CAN ANYONE DO BREATHwork?

I am currently working with adults of all ages. Breathwork is a low risk activity.

I do not make medical recommendations, please consult your GP if you are unsure whether you should undertake an active meditative breathwork session.

You don’t need to have experience of breathwork or meditation to come to a 1:1 or group session.

what will the BREATHwork session be like?

The type of breathwork I facilitate is an active breathing meditation, a form of pranayama. It is a simple technique where you breath deep into your belly, then into your chest and then you breathe out through the mouth. I will guide you how to do this style of breathwork practice.

During the active breathwork I may support you to release stuck emotions by guiding you to scream into a pillow, laugh or make some movement.

Sometimes during a session you may feel warm or cold. It is also possible that your hands will cramp, making a claw shape, they will return to normal. During in-person sessions, with your permission, I may give your hand massage or give you some crystals to hold to help you with this. You may see different colours or shapes, have visions, connect with loved ones, All of these sensations are perfectly normal and natural and a sign that the breathwork is working.

Following the active breath meditation there will be a period of resting breath where you return to your natural breathe.

We will have a check in at the start of the session and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions at the beginning and end.

I play music during sessions.

During in person sessions I use a crystal pyramid and tuning forks to support your healing. I also use essential oils (including applying them on you with your permission), incense and crystals.

For 1:1 sessions you have the option of adding a gong bath at the end of your breathwork session.

WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT TO SEE?

Most of us suppress our feelings which can lead to anxiety, stress, low mood and the storing of emotions in our body and mind. The style of breathwork I use helps quieten the mind, supports the release of emotions and helps you achieve a balanced state.

This breathwork helps you create a deep relationship with yourself, working through the challenges that life has thrown at you in your childhood and adult life. You can programme/reprogramme yourself with self-love and compassion, peeling away layers of conditioning, trauma and truly come home to yourself.

Breathwork can be an intense experience; usually people feel deeply relaxed and light afterwards.
