What if strong emotions come up?
That’s a natural part of the process. When emotions surface, it’s often your body’s way of releasing what it’s ready to let go of. The space I hold is designed to support whatever arises. You’ll always have the option to slow down, pause, or simply breathe gently. You can’t do it wrong.

Is this the same as meditation?
They’re connected, but not the same. Meditation usually focuses on stillness and awareness of the mind, while breathwork is more active. It uses the body’s rhythm to shift your state of being. Many people find it an easier entry point to presence than traditional meditation.

How often should I practice?
Even five to ten minutes a day can make a big difference. What matters most is consistency. The goal isn’t to add another task to your list, but to build a steady rhythm that supports you.

What might I feel in my body?
You might notice tingling, temperature changes, waves of emotion, or a sense of lightness or heaviness. All of these are normal. Sometimes, especially during more active breathing, you may also experience tetany, a temporary tightening or cramping sensation that most often appears in the hands, around the face, or in the legs. It happens when your carbon dioxide levels drop as your blood becomes more oxygenated. While it can feel surprising or intense, it’s completely safe and will pass once you return to a normal breathing pattern. If it feels uncomfortable, simply slow down or soften your breath, and it will release on its own.

Do I need any special equipment?
No special setup is needed. All you need is a quiet, comfortable space where you can sit or lie down without distractions. Some people like to use a blanket, eye mask, or headphones, but that’s completely optional.

Is breathwork safe for everyone?
The style I guide can range from calming and restorative to more activating and cathartic, depending on the session. Most people can safely participate, but if you’re pregnant or have a history of serious cardiovascular issues, epilepsy, or recent major surgery, it’s best to consult your doctor before practicing. Always listen to your body and move at a pace that feels right for you.

What makes your approach to breathwork different?
Safety, consent, and choice are always at the center of my sessions. I offer clear guidance and multiple options so you can move at your own pace. The goal is to create a supportive space where your nervous system feels safe enough to release and reset, never pushed or overwhelmed.

How is this different from just taking a deep breath?
Taking a deep breath can calm you in the moment, but guided breathwork follows specific patterns over time to create a deeper physiological and emotional reset. It’s not just relaxation; it’s an intentional process of release and regulation.

What should I do after a session?
Take a few quiet minutes to rest and feel your body. Drink some water, move slowly, and avoid jumping straight back into your phone or work. You might feel tender, open, or deeply calm afterward. This is integration, and it’s an important part of the healing process.
