FAQs

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. -

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

Client Testimonials
“I have had a wonderful experience with Anette. She has such a calm presence and is so insightful. I had no idea I’ve been breathing so shallowly for so long! I feel so much more calm and grounded after my sessions with her!”
