​

What should I think about before our online Breathwork session?​

• Avoid eating a heavy meal- Many find it helpful to avoid eating a large meal for at least two hours before your breathwork session. Everyone's body is unique, so find what works best for you. Overloading your stomach with food can make it harder to enter an Altered State of Consciousness, as your body focuses on digestion. 

• Creating Your Sacred Space- For your breathwork session, it's best to lie down on a yoga mat, your couch, or your bed. Ensure you have enough space around you to move comfortably and dim the lights, close your curtains or wear an eye mask. Consider if your space allows for vocal expressions like singing, crying, or releasing emotions comfortably- if not, I like to use a pillow to scream into.

• Prioritize comfort by wearing loose-fitting, layered clothing that you can easily remove and keep a blanket closeby in case you get cold

• Enhance Sound Quality- High-quality, loud music is essential for the session. Over-ear headphones are ideal, but earbuds work too. If you have a computer with great sound and understanding neighbors, that's fine as well. If you're using a mobile phone, earbuds or headphones are necessary for good sound quality. Ensure your laptop or device is fully charged or plugged in for the entire session.

• A stable internet connection is crucial to prevent audio interruptions during your breathing journey. Better internet connectivity results in improved sound quality. If you plan to use a mobile phone, install the Zoom app from the app store beforehand. If others share your network, ask them to limit streaming and internet usage during your session.

• Create an Undisturbed Space- Turn off your phone and place a "do not disturb" sign on your door if others are at home. Coordinate with your family, housemates, or neighbors to maintain a quiet, undisturbed environment. If you have close neighbors, consider informing them that you may make some noise depending on how loud you want to be:)

• Helpful Items to Keep Nearby- Some examples: Tissues-for emotions being released, a water bottle, a blanket, and pillows nearby. You might also want a cup for any need to spit, a journal and pen for notes and creative expression, and any items that make you feel grounded and centered.

• Preparation and Arrival-The Zoom room will open approximately 5 minutes before the start time. Please arrive a few minutes early to settle in and ensure we can begin promptly.

After the Session

​

What are the benefits of online breathwork?

Online breathwork offers a range of benefits and they are the same benefits as doing a breathwork session in person- It can help reduce stress and anxiety, enhance mental clarity, and improve emotional well-being. It's a wonderful tool for self-discovery, promoting relaxation, and supporting personal growth. Many find it helps strengthen their connection to themselves and others, all from the comfort of your own space.

​

​

Can online breathwork help with anxiety?

Yes! Online breathwork can be a soothing balm for anxiety, speaking from my own experience. The mindful, circular breathing pattern can calm the nervous system, helping you find peace and balance. It's a gentle yet powerful practice that many have found immensely helpful in managing anxiety and creating a sense of inner calm.

​

Is online breathwork suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! My online breathwork session is welcoming to beginners and I will walk you through all the basic information you need to know before breathing in this transformational way. I provide guidance and create a safe space for you to explore this transformative practice, making it accessible and enjoyable for all of you who are new to breathwork.
