No experience is needed.

You don’t need to breathe “correctly” or in a certain way. We work with what’s already available to you.

Breathwork is the intentional use of the breath to support awareness, regulation, and nervous system balance.

In my work, breath is used gently and responsively, and not as a performance or a technique to “push through” discomfort.

No. I do not use fast, forceful, or cathartic breathing styles.

This work is not about emotional release at all costs. It’s about helping your nervous system feel supported and resourced.

This breathwork is used to support nervous system regulation, not intensity or emotional release.

Depending on your needs, this may include:

• Regulation-based breathing (informed by Polyvagal Theory)

• Breathing to support deep rest, sleep and recovery

• Breathing chemistry (reducing over-breathing, improving efficiency & capacity)

• Breathing mechanics (nasal, diaphragmatic, less effortful breathing)

• Breathing for movement or exercise

• Breathwork to support burnout and chronic overwhelm

• Breathwork to build interoceptive awareness and presence

All practices are paced, practical, and responsive to your system.

Most contraindications relate to extreme breathwork, such as prolonged breath holds or forceful over-breathing.

The breathwork I use is gentle and regulation-focused. There is no pushing, hyperventilation, or intense breath retention. Practices are always adapted, and breathwork is optional.

Breath-hold and over-breathing training is not for individuals with:

• Cardiac issues (e.g., heart disease, arrhythmias).

• Uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes.

• Severe respiratory diseases (e.g., COPD, emphysema).

• Pregnancy.

• History of stroke or aneurysm.

• Recent high stress, anxiety or panic attacks

• Psychosis or PTSD
