Helping people just like you

  • I have found that the iMaster Health program has helped me greatly. Not only has it allowed me to start getting back in shape, but it has also improved my breathing to the point where I can walk, climb stairs, and even do light work without getting as fatigued as before. If you work hard and believe in yourself, then your breathing can and should improve. Mine did, and I recommend it to anyone.

  • A year ago, I had lung surgery and was diagnosed with COPD and asthma. It was sudden, and it was very difficult to face the diagnosis. What made it even harder was having to wait for therapy while dealing with severe breathing problems every day. I felt lost and lonely, so I started searching the internet. That’s how I found iMaster Health, the best platform for anyone with lung problems. A year later, my life has completely changed. I now go to the office three times a week, occasionally go out, laugh more, and believe in happy endings again. At my recent annual check-up, it was confirmed that my lung capacity had increased by 12% compared to a year ago. I could go on about the many benefits I’ve experienced, but my advice is simple: start with iMaster Health and keep doing your best. You’ll see results sooner than you think!

  • I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Fibrosis and initially found very little information about the disease. However, I learned how important exercise is for living with PF, so I enrolled with iMaster Health. Best decision I ever made! Amanda is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her clients. Her exercise program is top-notch. My oxygen saturation numbers improved, as did my endurance. I will continue to use her program for maintenance.
