No. These sessions are very simple in nature. We simply focus on breath awareness and open the exploration from there.

Group sessions are very warm, welcoming and down-to-earth. Some can feel nervous about joining the group experience, but often those nerves dissolve as soon as you walk through the doors and feel how approachable and welcoming the group is. A good thing to remember is that what sparked your interest in attending is often what interested the rest of the group also. There's common ground from the very start and that feeling of community grows during the session. The group sessions usually run as follows: - Opening and thorough introduction, with lots of time to ask any questions - Practice of the breath style before we begin, again, time to ask any questions and time to settle in so that you feel super comfortable - The Breathwork Journey - Gentle return to the space - Integration and sharing time for as long as feels needed (I recommend not rushing back to life afterwards) Follow up: - Two days after the session, I encourage you to check in with me via text or a call if needed.

Please read the below guidance and waiver (which you will be required to sign before attending). Please seek advice from your healthcare provider if needed. Often the Breathwork itself can be modified so that everyone can take part in the experience in some form, so please do reach out with any queries. IMPORTANT: Please read the information below carefully which details when Breathwork may not be possible, or may need some consideration, discussion and consultation with your medical practitioner beforehand. Please reach out with any queries and to discuss ahead of your session. A breathing session may not be suitable for you if you have the following conditions. Cardiovascular problems, abnormally high blood pressure, low blood pressure, aneurysms, epilepsy and seizures in the past, anyone taking heavy medication, severe psychiatric symptoms especially psychosis or paranoia, bipolar, osteoporosis, recent surgery, glaucoma, pregnancy, any person with a mental illness who is not in treatment or lacks adequate support. People with asthma should bring their own inhaler and consult with their physician and breathing session instructor before participating.

For all sessions, please bring along a water bottle, and if possible, a snack for afterwards. A journal and anything else to make you feel comfortable is also welcome. For one to one sessions, unless otherwise mentioned ahead of time, all blankets, mats and eye masks will be provided. For group sessions, depending on the venue, these may or may not be provided. Details will be listed on the event page. If in doubt, bring along a blanket, yoga mat and an eye mask.

Please refrain from stimulants including alcohol and caffeine in the lead up to your session. It can be difficult for your system to fully relax and for the connection to feeling body awareness to be felt when consuming caffeine. Loose, comfortable clothing is advised for ease of breath and movement during the session. It's also helpful to bring layers to accomodate temperature changes which are common during a Breathwork or movement session. To encourage deep belly breaths and for comfort, a heavy meal in your tummy beforehand isn't advised. Leaving a 2-3 hours between a meal and the start of your session is ideal. A light snack is okay. This is obviously unique to personal circumstance and comfort level.
