Disclaimer:
Before engaging in Breathwork Therapy, it is important to understand and acknowledge the following:
​
1. Breathwork therapy is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological advice, diagnosis, or treatment. It is essential to consult with a qualified healthcare provider regarding any medical or mental health concerns you may have.
​
2. Breathwork techniques, including conscious connected breathing and other related practices, can evoke powerful physical, mental, and emotional responses. These responses may include the release of stored emotions, physical sensations, or intense psychological experiences. It is important to approach breathwork with self-care and to honor your own boundaries and limits during the process.
​
3. Breathwork therapy involves altering your breathing patterns, which may impact your physiological state. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or respiratory issues, it is crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before engaging in breathwork therapy to ensure it is safe for you.
​
4. Breathwork sessions may bring up deeply rooted emotions or traumatic experiences. While the intention is to facilitate healing and personal growth, it is essential to have adequate support systems in place, such as a qualified therapist or counsellor, to help navigate any challenging experiences that may arise.
​
5. The efficacy of breathwork therapy can vary among individuals, and results may differ. Each person's experience is unique, and it is important to approach breathwork therapy with an open mind and without rigid expectations.
​
6. It is crucial to engage in breathwork therapy sessions with a trained and experienced facilitator who can provide guidance, create a safe environment, and address any concerns or questions that may arise during the process.
​
By engaging in breathwork therapy, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the above disclaimer. You take full responsibility for your own well-being and understand that the facilitator and any associated parties are not liable for any adverse effects or consequences that may result from your participation in breathwork therapy.
