Title: Are you Breathing Fresh? Coping With, and Prevention of, COPD

Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Smoking, environmental pollution, workplace hazards, and now COVID-19 can lead to chronic breathing difficulty. Whilst new medications are still being investigated, current medications for chronic breathing difficulty, such as COPD, have side effects that can limit quality of life. Limitations on quality of life in chronic illness can lead to increased psychological stress and therefore decreased quality of life.

Biography:

Suzanne Zacharia has her expertise in the conduction of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) practitioner sessions, and especially in chronic disease. Her own experience was in helping herself overcome the many challenges of COPD, which started at the tender age of 26 and led to a journey of complementary and alternative health, searching for a solution to fill the gaps in the medical treatments given. An online blog of EFT self-treatments attracts clients with respiratory and other chronic diseases, providing a wealth of experience and observations.
