"Every client with sleep apnea has individual therapy needs. It is incredibly rewarding to work closely with clients, physicians and other healthcare providers to help clients achieve consistent usage and health benefits from the CPAP or BiPAP therapy their physician has prescribed. There are brilliant advances in diagnosis of sleep disordered breathing and also by the makers of CPAP masks and machines, providing a remarkable potential to help more people find comfortable and highly effective sleep apnea therapy.
When we sleep and breathe better, our overall health is better and we find the energy to lead healthier, happier, more creative and productive lives."
