She didn’t know why it happened when it did.
At the age of 42, Carol Baglia was a healthy and successful volunteer and entrepreneur. The only respiratory problems she’d ever experienced were occasional allergies. Now suddenly, she couldn’t breathe. The diagnosis? Asthma—the same disease that had led to the death of her grandmother at the age of 55.

Baglia didn’t waste any time; she got proactive about researching solutions. Eventually, she found relief in the form of a unique respiratory training program. “It was so life-changing that I wanted to tell people that there were other options to deal with dysfunctional breathing,” she said. “So in 2003 I founded Correct Breathing Concepts.”

The secret to her recovery was a breathing system called the Buteyko Method, which is designed to naturally improve respiratory diseases like asthma and nasal allergies. It's been proven effective by several clinical studies, and many former sufferers swear by it.

Correct Breathing Concepts holds both public and private workshops to teach the Buteyko Method. Baglia also offers products, including books and breathing accessories. “Clients respond very well to this. I have a lot of success stories,” she said. “Over time, I started gaining recognition and even doctors’ referrals.”

Her goal is to expand and reach more people. “Most people can’t pay out of pocket for health care, but they’re desperate to find someone to help them. Correct breathing can help because it doesn’t require prescriptions or lots of visits to the doctor.”
