Dr Louise Oliver

I qualified as a doctor in 1998 and have worked as a GP in the NHS since 2003. Throughout that time I have had an interest in Women's Health including providing coil and contraceptive implant procedures. I am married with two children and enjoy living in the beautiful countryside of Holmfirth. With over 20 years' experience of working in the NHS I have developed skills to help people throughout their lives. My own mindfulness journey started when I was exploring ways of improving psychological distress and chronic pain in my patients without medication. I discovered the increasing body of neuroscience evidence behind mindfulness and breathing techniques. I became a perimenopausal snorer which had a significant negative impact on my sleep and ability to function. After improving my breathing efficiency I stopped snoring and my sleep, exercise tolerance and stress resilience improved. I want others to experience the benefits from breathing efficiently.
