Deborah Eraut, CBBA Certified Breathing Behavior Analyst

Deborah views breathing as a behaviour and offers a science-based, behaviour-focused approach to stress and recovery, using biofeedback and behavioural analysis to identify the root causes of dysfunctional breathing patterns. She helps clients restore the body’s natural capacity for self-regulation through Breathing Behavior Analysis.
Deborah completed her training as a Certified Breathing Behavior Analyst (CBBA) through the Professional School of Behavioral Health Sciences. She went on to complete further coursework in respiratory chemistry, high-performance breathing, and trauma-informed breathwork facilitation, and earned a certificate in Somatic Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (SCBT) through The Embody Lab.

Her path to this work began over 37 years ago, when her immersion in yoga, meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness introduced her to the connection between breath, body, and self-regulation. That early exploration grew into a career-defining question(s): why do people breathe the way they do, how does that pattern shape their physiology, and what is it quietly costing them beneath the surface?

That question led Deborah to formal training in respiratory physiology and behavioural science, grounding her work in objective, data-driven assessment rather than guesswork. Using biofeedback equipment like the CapnoTrainer®, HRV belt, oximeter, and specialized software, she helps clients see their breathing chemistry in real time and feel their own mechanics at work, then builds individualized retraining plans using desensitization, habit extinction, and counterconditioning to create lasting change.

Today, Deborah works with first responders managing performance under pressure, high performers seeking a physiological edge, and clients navigating migraines, chronic pain, and anxiety. Across all of them, her goal is the same: helping people breathe for optimal health and performance.
