Emma was recently invited by Fariya Doctor, a Feldenkrais practitioner in Canada, to give an online talk about Women and Sleep Apnea. Since raising awareness about Sleep Apnea is part of Emma's mission with this podcast, she jumped at the chance! This bonus episode is an edited audio version of Emma's talk. In this episode Emma discusses:
* Her own journey with Sleep Apnea;
* Overview of symptoms to look for and how these can often present differently in men and women;
* Case Studies of women featured on the podcast and different reasons they went years without diagnosis;
* Different treatments for Sleep Apnea, including CPAP, Mandibular Advancement Devices and Inspire. Emma touches on other less well known treatments, like palate expansion, buteyko breathing, myofunctional therapy, didgeridoo playing and the new Excite OSA treatment.
