Breathe better. Teach better.
Perform Stronger
My Breathing Buddy™ is a touchless, anatomically accurate breathing simulator that helps educators, performers, and coaches understand how the body truly breathes—clearly, safely, and without physical touch.
One simple tool.
A lifetime of better breathing.
What it is
My Breathing Buddy™ is a handheld, 3-D lung, ribcage, and diaphragm simulator that visually demonstrates how breathing works in real time.
When activated, the diaphragm visibly descends, the ribcage expands, and the lungs fill—making breath mechanics immediately clear for learners of all ages.
No internet.
No electricity required.
No one-size-fits-some explanations.
Why it matters
The way we teach the body is changing.
In music, athletics, education, and therapy, physical touch has long been used to explain breath and posture.
Today’s classrooms demand safer, more inclusive, and more ethical approaches.
My Breathing Buddy™ enables:
Touchless teaching
Clear, anatomically accurate instruction
Trauma-informed, boundary-safe learning
Accessibility for visual, kinesthetic, and neurodiverse learners
This is the future of teaching the body.
Who it's for
Designed for people who teach performance, focus, and the human body.
Performing arts educators (band, orchestra, choir, theater, dance).
Ensemble directors & private teachers.
Athletic coaches & trainers
Wellness and breath specialists.
K–12 and higher education classrooms.
If you teach how the body performs under pressure, this tool is for you.
