I am one of the original Buteyko Breathing Educators in the US beginning in 1995 trained by and assisting Alexander Stalmatski who trained everyone outside of Russia until 2000. I was re-certified by Russell and Jennifer Stark, two of the most experienced and most highly respected Buteyko practitioner/trainers in the world in 2008. I have assisted the Starks in the training of other Buteyko Educators beginning also in 2008. In addition to having appeared on radio and TV in the New York and surrounding areas I have successfully helped hundreds to recover their health ending or significantly reducing asthma, Apnea, COPD, Panic attacks, high blood pressure, attentional issues and much more reducing or eliminating the need for medications and various breathing devices. I am one of the principal organizers of the newly established Buteyko Breathing Educators Association of North America whose second annual conference is in Portland Oregon at the National College of Natural Medicine October 6-10, 2010. I was nominated by my international peers for consideration for the Buteyko Hall of fame for my ongoing efforts since 1995 in bringing awareness to the public of the work of Professor Konstantin, P. Buteyko.
In addition to over 50 years of work with children and families having among other positions been the chief pediatric social worker at one major NY area hospital and chief psychiatric Social worker on an elective psychiatric ward at another, I have also headed up and been an innovator at one of the largest Municipal programs for the developmentally challenged.

Since my retirement, I have been working as a consultant to private and public schools, agencies, and families.
