You've probably found yourself wondering why you have difficulty breathing and not sure what to do about it.

- A sensation of tightness in the chest or throat
- Coughing
- Signs typically linked with respiratory diseases (Asthma)
What is VCD?
Vocal Cord Dysfunction (VCD) is a condition where the vocal cords close or narrow when they should be open, intermittently obstructing the airway and disrupting normal breathing.
But here's the thing – it's not just a physical issue. VCD can also take a toll on your mental and spiritual well-being. That's why our breathing techniques webinar series goes beyond the physical aspect and aims to harmonize your overall wellness.

If equipped with the right tools, could I spearhead my own healing journey to manage VCD?
The answer is YES, and it's embodied within the V.I.T.A.L. Connection framework. Each letter represents both a strategic step and a desired outcome, offering a path that moves from a Vocal Cord Dysfunction diagnosis to implementing holistic lifestyle changes.
Let's break down the elements:
- VALIDATING your Vocal Cord Dysfunction diagnosis is crucial. This validation is not the end but the start, setting the stage to identify specific triggers, like the breathing difficulties distinctive to VCD.
- IDENTIFY focuses on uncovering triggers for your VCD episodes, such as Laryngopharyngeal Reflux (LPR). Identifying these triggers isn't just academic; it's essential to address the root causes of your symptoms, offering more than mere symptomatic relief.
- THERAPIES. Beyond symptoms, our goal is holistic healing, integrating the Integrative Principles to Health — Breathwork, Movement, and Practice. These principles, especially breathwork, aim to restore your breath, a critical component for VCD management, ensuring long-term wellness.
- ADVOCACY is paramount. As a Board-Certified Nurse Coach, my approach emphasizes partnership, education, and empowerment. Recognizing that you, as a client with VCD, possess an innate understanding of your boundaries and capabilities, my role is not to dictate but rather to support and empower your healing journey.
- "L" SIGNIFIES LIFESTYLE TRANSFORMATION. Beyond dietary or exercise changes, it's about a comprehensive shift in well-being awareness.
"Nancy has shown me how to be a healthier and happier person. I had never worked with a nurse coach before, so I wasn't sure what to expect working with Nancy.
I am so glad I did because it was the first time I felt heard and understood about my VCD. Nancy was patient, kind, and very knowledgeable about VCD. Her techniques worked for me, and I finally have my VCD under control."
STACEY
""I knew I was in the right hands when I reached out to Nancy about my VCD. Her background as a Registered Nurse and Board-Certified Nurse Coach gave me security in knowing she is educated about the body and how it works. From the moment we met I knew I could trust her. She was honest, understanding, knowledgeable, and immediately made me feel safe. My VCD is under control now and so thankful to Nancy for helping me."
KARA
"Since working with Nancy, I have learned to use many of the breathing, relaxation, and meditation techniques to lessen my everyday stress and anxiety. I always look forward to our sessions, as I always take away something helpful that can be directly applied to all aspects of my daily routine."

Breathwork is about harmonizing Mental, Spiritual, and Physical Health.
Breathwork isn’t simply an exercise in inhaling and exhaling. At its core, it involves intentional and mindful control of breathing patterns, which serves as a bridge connecting the mind and body.
The path to wellness starts with a single breath.
The effectiveness of breathwork helps manage and reduce the frequency of VCD episodes.

The Power of the Breath
Meet Nurse Coach Nancy
Well, let me introduce myself. I'm a Board-Certified Nurse Coach with over 23 years of experience in the healthcare industry.
Throughout my career, I've worked in various roles, honing my clinical skills and creating safe environments for both staff and patients. But it was my personal encounter in suffering from vocal cord dysfunction that truly opened my eyes to this widely unknown diagnosis, and these breathing technique tools radically made a difference in my health.
