"Thank you very much for selecting me for a scholarship for the BradCliff Online Course Level 2.
I am very happy and grateful for this opportunity.
As a physiotherapist working in Tokyo, Japan, my work includes outpatient treatment for people with musculoskeletal problems and conditioning support for elite athletes.
Level 2 will be a valuable opportunity to build on what I learned in Level 1 and to further develop my knowledge and skills.
At present, I support a female long-distance runner, and I am also planning to support a Paralympic swimmer.
I am therefore especially interested in learning more about breathing and sports performance in Level 2 and using what I learn to better support my patients and athletes.
Thank you again for this wonderful opportunity." - Koji Nakamaru, Japan
"I am incredibly grateful and honoured to receive this scholarship for BradCliff Level 2 Course. I currently serve the pulmonary rehabilitation clinic in an acute public hospital in Singapore, supporting a diverse population of patients with chronic lung diseases and other lung related conditions. As we are currently hoping to expand our services to identify and treat this group of patients with BrPD, I am excited to further develop my knowledge and clinical skills via BradCliff Level 2. I look forward to applying what I learn to better support my patients and contribute to building greater awareness and access to BrPD care." - Vivian Ong, Singapore
"It is a great honour and pleasure to receive this special scholarship, and I would like to send a heartfelt thank-you from the heart of Europe to the BradCliff team in New Zealand. I thoroughly enjoyed Level 1 and have already been able to apply much of what we learned and developed to my daily work as a respiratory physiotherapist. Breathing Pattern Disorders are an increasingly important field in Austria, where I work in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I primarily work with patients with Long COVID, ME/CFS, COPD, interstitial lung diseases, and those who have undergone lung transplantation. More recently, I have also started working with patients with EILO. Knowledge of Breathing Pattern Disorders is therefore essential and highly valuable when working with these patient groups. Level 2 begins in about two weeks, and I am very much looking forward to it." - Andi Mühlbacher, Austria
"My name is Eimhear Shortall, and I am a Senior Respiratory Physiotherapist from Ireland. I am incredibly grateful to the BradCliff team for awarding me a scholarship to continue my learning with the Level 2 course. I work in a Chronic Disease Hub in Kildare/West Wicklow, where I work with people of all ages and backgrounds. Since completing Level 1, I have found the BradCliff approach integral to shaping my assessments and interventions. It has helped me to broaden my approach to supporting my patients’ physical, social and mental wellbeing. I can’t wait to see what the next course brings!"
"I am extremely grateful to have received a scholarship for the Level 2 BradCliff course starting this October. Receiving this scholarship means I can further consolidate and expand my knowledge and skills in treating children and young people with asthma, breathing pattern disorders and EILO. Working in the NHS, accessing funding for courses can be extremely difficult, so I’m incredibly grateful to the BradCliff team for making this training more accessible. I work with children and young people across the London and south of the UK in the NHS, supporting them with respiratory and breathing-related conditions, including exercise-induced symptoms. I have a particular interest in supporting breathing for performance in young people at such a pivotal time in their sporting development. I’m really looking forward to continuing to learn, share experiences with physiotherapists from across the world and build my skills throughout the Level 2 course. A big thank you to the BradCliff team!" - Madeline Jeffries, UK
"I am so grateful for the scholarship for the Level 2 programme which will allow me to access the course.
I work in Derbyshire, UK, and set my practice up 5 years ago to improve the care for Long COVID patients especially. Most of my Respiratory or Long COVID patients experience Dysfunctional Breathing among other issues and Level 1 has been invaluable in helping them - I’d love to be able to offer more for them.
I am keen to develop more in-depth knowledge so I can continue to provide excellent patient care and improve the lives of my patients. Let's get started!" - Helen Bostock, UK
"Tēnā koutou, I’m honoured to be one of the recipients selected for the BradCliff Breathing scholarship program. I work in the Eastern Bay of Plenty - Aotearoa New Zealand as a community-based physiotherapist. I inspire to reduce access barriers for our rural community, many of whom are living with chronic respiratory conditions. Being selected for this scholarship will enable me to build on the foundations of the Level 1 course and further deepen my expertise, strengthening the support I can offer to our rural community." - Debbie McNamee, NZ
"I am incredibly grateful to receive the BradCliff Level 2 Scholarship and for the opportunity to further develop my skills in the assessment and management of breathing pattern disorders. As a physiotherapist working in the Albury–Wodonga region, I support a diverse regional population through my private practice as well as community and aged care settings. Access to specialised respiratory and breathing physiotherapy can be limited in regional areas, and I am passionate about bringing this knowledge and evidence-based care back to my local community. This scholarship will allow me to build on my existing BradCliff training and continue developing respiratory physiotherapy services locally, helping people better understand and manage their breathing, symptoms and overall wellbeing." - Kelly Ladgrove, Australia
"I’m honoured to receive a Level 2 BradCliff Breathing scholarship as a sports and pelvic health physiotherapist based in Dublin. This support means I can deepen my skills in assessing and treating breathing pattern disorders and integrate advanced breathing strategies with performance and pelvic floor rehabilitation for the athletes and active populations I work across the country. I currently work with athletes, active adults, and women seeking pelvic health care in Dublin, many of whom experience breathing pattern disorder challenges that impact performance, recovery, and daily function. This scholarship will help me bring more evidence‑based, clinically relevant breathing solutions to cmy practice, ultimately improving how we support resilient, high‑performing bodies." - Sarah Jane McDonnell, Ireland
"I’m incredibly grateful to receive the Bradcliff Breathing Level 2 scholarship. As a senior respiratory physiotherapist working across inpatient and outpatient services in a WA public hospital, I have the privilege of supporting a diverse respiratory population, including people experiencing breathing pattern dysfunction. Completing level 2 is a wonderful opportunity to further develop my skills and bring evidence-based breathing strategies back to the patients and community I work with." - Kate Lee, Australia
"I'm incredibly grateful to receive the BradCliff scholarship. As a physiotherapist based in Dunedin, New Zealand, I'm passionate about continuing to learn so I can provide the best possible care for my clients. I work with active adults, high performers, and people living with persistent pain, injuries, or more complex health challenges. This scholarship is an amazing opportunity to further develop my skills, learn from experienced clinicians, and bring that knowledge back to my community so I can continue providing evidence-based, high-quality care and achieve even better outcomes for my clients." - Kayla Drinkwater, NZ
"I am writing to express my deepest gratitude for awarding me the scholarship for the BradCliff Level 2 Course. Above all, I thank God, as I believe He is in control of everything and guides every step of my journey. Receiving this news is a true blessing and a significant milestone in my professional dedication to respiratory healthcare.
Completing my training through Level 2 provides me with a comprehensive and full perspective of the method. Ensuring there are no information gaps in my learning gives me the confidence to apply the BradCliff methodology to its fullest potential and cater effectively to every population and condition the method is designed to serve.
In my current clinical practice, I care for a very diverse group of patients: individuals in post-operative recovery, stroke (CVA) rehabilitation, patients dealing with conditions such as pneumonia or oncological diagnoses, as well as athletes looking to optimize their performance.
Having this well-rounded understanding will allow me to enhance the quality of my care and deliver tailored, specialized breathing retraining across all these settings.
Thank you once again for your trust and for granting me this invaluable opportunity." - Juan Valera, Venezuela
