all of the body’s systems work together in harmony. Increasing personal coherence creates an alignment of mind, body, emotions and spirit through the power of the heart.

The field generated by the heart is called the electromagnetic field. It is the most powerful rhythmic energy field produced by the body as it becomes more organized during positive emotional – heart-coherent – states. So it’s within all of our power to create the field environment we desire.

Studies conducted in HMI’s laboratory have shown that the heart’s electromagnetic field can be detected by other individuals and can produce measurable effects in a person several feet away.

✨️Set your Intention

In any situation, whether you’re alone with your thoughts, at a family gathering or present with coworkers, you may wish to say this to yourself: My intention is to feed the field environment with sincere love, care, compassion and appreciation.

✨️Prep Your Field Environment

Here is an effective way to begin your day and help create a more pleasant field environment. Before meetings, interactions or communications with others, try this simple technique. It will help smooth out your day and reduce stress build‑up.

✨️Prep Tool

• Take a few minutes to quiet yourself and become centered in your heart.
• See and feel yourself maintaining balance in your meetings, communications and interactions with people.
• Ask your heart intelligence to cue you up if you start slipping into judgments, excessive drama or resignation. If you do, see yourself shifting back into your heart and reset, taking care not to judge yourself.
• Send love and positive energy to all your possible interactions before going to them. Remember, even when you prep, they still may go sideways because of others’ attitudes. You still should continue to send out positive energy, because it will benefit your system and increase the ratio of positive outcomes in situations.

💥Let’s join together and ‘feed the field’ to help bring about individual and social change while creating the field environment we desire.💥

💗 Mums, did you know your heartbeat can help your baby’s?

When you practise slow, calm breathing while cuddling your baby, your heart rhythm steadies, and so does your baby’s! 🫶

This beautiful connection helps your baby feel safe, calm, and supported from the inside out.

👶 Babies 6–8 months respond quickly
👶 Babies 3–5 months catch up just after

Try this: Place your baby on your chest, breathe in for 5 and out for 5, and feel the magic happen. ✨

Anxiety doesn’t change the outcome, it only drains your energy.
Alan Watts said it best: "No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen."

And yet, how often do we spiral into the ‘what ifs’?

💓 HeartMath teaches us that when we shift into heart coherence, we activate the part of the nervous system that promotes clarity, calm, and resilience.

🌬️ SOMA Breath helps us use the breath to rewire our emotional state, quiet the mind, and return to the present moment, where peace lives.

✨ The truth is: we can’t control everything.
But we can control how we breathe, how we feel, and how we show up in each moment.

Breathe. Drop into your heart. You’ve got this. ❣️

When we’re in heart-based interactions, our brains release feel-good chemicals that have beneficial effects on our entire system.

Social and emotional wellness involves fostering positive connections with family, friends, co-workers, and even people we meet in daily life, at the store checkout counter, the bank, the delivery person, etc. Studies show that people who have strong heart connections and friendships tend to have a greater sense of security, increased feelings of joy, and more satisfaction with life in general.

Did you know that humming can boost your immune system, calm your nerves, and even improve your brain function?

It’s not just a sound, it’s a powerful healing tool.
When you hum, you produce more nitric oxide (15x more!), activate your vagus nerve, and drop into a deeply relaxed state.

I use it in my breathwork sessions all the time. Simple, soothing, and seriously effective.

Mindset is everything.
Start with the mind and the rest will follow. ✨️

You can exercise every day, eat all the right foods, do your breathwork, meditate, have all the treatments under the sun.

But, real transformation starts with what you believe is possible for you.
Your body listens, then your energy responds, then your life reflects it.

So yes, move your body. Breathe deeply. Embrace all the good stuff!
But don’t forget to upgrade your inner dialogue too. That’s where the magic really begins! ✨️

Feeling frazzled, scattered or just not quite here?
That’s your sign to GROUND. 🌿

Grounding isn’t just walking barefoot on grass (though that’s lovely) It’s about coming back to your body, your breath, your now.

When you’re grounded, you feel
🌀 Safe
🌀 Present
🌀 Connected to something deeper than the noise of the mind

How to ground (even if you’re inside):
🌱 Take three slow, deep breaths
🌱 Feel your feet heavy on the floor
🌱 Imagine roots growing from your soles deep into the earth
🌱 Say: “I am safe. I am supported. I am home.”

Or simply lie down, place one hand on your chest and one on your belly, and breathe yourself back into yourself.

Grounding is medicine.
Nature is medicine.
Your breath is medicine.

Let the earth hold you. You don’t have to do it all alone. ✨️

The Power of a Morning Routine

✨️There’s something magical about starting your day with intention. Before the world wakes up, you get to connect to you.

My morning routine has become my anchor:

🧘‍♀️ Meditation.
Clears the mental clutter

🌬️ Breathwork.
Energises my body and. balances my nervous system.

🖊️ Gratitude journaling.
Shifts my mindset to. appreciation.

🚿 Cold shower.
Sharpens focus and builds resilience.

Strengthens discipline and supports my health.

Please dont feel these practices are about perfection. They're about showing up, creating space, and choosing how you enter your day.

What would shift for you if you gave yourself this gift every morning? 🤔💥

How you see yourself shapes everything.
Not just how you look, but how you feel, how you show up, and what you believe you’re capable of.

Start by asking:
✨ Who do I want to become?
✨ What does that version of me think, feel, and do?
✨ How do they walk, speak, and live? Really see it in your mind.

Now write it down. As if it’s already true.. in minute detail. Where are you living? What's your house like? Visualise it.. FEEL it. Do this for all areas of your life.

Speak it out loud every day.
Feel it in your body.

This is how you begin to rewire your self-image and step into the version of you that’s waiting.

Cards done! 💥

Helping clients create taglines...

I sat down with a client to help them create a tagline and make some business cards.

It was super productive!

I believe a tagline should talk about outcomes.
We did all of that in just 1 hour and 15 minutes.

During the first 45 minutes, we ran ideas through Chat GPT. It gave us a few good options but we knew they weren't perfect...some of them were downright awful.

We had to be specific about what we liked and what we didn’t. We narrowed it down to a few front runners, gave some honourable mentions and agreed on the final option.

We started off with "The answer is in the breath." It sounded nice but it was vague.

We finished with "It's About Breathing Better." Simple, clear and focused on the outcome.
