The approach, experience, and story of the founder and instructor of BDDS™.
I have practiced dentistry for more than 30 years. Alongside my professional life, I have spent many years training and practicing in yoga, meditation, breath, and body awareness.
I continue to explore the relationship between health, the body, and human behavior through both my clinical experience and my personal practice.
Today, my aim is to share this experience under the umbrella of BDDS™ as a system that is clear, applicable, and easy to carry into everyday life.
From observation to a method
Throughout my career, I observed that stress is not only mental; it can appear in the jaw, breath, muscles, and throughout the body.
These observations led me toward nervous-system education, body awareness, and regulation. BDDS™ grew from a desire to unite scientific knowledge with clear, sustainable everyday practices.
My Professional Journey
I am a graduate of Istanbul University Faculty of Dentistry. Throughout more than 30 years of clinical experience, I observed not only oral and dental health, but also the effects of stress, fear, jaw clenching, breath, and the body on human health.
Alongside my clinical practice, I trained and worked for many years in yoga, meditation, breath, body awareness, and various complementary practices. Over time, I set out to bring this experience together with nervous-system science, developing a simpler and more sustainable approach that can be applied in daily life.

How Was BDDS™ Born?
BDDS™ was born from observations gathered over years in the clinic, in trainings, and in my own life. My aim was to create a clear, applicable system that keeps scientific knowledge connected to daily life, through which each person can develop their own balance skills through breath, body, emotion, mind, and connection.
