Four Journeys

A magical adventure into the power of the breath

by Julia Rudakova

Stories That Heal

Four Journeys isn’t just another bedtime story. It’s a gentle, imaginative book designed to guide children into healthy, calm breathing patterns — helping them build resilience, confidence, and wellbeing.Through engaging stories and simple breathing practices woven into the narrative, children learn how their breath can:
  • Calm their nervous system
  • Support their immune health
  • Reduce anxiety and restlessness
  • Improve focus and sleep
  • Strengthen their resilience against coughs, colds, and asthma

What’s Inside

Four beautifully told journeys, each guiding your child through a different breathing adventure.

  • Magical storytelling that captures the imagination
  • Gentle breathing practices that children can follow along with
  • Tools for parents to reinforce healthy breathing habits at home
  • A nurturing way to prevent or reduce issues like mouth breathing, snoring, anxiety, and recurrent infections

Why Breathing Stories Matter

Children absorb habits through play and imagination more than instruction. By combining storytelling with functional breathing techniques, Four Journeys helps children build positive breathing patterns — without force, pressure, or resistance.This makes it perfect for:
  • Bedtime routines
  • Classroom mindfulness sessions
  • Parents wanting to support a child’s health naturally

How to use the book

The book engages children through verbal storytelling (auditory engagement), amazing illustrations (visual hook), and kinesthetic involvement (children are encouraged to trace landscapes on the page)

The more senses we engage, the better the learning outcomes are:

  • Easier to recall information
  • Using finger-tracing (kinesthetic) action we create muscle memory linked to a specific breathing pattern
  • Parents get a tool instead of just instructing kids to do breathing exercises

About the Author

Julia Rudakova is a naturopath and breathing coach specialising in children’s respiratory health. In her clinic, she has seen how functional breathing transforms children’s health — reducing anxiety, infections, and sleep issues. For a few years, Julia was part of an innovative dental program “Braceless Choice”, where she guided families through Buteyko breathing exercises to help children have beautiful smiles with straight teeth. It was during that collaboration with the dental practice when Julia realised that there is no tool on the market for parents to engage children at home in breathing exercises.

With Four Journeys, Julia brings this knowledge to families everywhere, in a form that feels light, loving, and magical.
