Breathwork

The short answer is: let’s chat about it! There are some physiological and psychological readiness criteria, as well as some contraindications for participating in a breathwork session. I always facilitate breathwork sessions within a wider therapeutic relationship, working with each individual to determine if and when breathwork is appropriate for them.

No, the breathwork I offer is a gentle form of Conscious Connected Breathwork. This is shorter than holotropic breathwork tends to be, and with less of a focus on intensity.

I offer breathwork in the context of an existing therapeutic relationship. At minimum, I would require: an initial consultation, one pre-breathwork preparation session, and one post-breathwork integration session. Depending on the individual, we may need to engage in more than one regular therapy session before moving into breathwork. This is in order to maximize benefits and minimize any risk of harm.

Breathwork can bring uncomfortable emotions to the surface. Creating a safe container for this work is essential to ensure these emotions are tolerable. In addition to this, there are some contraindications for breathwork which you can read about in the resource below.

Three hours total. One hour involves preparation and discussion of intention, one hour is the actual breathwork, and one hour is dedicated to post-breathwork discussion. There are short breaks in between each section.

Breathwork sessions last 3 hours, and are charged at the regular hourly rate. My full fee is $150 per hour, and I offer limited spots on sliding scale pricing ($100 - $140 per hour). Note that I typically require at least one psychotherapy session prior to breathwork focused on intention setting, and one after breathwork focused on integration work.
