Buteyko Breathing
Patrick McKeown (MA, Dip. Buteyko, FRSB) has dedicated more than 25 years to helping children and adults improve nasal and functional breathing, with a particular focus on sleep, respiratory health and well-being.
Patrick McKeown has worked with children and teenagers for more than 25 years, teaching simple breathing strategies to restore habitual nasal breathing, develop functional breathing patterns and improve sleep quality.
He is the author of eleven books on breathing, several of which have become bestsellers and have been published in more than 16 languages. His children’s book; The Magical Breathing Tree: The Buteyko Method for Children (first published in 2003, rewritten in 2026) - combines a colourful illustrated story with simple breathing exercises designed to help children breathe through the nose, relax and prepare for sleep.
Patrick is the founder of Oxygen Advantage and Buteyko Clinic and has trained more than 13,000 healthcare professionals across 90 countries.
He is also the creator of myoTape, developed to gently encourage safe lip closure and nasal breathing, particularly during rest and sleep.
His work with children and teenagers includes breathing strategies for nasal obstruction, asthma, overthinking, physical activity and sleep.
