Asthma education and tools designed to support parents beyond appointments.
Understanding asthma is hard when symptoms change and appointments feel rushed. Thrive Pulmonary provides education and tools to help families track patterns, prepare for care, and feel more confident between visits.
Your child seems fine most days, but symptoms flare suddenly
You’re unsure how often is too often for the blue inhaler
Nighttime coughing keeps coming back
Appointments feel rushed and you forget what you wanted to ask
You’re told asthma is “mild,” but it doesn’t always feel that way
Does any of this sound familiar?
If this feels familiar, Thrive Pulmonary was created to help bring clarity and structure to families navigating asthma care
Knowledge helps turn uncertainty into confidence
Asthma symptoms can change over time, which makes it hard to know what matters.
Learning what to watch for helps families feel more confident about when to monitor, when to adjust, and when to ask for help.
Thrive Pulmonary Helps to Bring Structure to Asthma Care
Education provides the foundation for confident asthma care. Thrive Pulmonary focuses on helping families understand asthma first — so recognizing symptoms and tracking patterns feels clear and purposeful.
1.
Build Knowledge
Clear, parent-friendly education helps families understand what asthma is, why symptoms change, and how inflammation and triggers affect breathing — without medical jargon or overwhelm.
2.
Recognize Meaningful Symptoms & Patterns
With a stronger understanding of asthma, parents can better recognize which symptoms matter, how often they’re happening, and what changes over time — instead of second-guessing every cough or flare.
3.
Track with Purpose & Confidence
When families know what to look for, tracking becomes simpler and more useful. Information is organized in a way that supports clearer conversations with healthcare providers and more confident decision-making.
We know that Asthma management doesn’t stop when appointment end.
Thrive supports families beyond appointments by providing education that grows confidence, tools to help track and organize symptoms so you can go to your next appointment prepared, all carefully curated by a Registered Respiratory Therapist and Certified Educator.

“The Asthma Journal I wish I had sooner”
“Seeing the Patterns in Asthma” wasn’t created as a generic place to jot things down.
It was designed by a Registered Respiratory Therapist to reflect how asthma actually behaves — changing over time, flaring with illness or activity, and often looking different from week to week.
By focusing on patterns rather than isolated moments, this tracker helps families capture what matters most and feel more prepared when it’s time to talk with their care team.
When my son was diagnosed with asthma at just 18 months, my world shifted. For years, I had been the healthcare provider — guiding parents through fear and uncertainty. Suddenly, I was on the other side: a worried, exhausted mom searching for answers.
Before his diagnosis, I felt so confused and unsure of what was happening. I knew something needed to be done, but I wasn’t sure where to turn. The frightening trips to the emergency department, the endless waits to see specialists, and the countless unanswered questions left me overwhelmed. Despite my background as a Registered Respiratory Therapist, I felt just as lost as the families I had cared for.
I knew I had to advocate for my son — to push for him to be started on the proper medications he needed to gain control of his asthma symptoms. That persistence made all the difference. Once he was effectively treated, his health and quality of life improved dramatically.
It became clear to me: there has to be a better way.
That belief is what inspired me to create Thrive Pulmonary Health — a place where families and individuals can find clarity, practical tools, and ongoing support. My mission is to ensure no one has to face their lung health journey feeling alone or powerless.
