FAQ's

Breathwork is a deeply beneficial practice known for enhancing well-being, boosting mental clarity, and facilitating emotional release. While generally safe, it can cause transient side effects like dizziness, tingling, or heightened emotions. It's important for individuals with health concerns—especially those with cardiovascular issues, respiratory conditions, severe psychological disorders, or a history of seizures—to exercise caution and consult healthcare professionals before beginning breathwork. This practice is not a substitute for professional medical or psychological treatments, and should be approached thoughtfully, particularly if you have underlying health conditions. Always discuss potential risks and benefits with a physician to ensure it is appropriate and safe for your specific situation.

Modern "Breathwork" typically refers to active breathing practices that often incorporate elements of Conscious Connected Breathwork (CCB). This approach has been increasingly popularized in recent years as a powerful tool for personal transformation, deriving largely from historical practices like Holotropic Breathwork and Rebirthing, developed by Stanislav Grof and Leonard Orr respectively.

As a facilitator, I focus on these modern, active Breathwork techniques, especially Conscious Connected Breathwork. This method emphasizes a continuous flow of breath—connecting each inhalation directly to each exhalation without pauses—to induce profound psychological and physiological changes. I enrich this foundational practice by integrating ancient pranayama techniques, energy healing, and somatic work. This combination not only leverages the physical benefits of structured breathing but also facilitates access to transformative non-ordinary states of consciousness, unlocking deep spiritual and psychological healing. Through this approach, participants can explore and transform their inner emotional landscapes, achieving profound personal growth and healing.

The number of sessions needed to achieve desired results can vary based on individual circumstances. While some clients find relief and insight after just one session, others may benefit from multiple sessions to address deeper layers of emotional or energetic blockages. Typically, a series of 6 sessions is recommended to fully integrate the healing benefits of Breathwork into one's life. 

I'm based in Austin, Texas, but my Breathwork sessions are primarily conducted virtually, allowing me to work with individuals worldwide.
