Breathwork can be a powerful and at times intense practice (though not all sessions are the same, as I offer a variety of methods). Please take a moment to read the information below carefully.
Breathwork is a powerful, transformative practice that can bring deep emotional release, clarity, and nervous system regulation. However, it can also be physically, mentally, and emotionally activating. For your safety and well-being, please review the following information thoroughly.
