Asthma coaching gave me tools and strategies to help me manage my health. I was given suggestions on how to remember to take my medication. I was educated about what signs I need to look for to identify an asthma attack. I am better prepared to ask the right questions when I go to the pulmonologist.“It really empowered me to take more control of my health.”

I was dealing with asthma symptoms as they would occur. I would let myself wheeze, not knowing how dangerous that was. Asthma coaching gave me the knowledge and confidence to control my asthma. I knew I had to be more active in my treatment and ask more direct questions to my doctor. Asthma coaching saved my life!”

I am doing alright – l might say very well. The sessions we did help, and I have been applying everything we talked about in my daily life, and I can say there is a lot of improvement. My doctor is still surprised to date with how fast I turned around. I have gone for 4 months without needing my rescue inhaler, no symptoms and I can work out freely. This is the best program I’ve been part of and thanks a lot for the opportunity.”
