Here is what you can expect and how I ensure your safety—with zero pressure to perform, fit in, or prove anything.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOUR SESSION
FAQs
BEFORE YOUR SESSION
No prior experience is required. Before every session, I will explain the breathing technique in detail, what to expect, and how your body might respond. I will be present and supporting you throughout the entire journey.
Do I need any prior experience with breathwork?
1
Nutrition: Avoid heavy meals for at least 1.5–2 hours before the session.
Substances: Refrain from alcohol or mind-altering substances for at least 24 hours prior to the session.
Mind & Body: Transformation often begins before the session even starts. You might experience a headache, an upset stomach, or a sudden mood drop right before your first session. You don't need to feel a certain way before the session. Come as you are. The process is not about forcing yourself into a particular emotional state.
How should I prepare for a session?
2
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that doesn't restrict your chest or abdomen (e.g., sweatpants, loose t-shirt, athletic wear). You will be lying down during the session, so bringing warm socks is recommended.
3
What should I wear?
For 1:1 individual sessions, everything you need (mats, blankets, and bolsters) is provided—just wear comfortable clothing and optionally bring a bottle of water.
For group workshops and events, please check the specific event details, as requirements may vary depending on the location and format.
Do I need to bring anything with me to the session?

DURING THE SESSION
What happens during the session?
5
talk → preparation → breathing → exploration → integration
You may experience physical sensations such as tingling, warmth, cold, vibrations or changes in muscle tension. Emotional responses such as crying, laughter or deep stillness can also occur. These experiences vary from person to person and are explored without forcing a particular outcome. There is no “right” experience.
What might I experience during the session?
6
Some people experience emotions, memories, imagery or bodily sensations that feel significant to them. We don't assume in advance what these experiences mean. We explore them together with curiosity and care.
What if difficult emotions arise?
7
Nothing needs to happen. Breathwork is not a performance, and there is no experience you need to achieve. Sometimes the most meaningful work is subtle.
8
What if nothing happens?
No. You don't need to tell me anything you are not ready to share. We work with what you choose to bring into the space.
Do I have to talk about my personal history?

SAFETY
Breathwork is generally well tolerated by many people, but it is not appropriate for everyone. Before working together, we discuss relevant health conditions, medications and other factors that may affect your safety.

Is breathwork safe?
Intensive breathwork is not suitable for everyone. If you have a significant cardiovascular condition, uncontrolled high blood pressure, a seizure disorder, a history of psychosis, are pregnant, or have recently undergone major surgery or experienced a serious injury, please consult your healthcare provider before participating. Certain conditions or medications may also require individual assessment.
Who should not practice breathwork?
11
Having a medical or psychological condition does not automatically mean that breathwork is inappropriate. However, some conditions require additional caution or medical clearance. Please share relevant information during the intake process so we can assess whether the practice is appropriate and adapt the session when possible.
Breathwork is complementary to medical or psychological care, not a replacement for it.
What if I have a medical or psychological condition?
12
You are always allowed to slow down, pause, or stop. If an experience becomes too intense, I will help you reconnect with your breathing, body, and surroundings and adjust the practice accordingly.
There is no need to push through or force a breakthrough. The aim is to explore your experience while staying within a manageable level of intensity.
What happens if I feel overwhelmed?
13
AFTER THE SESSION
Take your time — allow yourself space without rushing.
Stay hydrated — drink plenty of water.
Plan quiet time — set aside space to rest after the session.
Avoid planning intense activities right after — protect yourself from sudden overload.
What happens after the session?
14
Write down what feels important — capture your insights, feelings, and thoughts.
Allow the experience to integrate — give your body and mind time to process everything at a natural pace.
How should I integrate the experience?
15
There is no universal schedule or fixed limit. The right frequency depends on the individual, the intensity of the session, and what you are currently going through.
Especially after a deep or intense session, it is important to allow enough time to integrate the experience before entering another one. Sometimes that may take a few days; sometimes longer.
Rather than following a fixed schedule, I encourage you to listen to your body and notice when you genuinely feel ready to explore again.
The next session should come from readiness, not from the need to chase another experience.
How often should I do breathwork?
16
Yes. There is no fixed waiting period between sessions. However, after a deeper experience, it is important to allow enough time for integration before returning to another intensive session.
When you feel that you have integrated what came up and genuinely feel ready to explore again, you can book your next session.
The goal is not to chase experiences, but to give each experience time to become part of you.
