Dr Alison Holden
B App Sc (Chiropractic)

added a Breathing Focus to her practice in the early 2000’s when she first became aware of the link between body posture, breathing habits and facial growth. Since then other pieces have been added to the puzzle, leading to further study into sleep at all ages and stages, the voice, the jaw, tongue ties, the effect of birth trauma, concussions, traumatic head injuries, and the benefits of baby massage for the whole family.

Alison has a holistic approach to health and achieves great results using a variety of techniques. Along with gentle manipulation of the spine and cranial bones, these include Kinesiology, Chirodontics, Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT), Neuro Emotional Technique (NET), Nasal Release Technique (NRT) and Orofacial Myology (OM) and massage techniques for voice and swallowing issues.

As a part of her breathing focus, she has completed breathing courses in both the US and Australia and works on the mechanics and physiology associated with breathing issues in both children and adults.  Becoming a Hypopressives Breathing Trainer in 2025 has allowed her to add working on reflexive breathing atterns and pressure dynamics to the mix.

She has presented at seminars, for dentists in both Europe and in Australia, has appeared on podcasts and has given webinars on various topics including Breathing, Concussion, and Posture. She is available to speak to groups.

There is nothing Alison enjoys more than helping a child breathe well, sleep well, grow well and be well.
