Question 1

What are the benefits of your sessions?

Accepted Answer

The benefits are huge! They'll range from session to session but benefits include feeling more energised, calmer, more focussed, more relaxed, sleeping better, feeling more present. 
In our 'Introduction to Breathwork' courses and workshops, you'll learn how to use your breath to help you achieve these states.

Question 2

What can I expect during a typical Breathwork to unwind and Breathwork for focus session?

Accepted Answer

In breathwork to unwind sessions, we'll practice a series of breathing techniques to help your nervous system calm down and activate your rest and digest response ahead, preparing you to slow down at the end of the day.

In breathwork for focus sessions, we'll use breathing techniques to ground you, make you feel calm and alert, and ensure you're in a productive state of mind.

Question 3

Is the session safe for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Whilst there are some breathing exercises which are not safe for everyone (particularly for those with high blood pressure, those who are pregnant and those who have breathing difficulties) I will always signpost these and give you safe options.

Question 4

How should I prepare for my session?

Accepted Answer

In our sessions you may be standing, sitting or lying down, so ensure you have a place which allows you to do this. Wherever you practice should be clean and quiet . Aim to turn your phone onto airplane mode (unless you are using it to log into Zoom), and ask anyone living with you not to disturb you for the duration of our session.

Question 5

Is it better to book an online or in person session?

Accepted Answer

Breathwork sessions can be very effective online, as long as you are able to minimise any other form or disruption around you. They are also more convenient for the Breathwork to unwind sections as you will be able to switch off Zoom and get into your evening routine immediately.

The benefits of Breathwork sessions in person are they provide more opportunity for collaboration and bonding, and it's easier to ask if you're unsure (although this is always possible on Zoom too).

Question 6

But are breathwork practices dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Some practices such as conscious connected breathing and holotropic breathing ask you to breathe heavily and deeply in order to access the subconscious. These practices are not included in my sessions.
