Feel safe
Before You Begin Breathwork
1. Not a substitute for medical care:
Breathwork is a therapeutic tool but is not a replacement for professional medical or psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Please consult a qualified healthcare professional if you have any medical or mental health concerns.
2. Strong physical and emotional responses:
Conscious connected breathing and related techniques can sometimes bring up strong physical sensations or emotional releases. Honour your own boundaries and practise self-care throughout the session.
3. Medical conditions:
Altering breathing patterns can affect your physiology. If you have pre-existing medical conditions, especially respiratory or cardiovascular issues, please consult your healthcare provider before engaging.
4. Emotional and trauma release:
Sessions may surface deeply rooted emotions or past experiences. While this can be healing, it is important to have supportive resources such as a therapist, counsellor, or trusted friend to help integrate what arises.
5. Individual experiences vary:
Each person’s journey is unique. Some may feel profound shifts, others more subtle changes. Approach breathwork with openness and without rigid expectations.
6. Trained facilitation:
Always practise breathwork with a trained and experienced facilitator who can create a safe, supportive environment and guide you throughout the process.
