Breathwork is a completely safe practice; however, the body will respond in physical ways that may seem odd. Tetany is the most common physical side effect; it’s where your hands will curl inwards toward your heart. This usually passes within 15 minutes of completing the practice. Your ears may ring for about 20 minutes after breathwork. During the session, your body may shake, move around, or you’ll feel the need to scream. This is all part of the energetic release.

Breathwork is not recommended for pregnant women. The practice can create intense emotionality within the system, which may create emotional disruption for the baby. Breathwork is highly recommended prenatal to allow for the release of past trauma and to create a healthy energetic environment for the baby, as well as postnatal. Breathwork is safe to use when breastfeeding.

If you have any medical conditions or are currently taking medication, please consult your doctor before starting breathwork. Medical conditions may include, but are not limited to, high blood pressure, depression, kidney disease, heart disease, chronic panic attacks, and asthma.

It’s important to listen to your body when you are checking in with this question. Breathwork is completely safe to do every single day, or twice a day. However, you want to first ask yourself, “What is my intention for my practice?” Ask yourself the why behind wanting to complete the practice. There are absolutely no downsides for increasing the duration of your sessions or the number of sessions completed on a weekly basis.

The core difference is that this Breathwork is for healing and transformation. There are a lot of breathing practices where the goal or outcome is relaxation, but with this method, relaxation and connection are an aftereffect of the practice. The goal with me is to unearth the stuck energy that prevents you from living in your highest alignment and operating in elevated frequencies.

This technique offers two different types of breathwork practices: integrative and meditative. Integrative practices are the practices that can be used during the day, in combination with your daily activities. The intention for integrative breathwork practices is rooted in relaxation and mental clarity. The meditative practices are for transformation. Meditative practices are done lying down on a mat in privacy or with a group. Meditative practices are guided by a trained Facilitator.

There are elements that are similar to Holotropic. This Breathwork is heavily focused on using the practice as a means of embodiment and energetic integration among my clients. I use the body’s intelligence as a reference to integrate these states and frequencies in everyday life.

Breathwork is a completely safe practice; however, the body will respond in physical ways that may seem odd. Tetany is the most common physical side effect; it’s where your hands will curl inwards toward your heart. This usually passes within 15 minutes. Your ears may ring for up to 20 minutes after your session. During the session, your body may shake, move around, or you’ll feel the need to scream. This is all part of the energetic release.  ​ Hands cramping is also completely normal. It’s an involuntary contraction called tetany where the muscles lead to temporary paralysis of some part of the body, usually the hands, feet, face, or around the waist. It is perfectly normal and harmless. It will pass as soon as you soften the exhale. Tetany can be caused by over-breathing past the point of what the body feels is normal. It usually arises from resistance to unconscious material wanting to come to the surface. The energy escapes from our extremities--our hands--thus causing tetany to occur. Tetany in the hands can mean you’re holding onto something. If this happens, ask yourself: what am I holding on to?

Completely, in fact, this is exactly what we want to happen. The intention my Breathwork is to release the emotions that are on the surface. The stuck energy we are holding onto needs to be released with crying, screaming, shaking, and moving the body. Each practice will be completely different. Allow for the variety - some breathwork experiences will be blissful and loving, others will be more intense. Trust that whatever experience you’re meant to have will unfold.  ​

Completely normal. When we are releasing energy from the body, we will tap into emotions that call upon images from this life or previous lives. About 30% of people will get visuals when they are doing breathwork, or they will begin to get visuals the more they practice breathwork.
